re: If you sign too many 3 star corners...

this is what separates us from the likes of bama/Clemson

theres a big drop-off of talent/inexperience whenever LSU have players opting out

team doesn't have quality depth and it's always been like that

for every great 3 star theres probably a 3-4 who contribute very little

Any roster in the country compared to bama depth wise is going to look worse.

im well aware, but theres a lot of posters who really believe LSU has as much talent as Bama year and year out..

its just not true. we had a juggernaut season last year, everything lined up make it as special as it was.

but if we are recruiting 3 stars at positions of need theres going to be a drop-off in production.

ive heard it before, we wont see the fruits of our labor in recruiting after winning the SHIP until the following recruiting cycle.

that is was ok to strike out on the top ranked recruits last recruiting cycle because lsu was going to make up for it this cycle.

if this team doesn't find a way to put up Ws then all that recruiting pitch goes to the wayside.

hopefully this staff closes the deal better than years past, but I have my doubts

I agree that Saturday was a very poor performance by our whole defense, especially the DBs.
But what school has the #1 CB recruit in two successive years? We do!Stingley and Ricks.
How many have a Top 10 athlete recruit playing multiple DB positions in his SR year like Jacoby Stevens? Cordale Flott was the #46 best CB in his class and had offers from every school in SECW plus Florida & TN, among others. We didn't play like DBU but we have some horses. BTW, Moo State will torch many other teams this year as Leach is VERY good at finding weak spots and picking on the weakest players. They will average 30+ per game

Ummm ever heard of Jaylen Waddle and Devonta Smith?

I would like to see Dwight McGlothern get reps. I don’t care if he’s only been on campus for a couple months.

I have to say, Ricks playing his first collegiate game ever, against an air raid offense, where his compatriots weren't getting it done beside him, with an experienced QB who played an excellent game, with very little S help, played a helluva game with all things considered.

He stands alone in that.

Looking at him, DBU is alive and well.

We did just let an SEC record be set against us. It is a combination of coaches, players, and external conditions. But most of it is fixable. Unlike past coaches who failed to recognize that it was more than players going out and just executing better this staff knows that just demanding more of the same but done better isn't the solution and that fixes across the board are needed. I have no doubt that they will be applied.

So with a staff that is self-critical and seeing players like Ricks out there the pessimism is unwarranted. The bitching and anger isn't. MSST did have a record setting performance; bitch, complain, and critique away. That happened, it really did.

Just realize that is warranted for only one game. It can't be extrapolated to future games with a staff who is dedicated to fixing things and giving extremely talented players like Ricks both the tools and resources to do better.

Nope, not true. Ward and Flott were 3* and Evans wasn't even rated. Let me guess...that still only makes 2 3* huh?

---

Yes. Thats still only 2 3*s.

I didn't count Evans because he shoudldn't be out there. That was a desperation grab by the staff.

Even if he's a 0*, he isn't a 3*. Which is the context of the post.

You are now dubbed "Pretzel Man" because you twisted yourself all over the place trying to spin and make excuses for a nonsense/false claim. Psst, a guy not rated at all is WORSE than a 3*. So once again, your statement that LSU has only 2 3* on the roster is bogus! Admit you screwed up and move on. Oh, and "I didn't count Evans because he shouldn't be out there." Seriously????

---

I mean this is an odd take. Its really easy to think you're right when you ignore context.

LSU has 2 3* corners on the Roster. Thats a fact. They didn't recruit Evans when he was in hs. The ONLY reason he is on the team is because we are short handed.

The premise of the post was that we recruited too many 3* players. Make your point but its not related to the OP which mine is. But you can think you're so smart. Poor fella.

quote:

NOT a fact. BTW, I don't have to be a genius to point out YOU made a mistake and apparently don't want to admit it.

---

I didn't make a mistake. I didn't include Evans because in my mind he doesn't matter in the context of LSU recruiting too many 3* cornerbacks. LSU was desperate for a CB and they grabbed him. In the CONTEXT OF THE ORIGINAL POST, he is a non factor.

The original post was about LSU recruiting too many 3* corners. LSU HAS ONLY RECRUITED 2 3* CORNERS SINCE ED TOOK OVER. They are currently the only 2 on the roster.

Im not arguing that you are wrong. But I'm not wrong. We DO NOT recruit too many 3* corners.

How sad is it that you attack me because you can't understand what I'm saying.

You personify the term "rantard"

Since you called names first (rantard), I will counter with lying a-hole!

I did not lie and I didn't make a mistake. I DIDN"T INCLUDE HIM INTENTIONALLY!!

as i have stated. WHy is that hard for you to accept?

and yes you called me names before i did.
