He played against vastly superior competition than the consensus #1 QB in this recruiting cycle, and looked better doing it. As other posters have said, if he was closer to 6-2 than 5-9, he'd not just be a 5 Star, he'd be the highest rated QB in the country.

Pretty sure Herb Tyler was listed at 6' 0" I'd take Herb in Kiffin's offense.

Out of respect for Jayden Daniels they didn't list him as 5' 12"

LSU is his dream school. Lane Kiffin is his dream coach. I'm normally not shocked at any flips nowadays, but it would absolutely shock me if he did. I feel like he's as firm a commitment as you can get.

It wasn't funny because it doesn't make sense. Why would they list him as 5'-12"? At least you tried though. I admire your effort. You just need better material. There's a whole thread with funny memes about the Jayden Daniels situation that you should read.

I am not sure how much that it matters, but on the Fox interview, "Pop" confirmed he had a 4.00 GPA. Intelligence to pick up things quickly could be an asset.

I agree his sub 6 foot frame is hurting him.


Kyler and Johnny football sub 6’ QB heisman winners. Baker not far off right at 6’

If he can ball, it won’t be an issue! Under CLK and his offensive schemes he has everything in his favor to be great!

Why are you responding to me? And clearly it went over your head.

Bryce Young is a shrimp.

Houston will have nearly the same HS stats (better rushing) and didn't play any as a HS freshman.

I hope the great Amp Hill doesn't have a problem with Pop wearing that number.

He is a legit smart kid with a really quality father that has helped him to where he is today.
Sounds like he has always wanted to be a Tiger.

I want a 105 of those guys on the team.

I don’t get excited about QBs coming to LSU out of high school anymore. We’ve had more success with QBs out of the transfer portal. Even Matt Mauck was an ex baseball player. The only decent QB from the state that had success at LSU was Jordan Jefferson and he shared a good bit of snaps with Jarret Lee. If you ask me I don’t’ think the kid takes one meaningful snap from under center. Thats just me though.. I hope I’m wrong.

I don't really give much thought to Pop. I mean, if he can ball, then he'll ball. If not, then Kiffin will go get a guy who can.

Honestly, I'll be shocked if Kiffin doesn't bring in another transfer QB next off season - or when Leavitt leaves.

Are you stupid or something? I made fun of him so clearly I didn't agree with him. And your "Jayden is 6'-4"" comment was also dumb because he wasn't even talking about Jayden's height, he was talking about Pop's height and referencing the #5 thing that's all over the news and social media regarding Jayden Daniels and his mom sending LSU a cease-and-desist letter and not using the number 5. He was trying to make a joke which obviously went over your head you idiot. Jeez you are really slow. Maybe you should sit the next few plays out and go buy a helmet to wear around the house so you don't hurt yourself you fricking retard.

What the data shows is it's extremely unlikely he would ever be a 1st rounder


I'm cool with that. 3rd rounder Russell Wilson at 5 feet 10 and 5/8 inches turned out pretty well. Add on, there were some PFF scouts a few months ago saying some NFL teams whispered that (another Wilson-like shawty) Chambliss (stupidly) might not have been looked at in the first round either had he not gotten that injunction.

Seen him play , athletic for sure but I am on the fence . Hope he does well just don’t need any more superegos , but at moment he seems humble but so did someone else. Hope he just remembers it’s a privilege to play for LSU and not the other way around.
