It's not that we don't understand their list, it's that that's a shitty way to list them.

Rivals is so terrible. My list would be:

1. Fournette '14
2. Cam Robinson '14
3. Perrilloux '05
4. McKnight '07
5. La'el '11
6. Doucet '04
7. Randle '09
8. Speedy '14
9. Landon Collins '12
10. Freak Johnson '11

Chad Jones, Jarvis Landry, Tre White, Dupre, Dorsey, and Mike Ford are some others that come to mind.

Ok and? The NFL draft isn't always good at identifying God-given talent. What's your point?

Not really. It's not a list in hindsight. It's a list made to show where they were right/wrong.

The fact that y'all get so bent out of shape about a stupid list proves that y'all are ready for football season to finally start

I think this is on the wrong board.

What about Kevin Faulk?

Didn't LSU turn it around after we signed him?

Wasn't he a #1 or 2 coming out of Carencro?

I don't care where they were ranked. Honey badger was the top recruit/player to come out of Louisiana since peyton manning

When exactly does this era start? Whitworth and Cam should be on there.

(Chad) "Jones was a huge safety out of high school, a rarity in 2007, but was never a huge hitter."
This renders the remainder of the article worthless.

Very interesting list. Looking at all the states, not just LA's list, it's amazing to see how many of these prospects haven't panned out for one reason or another.
every single player on LA's list has either panned out, or is currently playing. There is not a miss on there

If Rivals wants my respect, they need to do a TOP TEN of players they MISSED ON instead of what THEY say is the top TEN prospects of all time... This just comes across as desperation for people like us to read their cheesy article.

McKnight had a 5 year career in the nfl. He may not have lived up to the hype, but he still panned out ok

5 years? He played 5 seasons? No he didn't pan out because of injury.

He didn't have a five year career in the NFL.

Just saying...

The best player to come out of Louisiana in the past ten years was Greg Robinson, the no. 2 pick in the draft.

When talking about Dylan Moses..

LSU still has a great chance here, but many feel Alabama could be the team to beat.


I know it's bullshite, but just the thought of this is gut wrenching.
