Maybe not but Pickett has a chance to be regarded in that group since he committed to LSU from the start.


And also in Delanes defense, I know Sting committed to LSU but we really only got one good year out of him as well. Granted it was a historic year for him, especially being a freshman but still really only one year.

Love Delane, but that VT logo needs to be next to his name as well. Let's not act like LSU made that dude.

You’re getting old. It happens. It’s the same reason some of the boomers think Billy Cannon was the best player LSU has ever had…

100%. Incredibly happy for him but can't put him alongside those that did it for 3-4 years at LSU

Also, I know I'm on the minority here but was Stingley really that great? Never thought he was near Webster, Pat, TM7, Claiborne, Tre White, Delpit and others

Maybe but there are 2 issues that keep him from being thought of in the same light as those guys. And it is not a knock against him, he is GREAT, but it is reality.

1. He is a transfer and only played 1 year

2. The other guys played on truly great LSU teams. PP is the only one on that list that did not play in a national title game.

Fair or not, thats why those guys will more likely be remembered more than Delane.
