re: Russell Shepard will be a junior next year.

I wouldn't have even brought this topic up if it weren't for watching this again....

Shep absolutely wanted to be the starting QB of the LSU football team

when he saw he wasn't going to get a chance to show what he could do in a game, and was on the bench for the 2009 florida game, he asked miles if he could do anything to get the ball in his hands.

which is where we are now.

yep,

ive said it a million times, the kids cousin lives down the street from me and Shep was pissed that he didnt get his chance, yes he knows his future in the NFL would be at WR but you can make that swith when you get there...bottom line is he wants the ball more and they are not giving it to him...yes he has dropped some balls, who hasnt...but they always throw terrible balls to him...not all his fault

Did Shep take a single snap this year at Wildcat QB? Didn't he average around 7 ypc last year from that position? Crowton...truly a genius.

First off, RS IS NOT a WR.

RS is most definitely a WR and will be a dame good one next year and when he makes the jump to the NFL. Asking him to do so much as a freshman took away from his development at WR. He was much improved this year at the position and put a ton of time in to be where he's at having only played WR for essentially 1 season. The dude is a natural athlete and will excel. His routes need work but he's a guy who will put in the work and when the light comes on he'll be a game changer ala Reggie bush/desean Jackson. You'll have no choice but to double him and he'll soften defenses and affect every aspect of the offense. Oh yeah...we also need someone who can get him the ball and preferably in space.
