re: Instate Recruiting Can Get Jonny Jones to Final Four

Deshaun Thomas and William Buford where both top 25 players. Ohio State had four McDonald's All-Americans (including one that rarely saw the floor,Louisville had three former McDonald's All-Americans on this year's team while Kentucky had 6.

re: Shaq Diesel Doesn't Get How he only has one MVP

Career 53% free throw shooter. His being out there still made him a liability.
The other problem Shaq always had is a lack of contemporaries. By the time he was considered completely dominant (as defined by being first team All-NBA), he was competing against Ben Wallace, an aging David Robinson...

As the designated "dummy" in the discussion, I hope I can try to more clearly articulate my view of the "Lin situation" without embarrassing myself or my family.
It is hard for me to go straight "racism" here regardless of what opinion Magic, Legler, and any other talking heads hold.
And may...

Posted by LSUQ on 2/20/12 at 11:16 am
You'll forgive me if I choose to think for myself and not parrot news coverage. . .in spite of my closed eyes and mind.
It just seems to me the statement "how close this NBA player went to being totally unnoticed" indicates that the system works. Trent plus 300 other scholarship granting institu...
re: Trent Johnson on Jeremy Lin
Posted by LSUQ on 2/20/12 at 10:09 am
I've already given you an example of an undrafted black player that people obviously missed on, Ben Wallace. So whether you think it would happen or not is irrelevant, history shows that it has happened.
Beyond that, what seems to be missing here is that ultimately the system worked. Unrecruite...

Posted by LSUQ on 2/18/12 at 12:19 am
While the list isn't long finding similar situations in basketball isn't hard. Bubba's example of Stephen Curry should not be glossed over. Curry's skill set and early success in college indicate that he warranted higher consideration than three offers.
The list must also include an undersized ...
re: Jeremy Johnson QB
Posted by LSUQ on 2/15/12 at 3:12 pm
I am amazed at how comfortable we have become at saying things like this. Why wouldn't you want to have someone that can do both (run and throw). Threat implies that both must be viable options.
And if you name Brady, Brees, and the Mannings keep in mind that there is a reason we know their nam...

Pump the breaks. . .Why can't we just enjoy watching someone get the payoff from putting the time and effort in? Some people take the long way to the league.
Signed,
Ben Wallace
The fact that both of these guys ended up sticking in the league shows that while the system isn't perfect. . .i...

re: do you want dual-threat or drop back QB?
Posted by LSUQ on 1/12/12 at 5:42 am
Dual threat versus Drop back is a false distinction.
If a player is a [b]true[/b] dual threat then of course you want that. Who says I only want a player that does only one aspect of his position well.
Aaron Rogers is one of the most accurate quarterbacks we have seen in a while. . .but what ...

re: Ryan Clark eventually wants to be the head coach at LSU
Posted by LSUQ on 12/29/11 at 2:31 am
While it is debatable whether coaching LSU is Ryan's ultimate goal. . .
Stating he wants to be the first black coach is not the same as stating he wants to be coach because he is black. . .but not false indignation regarding the completely merit-based system that is college coaching....

Hilarious!!!
A guy like Ryan will have the opportunity to work as a GA when he retires or join an NFL staff. As someone mentioned, he has turned himself into a a consistent performer on one of the most demanding defenses in the league. He gets to sit in meetings with one of the best defensive c...
re: Dodd Power Poll -- "1. LSU: Best. Team. Ever?"
Posted by LSUQ on 11/27/11 at 7:42 pm
I think "most impressive path" is a better debate. We live in an era where we throw out the moniker "best" far too easily and quickly.
Beyond that, I think Tommie Frazier is the forgotten superman of college football. That offense was incredible. . .talk about an offense that says "stop us, y...
