re: USC class crumbling will be helping someone
Posted by Milesthebest1 on 11/30/12 at 5:21 pm to oldschoolgreats
Yeah, and ironically, LSU could gain more from the USC fiasco (Daddy Kiffen resigning, poor season, horrible defense, inflationgate, etc) than the Auburn mess. The reason of course is that LSU has been in on at least 3 big time players either committed to USC or heavily considering them with already stated mutual interest....Vanderdoes, Priest, Goodman.
At Auburn, the only 2 I'm aware of are Jeremy Johnson who seems a lot more interested in LSU right now than LSU would be in him (dual threat QB, got one already committed who is better in Jennings) and Rueben Foster who is a late interest and probably ends up at Georgia.

Grades is being stated and my guess is he does have grade issues, but the really early verbals are usually in a precarious position, especially those located in the state of the university they commit to. Just my opinion obviously, but I have always believed part of the offer THAT EARLY is to win a few points from the home state HS coaches, to act as an insurance policy at a position of need, etc. IF LSU doesn't try to find someone better as the very long process goes on, they would be the ONLY university who doesn't try to upgrade towards NSD.
And to be fair, the recruit gains also...he gets a big time offer in this case which can only help him find another one if indeed they part ways.

Already 2 touted recruits decommitted from USC....funny how making history the bad way can affect a class (first team since Iowa in 1961 who started the season #1 and finishes outside the top 25). Some sites still have Vanderdoes as "Low Interest" for LSU although I would guess if he jumps ship it would be for Eugene. But hard to believe with Daddy Kiffin resigning as a TOTAL FAILURE as DC for USC that Priest and Goodman are going to be diving into that mess right now. And if anyone EVER thought that Lanie was a good coach (hard to imagine), his years at Oakland, Tenn, and USC now should have ended that delusion.
Anyway, my point is that the odds for LSU getting Priest and/or Goodman have risen IMO...Vanderdoes also but by a much smaller level. Keep up the good work, Lanie...take some more air out of the footballs like you had your equipment manager do this year (BTW, NO ONE believes he did on his own). After all, you have taken the air out of the football program certainly.

Chuck Baker committed so early that I didn't see a list of schools that MIGHT have been interested in him. I see the guy as a mid-level program guy (within LA, La Tech might be a good option for example...I wouldn't wish Toolame on anyone!) :lol: . I also mentioned he looked pretty physical in his highlights...not just tall but catching balls in traffic and hard to bring down and looks like he could block, i.e tough receiver. I could see this guy as a special teams demon if I'm right on that aspect.
But having seen highlights on both him and Falkins, I simply didn't see either of them getting open against SEC corners/coverages to catch the balls (not fast or quick enough to do so). If I was wrong on that, I think both could be relied upon to CATCH the ball. JMHO

Almost a complete 180 on this board now regarding Baker. I questioned his ability because it was obvious and also got hate mail from 99% of the jokes on this board.
Hopefully this is a reminder that there needs to be objective criticism over circle jerking.
I'm sure you did...unfortunately, I hit the perfect storm. Another LSU commit who shall remain nameless apparently had an interview and pointed to this forum specifically and sounded like he had heard about my individual post and acted like anyone who said Chuck Baker wasn't a great player was not an LSU fan. Wow!!!
The funniest response I saw to his statement was by someone else here who said, "I hope recruits grow thicker skins because when the pressure of going up against SEC opponents occur, this is going to seem mild by comparison."

Just because a guy "whiffs" doesn't mean he didn't do his job on a block. IF you force the defender to move out of the path of the runner or within reach of the runner in order not to get blocked, doesn't matter if the blocker misses the player or not...mission accomplished.

I agree with your 3* statement on Baker and I would rate Falkins (Alabama commit but good luck on being able to sign with them) exactly the same. To be very specific, using Rivals scale, I would put them at 5.6, not even a 5.7 (bordering a 4*)

Seems like the staff moved on, apparently they didnt get the right feeling after he attended every home game this season. A lot of you are getting your hopes up a little too much for the remaining slots IMO
Yeah, I agree. It is usually a good sign to have kids make multiple games but Williams overplayed it a bit. If you come to almost every single home game, and you keep other teams ahead of LSU when asked, that sounds like he just wanted something to do. Quite frankly, I like Patterson better than Williams anyway from their highlights. Get Beckwith, Gardner if he qualifies, either Burns or Priest, and maybe a surprise like Bain or Foster or the Auburn DE from NJ if he decommits, and LSU would have done a heck of a job. LSU can't go up to 29 I don't think...NOT because of the 25 limit and backdating but because LSU would be over 85 unless several players over and above the NFL early draft entrants leave the team.
re: Are we officially back in on Artie Burns?
Posted by Milesthebest1 on 11/29/12 at 9:45 pm to LSUTil_iDie
He had an official visit a couple of weeks ago. The numbers look a lot better now that Swanson and Baker are gone. IMO, LSU needs another secondary guy in this class, so either Burns or Priest would be the one to get if possible.

Baker should have never been offered but he must have had a really good camp to warrant an early offer Bama will get rid of Falkins next
Yeah, I criticized the Baker offer also after looking at his video. The two most overrated LA kids IMO are Baker and Falkins, some of the services having them rated 4*. Neither looks like they would ever start an SEC game to me in their entire career...not fast enough and not quick either.
