And we will likely lose to at least two of the three, because their talent is better across the board then ours.

That doesn't mean you don't take a kid like this if you believe you can develop them into a contributor or starter.

Exactly.

 

[KB5252]

They just had 13 players drafted. A big drop off was inevitable this year.

Sure, and sometimes they also get complacent.

 

[Ryno14]

That same coaching staff is pooping the bed this year though.

Not the same coaching staff at all. They lost their offensive mind in Joe Brady and their DC in Dave Aranda

 

[ricepatty]

You have the percentages of those who developed into stars...HOF inductees?

No, only those who get drafted because it's more or less based off of their numbers in college. You can have guys like Arian Foster who go undrafted and have tremendous development during his NFL career but it doesn't change how he performed in his college career.....which is what I care more about.

I wasn't aware, thank you.

The kid's a good pickup and will start getting more offers. Other SEC programs will take a good look at him now that he's committed to Tennessee. This staff has been really good at evaluating recruits. Without camps this year, you can't put as much weight into the rankings.

Welcome young man.

That is true. More players will be misevaluated by recruiting services this year than normal. Good thing Pruitt has an elite eye for finding talent!

After the Mims letdown, this feels like the recruiting version of "Is Pepsi okay?"

lol

 

[Ron Swanson]

I like the new SGMVols.

 

[Jwbvol]

Not saying this guy will not be a good player for us, but: What Blue Chip Ratio can teach us about the college football national championship picture

"The formula is simple: sign more 4-5 stars than 2-3 stars, and you have a roster capable of taking down the trophy. The threshold is 50% or higher. And it’s been 100% effective in eliminating the wheat from the chaff for every national champion since 2005."

 

[thunder5]

I like the new SGMVols.

Agree...this is how he was when Kiffin was here

 

[TheGuy]

I like the kid to be fair. I think he has a similar skill set as Jimmy Calloway

Yeah...and people flipped about him too...until he ended up a 4* on all the sites that is

 

[Volsdeep4]

*and a once in a generation QB

I mean Joe Burrow was a superstar, but to the point, Joe Brady came in and coached him into what he did that year. 2018 stats are JG numbers. The difference a coach can do is amazing.

The difference being on a team full of NFL players helps more.

That same coaching staff is pooping the bed this year though.

Not exactly the same staff. Joe Brady no longer there, and he was basically the sole reason the offense scored points like it did. Plus their DC left for Baylor and Bo Pelini is AWFUL

 

[butchna]

So what position is he projected to play for us?

Star or safety.

lol....that's pretty good.......

 

[MarcoVol]

That same coaching staff is pooping the bed this year though.

Not the same staff plus they lost 30+ players off their team from last season. Plus Ja’Marr Chase opted out.

LSU loses 30-plus players from National Championship roster

 

[butchna]

Florida, Georgia, and Alabama all currently start a 3 star QB.

Including that 2017 Bama class that “had no 3 stars”.

 

[vettefool]

CB to us!!!!

Another gem baby!!! Thanks bagmen!!!

Dogs get Mims, we get this guy. Seems like a deal to me. Good grief.

Jamarcus Russell do something for you?

 

[reVOLution33]

LSUs starting offense last year

QB Joe Burrow - 4 star (rivals 3 star)
RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire - 3 star
RB2 Tyrion Davis-Price - 4 star
WR Justin Jefferson - 2 star
WR Jamarr Chase - 4 star
WR Terrace Marshall - 5 star
TE Thaddeus Moss - 3 star
LT Saahdiiq Charles - 4 star
LG Adrian McGee - 3 star
C Lloyd Cushenberry - 3 star
RG Damien Lewis - 3 star
RT Austin Deculus - 4 star

I don’t think I need to remind you what this offense did last year

Talent is important but nowhere near as much as coaching

And we have 4 and 5* that play like 2*.... coaching.
