In surprising recruiting news

[Uncle Ruckus]

Stanislaus QB committed to LSU today. I've seen him play several times and he's a damn good qb but I'm really surprised that LSU offered him. Will be anxious to see how he pans out there. Cal was on him real hard and I'd been told that he was likely to end up there.

[Uncle Ruckus]

I concur.

 

[Predestined]

He will skull drug the Bears

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

They should. He an EE and is 99.999999% bulldog. He's openly recruiting for us and loves MSU. Can't ever say 100%. Thanks, CJ Johnson.

I'll tell you one thing, his coach looks vindicated in calling out OM for not offering.

Les Miles offered him a scholarship and told him to go home and think about it. He committed on the spot.

How so?

I saw a whole lot of people suggesting he wasn't "SEC good" and his coach was negatively impacting his recruitment, etc... Now he is committed to a higher profile program than OM if we're going by national perception. By that same perception, the coach went to bat for a kid vs the instate school on the way to a national power commitment. He looks more right today than he was weeks ago. Vindicated. Hypothetically, if Brennan never would have gotten an OM offer and ended up at say Cal or Louisville, the coach's rant would have looked like unwarranted grandstanding.

While I do understand your point, I don't think I necessarily agree that the coach is somehow "in the right" now. I never understood what Ole Miss did wrong in the entire situation. If our coaches didn't evaluate his skill set high enough to offer him a scholarship, isn't that just their choice? I'm not saying the kid isn't a good qb and maybe he does turn out to be one that we regret not offering. However, we can't just offer every MS kid that wants to go to Ole Miss either. Truth is that he will continue to battle the "system QB" stigma, whether that is true or not. The ironic thing is that he probably fits the Ole Miss offense a whole lot more than he does the LSU offense.

Also and while I do agree that LSU is definitely a higher profile program that Ole Miss, I think it is quite obvious that our QB play in the Freeze era (and for that matter, MSU with Dak and perhaps some of your young QBs) is light years better than anything LSU and Les have put out on the field. Just because it says LSU on their jersey doesn't mean they are the greatest and smartest team in the SEC.

 

[FreeDawg]

Agree with a lot of that. I more speaking to perception. Never said he was "in the right", just he seems more right, right now.

 

[os62]

Gotcha. That's fair.
