Lashley is a big time project but the guy is a really good athlete. Big men who can move are a premium and he can move.

Agreed 100%

He wasn't particularly effective when he played.

His highlight film is quite more than not particularly effective.

will sign with MSU unless they pull his scholly.

True.

Never heard of such things. Where did you get that from?

From your someone on your own Whackadoodle Board that seems to be close to the WP program:

"Kid has tons of potential and has an opportunity to be very good because of his size and natural skill. But because I've seen our fan base expect too much too soon I will try to temper expectations. He didn't practice at all this spring and is having surgery shortly. He's only started 8 high school games in his life. He has battled injury his entire football life. He has a world I potential and I'd rather have him than not but he is somewhat of a project and will need to develop."

quote:

---

Where did I give him any accolades?

---

Your quote was something to the tune of ".....could EASILY be the best OL Mississippi has produced.....". Being a big MS HS football fan I can see a WP OL being great at run blocking. However, pass protection will not be a forte and will have to be developed which is more difficult to do. Not saying he can't but I'd be more willing to hand that accolade out to a kid coming out of a HS program like Brandon, Petal, OG, MC, OB and even Meridian because they have much more balanced attacks and consistently see better competition.

Add in the fact that he does supposedly have an injury issue (see above) I'd say something to the tunes of "glad we got him, he has tremendous potential but may take some time to develop"

I would advise caution to take anything they say seriously, especially when they claim to be close to anything. Hell, you all already know this. Why you chose now to believe something one of them say is because it is what you want to hear. Again, I'm not trying to be argumentative, and there are definitely people that know more about the situation than me, but I have already said you would see the same type of comments on our board about an OL that we knew was headed to OM.

Exactly. Could be. He is very athletic, and a kid that can move like that is a lot easier to teach than someone that just run blocks. People here saw the highlights of him being a TE or the comments about his film being "fishy" would have never been said.

Absolutely.

West Point sees plenty of good competition.

He may. That's why I said could. Again, I'm not trying to be argumentative or hostile, the whole "his film is fishy and a sham", is just ridiculous.

He did type could.

Stop judging us and go make your fatfrick O-linemen lose some weight, coach.

GFTO of her with this "aw shucks, I was just saying there's a chance" crap when you threw in the word "easily" earlier. That implies that the chance is more probable than not, and he will be significantly better than guys like Taylor and Patterson.

---

I'm not, and did not say, "I was just saying there is a chance". I did say easily. It is more probable than not, IMO.

Lashley isn't Tunsil, and let's not kid ourselves here, neither is Taylor or Patterson. That's not taking away anything from the three of them. Most OL do not come in and start at LT as a true freshman.

It's fallacious.

It's purely subjective at this point, and that is the only 100% fact being discussed.

I just thought I would point out how you're being a turkey. A Grade-A Jivesass Turkey.

Naw, baw. Jive is acting like Lashley's film is a sham or fishy just to throw shade on a pretty good OL, because whoever said it knows he's going to State.

Up vote LoL

'Course could not is always possible...

I chose to take into account what the "Board Who Shall Remain Nameless" poster said because he had a posting history and it was on that particular sight. Usually you only get true whackadoodles who only blow the trannie lover and sunshine. This guy had other posts that made it rather apparent he has closely followed the program. Hell, if you want to know about certain programs MC, Meridian, OG etc...talk to one of there solid boosters or officials throughout the State. I can pick up the phone and get a shite-ton of them on the line at any time. I even have HUDL access to most the powerhouse programs in the State because of the relationships I have built with boosters. So if a booster is saying pump the brakes on one of their HS athletes that is going to their preferred SEC school on a Whackadoodle board you just may want to give it some careful consideration.

As for Patterson as compared to Lashley....there isn't much of a comparison. One basically started freshman year on at a balanced powerhouse 6A program. The other has played 8 games for a 5A team that may pass 1 time a half. I personally have seen Patterson play numerous times and if I was going to bet a paycheck on which one is more SEC ready his freshman year it is Patterson hands down.
