Four-Star QB Lowell Narcisse Commits To LSU

I don't think a freshman will start next year. Too much of a learning curve from HS to College ball. However, if anyone can beat out Etling, this just makes us that much stronger. Although I don't see that happening. Canada should make the difference, regardless of the QB.

Harris was #2 on ESPN, #3 on 247. Narcisse & Harris had almost identical stats. Narcisse played as a FR & Soph & had 58 Passing TDs, 26 Rushing TDs and ~8,000 yds of total Offense. Harris as a Jr and Sr had 60 TDs Passing, 27 TDs Rushing, and ~8,000 yds of Total Offense. Starting only 1 ill-fated game under center, Harris still finished the 2014 season with a 175 Passer rating, highest in the SEC and 2nd highest in the nation behind Mariotta and Watson for QBs with more than 25 attempts. Prior to AUB, from the spread, he led scoring drives on 13 of 18 possessions and had 6 TDs passing, 3 rushing, in less than 60 minutes of Playing Time for 3X higher Scoring Efficiency than Oregon & Mariotta. DTQBs think faster, throw better on the run, and are strong runners. Teams with DTQBs used in the shotgun, with 4 WRs spreading the field, open the entire field for the Running & Passing game by forcing 1 on 1 coverage and leaving a 12th Gap uncovered: Hurts at ALA, Watson, at CLEM, Ward at Houston. Spread, Tempo, HUNH, & the RPO threat spreads the Defense, does not let them rest or sub, and puts them at a numbers disadvantage. Remembering that Landry & Beckham said "we could not protect Mett and keep him off the ground", Pocket Passers require a phenomenal pass blocking OL, something only ALA has in the SEC. In the last 5 yrs, of the 47 1st Round Draft Picks from the SEC, the only QB was Manziel. A running back by committee team like LSU does not excel at Pass Blocking and when it comes to ALA add in run blocking too. There are no Multiple Offenses in FBS and only a couple in the NFL. You have to keep it simple enough that FR QBs like Hurts, Manziel, Winston, Tebow, Newton, and even 3rd string Cardale Jones can win Heismans & NCs.

You can never have too many options at qb. Injuries, poor play, off field issues etc. So come on Lowell and compete. I think once Canada works with Etling he will take him to the next level and he's your starter next season. Senior leadership is invaluable, and he looks like he could perform very well with Canada calling the plays. Having Brennan, Narcisse,Scott and McMillan is a good option to have for a change!

Auburn politely informed him that his services were not needed any longer

Where did Brandon Harris rank on ESPN Recruiting?

Auburn must have informed him that they aren't interested. Nice pickup either way. I still think that Brennan will have better success in Canada's scheme. Not a race thing. I'm black. I just want the best players on the field. IMO, that is Brennan. Brennan has a little mobility as well. He isn't as mobile as Narcisse, but his passing ability is light-years beyond Narcisse. Just my opinion though. We'll see soon enough who Canada fields.

congrats LSU ....nice pickup

I hope this doesn't mean we lose Brennan.

LINK As FR & Soph he had 58 Passing TDs, 26 Rushing TDs and ~8,000 yds of total Offense.

Feels good man

Oh man...more bad news for the hate Coach O crowd. Indeed, they want him to fail so bad, they can taste it.

O is redeeming himself in the eyes of his doubters

CEO has lost control of the program. How did this happen? I read over and over how CEO had blown this recruitment?

Nice.

WOW!!!

Thank you sir... may your days be blessed
