Damn

You really think recruiting websites are the Bible, huh. That is kinda hilarious

I’m not even going to bring up their offer lists, because I enjoy drawing my own conclusions independently of recruiting sites, offer lists, and whether they are LSU commitments or not. But one could easily view their offer list & understand how they are viewed in the eyes of college coaches.

I do remember now your tangent you went off on because Simon was "bigger" than Berry and Lindsey despite all 3 of them being within less than 15 pounds of each other



1 I’m not sure you know what a tangent is, or means.

2. Size matters. It dictates your playing style. You want the alluring HS speed back, then want to project and add 25lbs to him, and expect him to be the same guy is just kinda ignorant.

I see James Simon being able to win in multiple ways. Lindsey just looks like the best athlete playing RB. You think that means he has upside, but when he gets to college, the whole field is full of JT Lindsey’s. Show me & tell me how he wins in the SEC. He’s fine. He’s a take. He’s just not Simon

Do you think Simon is better than Berry?


At RB? Yes, I prefer Simon as a runner.

Berry is a 5 star athlete, though. A kid with his athletic profile should be a WR or CB.

Lindsey also would be better suited at another position I think. Safety or LB. I don’t love high waisted RBs like him, typically.

Berry is kinda boring as a runner. Especially against the terrible competition he plays against. Leaves me wanting more.

His athletic profile is beautiful, though.

Lester I thought you liked the Mandeville kid as being the best back in the state.

Meh we will always be good at RB. Let them have the 4 stars and we will collect the 5 stars

Respectfully,

Lester your recruiting evals suck.


And I have data to back it up. Like it’s cool to play contrarian but come on man. You literally said Odell Beckham wasn’t shite. And numerous other 1st rounders over the years, your track record is hot shite when it comes to this.

I also think Simon is the best pureback in LA this year.
I just don’t think running back is that big of a position anymore. So it’s not really a big loss imo.

He knew he was a priority here and chose another.

Well I think Berry is the most athletic running back from LA since Joe McKnight…..but what’s that mean.

More than 1/2 the names on the west side of Tiger Stadium arches as well as the Tiger Cage name are Shreveport area people. NW LA is die hard Tiger Country ! Lived here my whole life and I don’t know 1 Longhorn fan. Do know a few Aggies that moved here.

Hope mom keeps a supply of 5 Hour Energy on hand for his drives back and forth from Austin. Can’t forget the Book ‘Raising Cole’ and the tragedy of Cole Pittman making that trip.

It's amazing how self-confident you are, no matter how many times you are presented with evidence to the contrary.

You mean he's doing his job?!?!?

If you're tired of Brandon stealing recruits then CBK needs to add him to the staff
