Youve basically said it in every way imaginable that he's not an elite RB.

You call him an athlete, not a RB.

You compare him to a WR, not any RB.

You say he should play WR over RB, better WR probably.

You repeatedly have said he's not the best RB in the state.


This is you right now talking in circles about this because you just like to argue.

You are talking your own self into circles

just went from saying I said he can’t play RB, to now saying I don’t think he’s an elite RB. You can’t even make up your mind

Can you find yourself ever even talking himself as a RB? Everything I find is you talking about him as a receiver, or athlete. It's literally like you refuse to acknowledge he plays RB and does it at a very high level.

Again, you take just about every chance to pin him as anything but a RB

Again, this is you talking around in circles

Used to live there as well. There’s a reason it dawns the name “ratchet city”

Go to 10:40 in this clip & hear both Roser & Spiegs mention it

But yes, I’m just a contrarian I guess.

"Looking like a high level receiver as a RB at his HS."

You interpret that as he would be better suited as a WR? They did not say he should be a WR. They complimented his receiving ability as a RB. Maybe he's just talented enough that he could play both.

On the other end of Roser’s rambling, Speigs questions whether or not he should be designated as an ATH due to how he performed at WR.

Not so sure. Our priority Rb is Berry. Makes sense he feels like second fiddle to him since that’s where our staff’s primary attention was.

I think Texas is a good fit for him and wish him luck!


I mean berry committed first. Frank wilson made both of them a priority. He rolled out the red carpet for him to commit.

Texas isn't just going to take one back. Those days are over.

Does anyone know the real story with Simon and not some bs? Maybe he wanted to go out of state but he seemed to be all lsu a couple months ago.

What's the deal with Sheppard and lsu?

Is he waiting to camp?

Sheppard intrigues me. I think he should be in the mix with Lindsey.

I mean, you do know that is possible while being completely upfront/sincere with intentions and not doing things in a way that might frick someone else over, right? The 2 don't have to be mutually exclusive

Idk chalky, thry giving him a cold shoulder. In a year with a collection of smaller in-state guys, I think he’s the best of the group

I’m not talking about fricking someone over.

Recruiting and playing are two different things. You recruit the best, but you also play the best. Once they are on campus, whatever they were told to get them on campus means nothing.

I will definitely defer to you on that. You’re a lot more well versed on that than I am. Was really just going by my perception on our returning guys vs UT’s guys I haven’t heard of. Berry and the kid from Duncanville are pretty big commits that I think played a part in his perceived playing time. Thanks for your insight.

Lol neither of those guys are talent evaluators or work for On3 or 247
Spiegs just got fired form On3

He was so wrong on literally every guy from Texas that LSU was on last year it was laughable. Billy ran circles around him

have nothing against Harris. I do wonder if he's negative recruiting LSU because he had a bad experience here when the truth is he sucked here and sucked even worse at UNC.


BH was talented but he was a sold a bad deal by Lester. He was a square peg in a round hole for the Big 10 offense LM wanted to run. He played in Shotgun in HS and Les had him under Center majority of his snaps. It hindered his development and set him up to fail. When he got to UNC, he was behind and couldn't recover. He would’ve been better off going to Ohio St but he took the state pride route and trusted in Les.

Yea Billy played DI football and as much as I don't like his personality he's right a lot more than wrong on how a prospect projects
Charles Powers and the other guy from On3 are good
Petagna and Ivins on 247 are decent
Gabe from 247 sucks
