You'll miss his leadership more than anything. The athletes are there. Maybe play Seth Fruge early in the year to have an emotional field leader that's been around while the young guys adjust.

By game 7 or 8 freshman don't play like freshman anymore anyways. I really wish A&M had LSU early in the year

Why do people keep saying LSU will be young on D? Unless some underclassmen beat out the Upper, LSU looks like this as of the spring.

DE Jordon Allen Jr
Jamauria Rasco Jr
LT Anthony Johnson Jr
RT Ego Furguson Jr
SLB Tahj Jones Sr
MLB DJ Welter Jr
OLB Lamin Barrow Sr
CB Jalen Collins So
Jalen Mills So
S Ronald Martin Jr
Craig Loston Sr

The two SO were outstanding as freshmen and they are the youngest starters we have. I am not saying we won't take a step back from last year but clearly we are not breaking in a bunch of freshmen. LSU is stacked and even the back ups have a ton of experience. Keep wishing LSU won't be right back in the mix.

:lol:

I'm shocked LSU fans are the ones replying, obviously they've beat some serious teams and deserve all the accolades..

No one is out there putting LSU on this rediculousy high, unproven pedistal. LSU fans aren't making unsupported cliams either(neither are Bama fans). The media should slow down a bit and see what happens. Way premature at this point. Bama hasn't been tested. I know LSU hasn't either. There's really nothing to talk about here except the wasted breath of Mel Kiper.

Lee was a year ahead of JJ.

Tell me again about Miles showing preference to seniority.

JJ didn't get a shot until Lee got hurt against Ole Miss. If you recall JJ actually played pretty good in that second half. He had a descent game against Arkansas the next week and the Georgia Tech game is where he took control of the job, all while Lee was healing. We as LSU fans were actually pretty pumped up after that game for the 2009 season if you recall. Miles bought in and never looked back. At that point, after blowing JJ's redshirt, Lee and JJ were both equal as for as time left at LSU. Upperclassmen had nothing to do with it anymore. Lee had 7 pick 6's vrs JJ leading LSU to a blow win over a very good G Tech team. Miles never trusted Lee again and if not for JJ's retardation before the season started this year Lee still would not have seen much playing time, IMO.

Does Miles allow underclassmen to start over upperclassmen? Yes. But mostly on Defense where he lets Chavis run the show. But on Offense, it's very rare. I can't think of any offensive players that won a permanant starting spot for any other reason than the upperclassmen getting hurt. And almost always the upperclassmen gets their job back, almost. (See JJ for the exception)

Duke has given it's fans National title's, Multiple Final 4's and ACC championships. LSU has given us what? Shaq and the Pistol.

It was Duke vrs UNC. You need look no further than that as do why no one left. But if you need more, the above list is just a fragment of the differences.

I also am not a big fan of Kiel as a prospect and never have been aside from his mental preparation for the game. The analysts either see something I don't or they are really selling bs for a living. He's got talent for sure but he just doesn't impress me and I hate the comp he plays. I'll take him though because of the possibility that he's as good as the analysts say he is and because I like the qbs we already have.

The kid graduates early and qualifies to go to Vandy. The kid is smart and they say though he is not a true dual threat QB he moves in and out the pocket very well which means he will be able to run the option. On top of that he is deadly acurate which means that the short passing game LSU plays will be right up his ally. Maybe he won't pan out, but thats a pretty good start.

Still think we won't get him but it sure is nice being in the running. ND offensive coordinator Charley Molnar was the one recruiting him. With him leaveing for UMass it may be a plus for LSU or Vandy as well.

Just food for thought here but Jarrett Lee was part of the elite 11. That should say plenty. He has served well but clearly he is not anywhere near one of the best QB's in the country.
