2018 Recruiting Board/Thread

You say defense plays lights out as if the offense is not.
I am laughing.  I wont even bother to respond to this.  You are better than that.

We haven't had a good defense in the 2000s, IMO.
Yea we sucked so bad we were top 20 in 2013 in total defense.  Carry on.

You act as if Malik is going to be inspired by me or you.  Mike has already said Malik is gone according to a close source.  You act like I want him to leave, which is f##king ridiculous.  You act like Cook doesnt care if we lose when he has ALREADY said it will depend on how we play.  Does that mean close losses are ok?  I hope so.  You dont know and neither do I but you have your opinions and I have mine.  You act like none of us should be affected by this poor offense.  Its all rainbows and cotton candy.   ^_^

I will add this to your point though.  You may be right and the biggest evidence if we sit here after 3 losing seasons and have #2 class in the nation.  You may be right and I hope you are.  I want every recruit and every guy back next year....well except Tristan

BTW wasnt it you that ranted over the Noah Cain remarks?  I cant remember.  So I guess our lack of blocking doesnt affect him either but then it apparently did according to his interview.

1. I will carry on. You have to sometimes when someone doesn't get the point. So they must be beaten with the point.

A. We expected to beat BYU. We gave up 40, lost, and made their QB All-World in the process. We couldn't stop a cold.

B. Got beaten like we'd stole something by Ole Miss, where we gave up 44 at home to a crowd who were convinced we couldn't stop a cold.

C. Gave up 30 to Iowa State (beat them by 1). That was before it was cool to be Iowa State.

D. Gave up another 40 to West Virginia (notice how we're working down the schedule here? So there are no freak games)

E. Gave up 38 to OSU in another humiliating loss at home.

F. Finished the season by stinking up the place giving up 30 to both Baylor and Oregon in losses.

So, lets just say "Top 20" doesn't mean what you think it means.

2. No, I don't act like Malik is inspired by me or you. By contrast, I have been trying to convince you that he doesn't think the same things you do. I even pointed out the flaw in your thinking. And each time I end by saying he goes because he's the best there is.

How you get to me "wishing him to the NFL" is beyond me. You worked hard to get there. Take a well deserved rest.

What you've been attempting to suggest, again and again, which is what I am rejecting (to be clear) when I say he goes because he's the best, not because his feelings are somehow hurt by an offense undergoing major injury issues.

3. By contrast, I CONFIRM what Cook has said about wanting to see us play well. Do you honestly think that ONLY applies to Texas? Is that where you're going? Otherwise, my point is – LSU isn't smelling so sweet herself and actually, has probably stunk worse than Texas this year. Does anyone in their right mind want to play in that offense? That's not an injury issue – thats a "we suck at scheme and play calling, forever" issue. Outside of Fortanueu or whatever his name was (which was basically turn, hand the ball off, hope he scores), what offense has LSU ever had?

And why are we discussing offense when we're talking about Cook? Lets face it – we have to be because our defense is, as you say, playing "lights out." If that is true – then why aren't you harping about it being a done deal to Texas?

LSU's defense got punked by Troy, at home, favored by 20+

 
I read on a Facebook thread by a poster(Charlie Williams) that Warrens is transferring and so is a LB and 3 DL. Says the players hate Herman.

Ok troll.  

Yea our defense was good in Charlies first year.  Our defense was ranked #25 in FBS. 

I guess you are right top 20 to me is top 25 but carry on beating me with me candy cane and sunshine.

Our offense was #100

 You have trouble keeping up apparently.  Maybe you should go back read the posts. 

recruits dont care about how well we are playing.  So I guess your rant about Noah Cain was needless

Not doubting your info here, but who would want him? He's not exactly inspired with his play and maybe some of that has to do with the OL, but not all of it. I haven't seen the player I saw last year at all and we're looking at our last couple of games now.

The LB, I have heard for some time, is Cam Townsend.

Daniels (whom Herman called fat) is the only one I've heard anything about with regard to sour grapes with Herman. 

Graham is playing as a true Frosh, can't imagine he's too upset about that. Fitz is totally Texas regardless of whats going on and is redshirting. Cummins is shirting and is just happy to be here.

That leaves you with Omenihu, Chisom (a jc transfer), Chris Nelson, Wilbon, Christmas, and Nelson.

Unless you're counting Imade, who is listed as DL but has been playing OL the last two weeks.

A pity party is not a retort. Right after I tell you that top 20 doesn't mean much when you back it up with the laundry list of disappointment, scattered through the entire season, what do you do? You throw out an even lower national ranking. smh

The only complaint you could possibly have is to do with the offense. Yet, your negative Cook goes elsewhere commentary is based on defensive performance? And our competition has an offense that even a Texas fan can't admire? LOL. At least Texas has hope by returning full strength OL. LSU still has the same scheme and coaches.

No, DMAC, it wasn't needless. Unlike you apparently, I have no expectation of any player, recruit or whatever reading or caring anything about what I might have to say. And I probably don't care what they have to say, either.

Yet, I post my opinion anyway, just about anytime I care to – with no expectation ever of having any type of effect on this team in any way, shape or form. This is a message board, nothing more.

Can I be more clear here?

 
Sha,

it was a post on Facebook that started off quoting Orangebloods. The quote was about Beck keeping the title in name only this year. Then there was over 140 comments on the post. One was about the transfers. Was hoping someone on here could shed some light. Thanks for the info you have given. 

 
I am merely looking at the timeline

2 weeks the article came out that Cook was ours.  Apparently you posted the info on this board and linked some ag article.

He visits LSU, they beat #10 Auburn.  Makes a couple of quotes about how he cant wait to get up to LSU and LSU is the new DBU.

He postpones his announcement.  Coincidence, maybe.

Put me on ignore so I dont disrupt your sunshine party.  I dont give a shit.

 
We do this after every loss.  We complain, talk about players leaving, not buying in or whatever.  We all knew Texas would lose this game and most people predicted anywhere from 3 to 10 points for the Horns and that's exactly what happened.  I stand by my prediction the Horns were going to win 4 of their last 5 and so far they're 1-1.  They will win their final 3 and finish 7-5.  At that point we will all be very satisfied and waiting for the bowl game.

24-7 isnt a 3-10 point loss but atleast it was 48-10 like the last 3 years.

Im done we have derailed the recruiting thread enough.

I hope we land Cook we shall see.

Speculating about transfers isn’t good for anyone. Especially on fan threads with people trying to be program insiders.

He’s legit torn between his options right now. When I mentioned the possibility of a push back it’s because we had heard he it was likely to happen.

"The players hate Herman" is the stupidest thing I've read in at least a week. That's not hyperbole. A few players probably hate him, maybe even more than they hate standing on the sideline watching better players play.

No problem, and I will ask my friends what they've heard. 

 
I'm not DMAC, but I happen to agree with him on this.

What you said is true. But given what kind of OL that is – Sam plays QB better behind that line than Buechele does. 

Sure you can evaluate that QB. Same as we evaluated Colt when he spent his years running for his life and creating something out of nothing.

I don't think there's room to "blame" a QB. They are what they are. The coach who plays this is who would be blamed. But, maybe Sam wasn't completely ready yesterday and thus, wasn't put into the game. Not sure and they haven't said.
Herman did say in his presser after the game..... Sam had a set back because ear aches which effected his balance etc so couldn’t go....
