Doesn't exist. I've heard this about Chris Davenport, Fournette, Maason Smith, Freak Johnson, and a bunch of others and the majority don't live up to the hype or dont lead LSU to a NC

Not a popular opinion and mostly because it's true. DL in particular has been a a string of highly ranked busts. The next kid is always the one to break the trend. Meanwhile, we are still waiting.

People just don't understand this. They just want LSU to be Colorado so bad. LSU wants a sustainable course between Clemson and Colorado

This is a bad analogy.
Clemson is a cult and it's growing more and more obvious by the day with Dabo. Their prerogative to accept the inevitable bad ending as tradeoff for the success. They sold their soul in a sense. An extreme in this debate.
Colorado is a publicity stunt. Deion is over his head, knows it and refuses to admit it. Worse, he's a showman that's more concerned with the show than the actual product. Who goes to Deion for roster building advice? Using him as fodder in this debate is about as logical. Another extreme in the debate.
LSU fans just want to win. We pride ourselves as being an elite program and want badly to back up those claims. We are paying a staff very well to accomplish that. The least they could do is get us the players necessary to do that. How many years are we gonna say "wait til next year" before we make them show something? Who are we, the Cubs? We have philospshical differences on how to accomplish getting the players. For some next year isn't soon enough.
