re: 247sports predicts LSU will be the most disappointing team in SEC

His main attribute was his ability to recruit and him not closing with Surtain or Goodrich is a major red flag

That's retarded to blame O for what Surtain did. For two solid years, Surtain promised LSU and everyone else that he was coming to LSU. Then he goes and visits Alabama and afterward lets O know that he changed his mind after two solid years that he was going to Alabama instead at 11:00 PM the night before signing day. Only idiots do that to people and he probably did it at the behest of Nick Saban.

There was absolutely nothing O could do about that. Not a damn thing different he could have done. After two solid years, he had to trust Surtain was telling LSU the truth. You can't blame O for what an adolescent immature kid does unless you are as immature as that adolescent kid.

Moreover, he didn't choose Alabama because of O. He chose Alabama because of their record of winning national championships. However, the kid is still scum because of the way he informed O at 11:00 PM the night before signing day.

Had he informed O soon after his visit to Alabama that he had changed his mind, O would have had the chance and the time to get someone else, but unfortunately, that's not what he did. Hence, to me, Surtain and his dad are scumbags for what they did to LSU and O, and it's hard for me to believe that they are both that stupid, so I believe it was intentional at Saban's behest.

Anyway, since you blame O for what happened, as you are insinuating that he muffed it all up, then explain to us exactly what you would have done differently had you been in O's shoes? I mean that's only fair because you are blaming it all on O.

Moreover, LSU and everyone else misses on players every year. Look at Nick Saban, he missed on four players he thought were in the bag on signing day.

Furthermore, missing on one cornerback isn't the end of the world. Sure it would have been nice to get one, but again it's not the end of the world. The class overall was pretty damn good considering how piss-poor the damn Louisiana crop of elite players in the state was and because unlike Les Miles classes in the past, with the exception of only one cornerback, this class actually met our needs.

In fact, we finished with the number one ranked wide receiver class, the number three ranked defensive line class, the number six ranked linebacker class, and the number nine ranked offensive line class.

Not to mention, that the class contains several under-ranked players like for instance, Davin Cotton, who everybody says would have been a five star had he not been injured in his senior year. Jamar Chase was actually ranked higher than Terrace Marshall in the final 247 Sports rankings that didn't count toward the final recruiting tally and Dantrieze Scott was also ranked up from a three star to a four star in those same final rankings that also didn't count in the final recruiting class rankings. Also, in those final rankings, Dare Rosenthal also moved up from a low four-star to a high four-star in those same final rankings. Hence, everyone pissing on O and last year's recruiting class are idiots that don't know anything about recruiting and football.

In addition, for two years when Kelvin Joseph was a cornerback he was ranked as a five-star recruit, and then when he became a safety in his senior season, he was dropped to a high four-star recruit.

Which is why O is moving Kelvin Joseph back to cornerback to make up for the lost of Surtain. So you guys panicking over the loss of just one damn cornerback are crying over spilled milk. As soon as Joseph arrives on campus, he will make up for the lost of Surtain.

Not to mention, we should know something about Fulton's situation in the next couple of months. His attorney believes he has a strong case and that he will win Fulton's appeal to the NCAA. So we will see what happens with that situation. I have my fingers crossed.
