Rumor: Carneal Ainsworth Leaves Team
We do not consider "reporting on latest rumors" to be one of the strengths of this website. It's not that we're not interested in rumors, or that we consider ourselves above that sort of thing. We just are not in a position to do it particularly well. Both Poseur and myself have day jobs, so...
Class of 2009 Index
After an exhaustive bit of writing, we have finally finished our features on the LSU Class of 2009. We laughed. We cried. We were moved. After the jump, there is an index of links to individual profiles. QB Russell Shepard RB Michael Ford DB Craig Loston WR Rueben Randle DT Chris...
Class of 2009: QB/Ath Russell Shepard
This is our final installment of the Class of 2009 series, and if you have been following recruiting at LSU at all, you already know who this young man is. If you haven't, he is quarterback-wideout-running back Russell Shepard. Like Patrick Peterson in 2008, he is not just a headliner, he is the...
Class of 2009: RB Michael Ford
via image.cdnl3.xosnetwork.com Our collection of posts on the Class of 2009 is coming to a close pretty soon. Leesville running back Michael Ford is the penultimate prospect we will be examining. He is the next headliner on the list. Ford was a 5-star running back on Scout, and a 4-star on...
Class of 2009: DB Craig Loston
via image.cdnl3.xosnetwork.com Safety Craig Loston is probably the best defensive prospect in a class that has a lot of really good defensive prospects. He is a clear, unabashed, unambiguous headliner of this class. He is a safety who combines top shelf athleticism with head-hunting attitude. ...
Class of 2009: DT Chris Davenport
via image.cdnl3.xosnetwork.com I so desperately wanted to make Chris Davenport a headliner, but I think ultimately I have to make him a solid player instead. Davenport is a huge 6'4" 323# defensive tackle out of tiny Mansfield High School in Mansfield, Louisiana. He was a 5-star on both Rivals...
Class of 2009: DE Sam Montgomery
via image.cdnl3.xosnetwork.com One of the biggest (positive) surprises of the Class of 2009 was defensive end Sam Montgomery from Greenwood High School in Greenwood, South Carolina. South Carolina is hardly our typical recruiting territory, and most observers were skeptical when LSU appeared to...
Class of 2009: LB Kevin Minter
via image.cdnl3.xosnetwork.com Linebacker Kevin Minter from Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Georgia, was an early enrollee at LSU, and so has been at LSU since Spring Practice. This is a player I seriously considered giving "headliner" status to, but ultimately I am going to be...
2010 Recruiting: The Big Guys, Part 2 of 2
We checked out 4 of the linemen/linebackers in this class on Friday. Since then, another big guy has committed. For the moment, we are going to ignore him, but let's go over the other guys. Elliot Porter is definitely an example of the common theme of LSU recruiting for the 2010 class so far. ...
Class of 2009: LB/DE Barkevious Mingo
via image.cdnl3.xosnetwork.com Of all of these profiles, the Barkevious Mingo profile is probably the hardest one to label. Honestly, I could have named him either a project, a solid player, or a headliner, depending on the criteria. In the end, I'm going to stick with solid player. He could...
