A big surprise considering his family ties to MSU. I hope he improves on his accuracy this year. Last year he only hit 47.8% of his receivers.

That's a good point. LSU should hire some folks for their staff who could look into things like that before offering scholarships...:wink:

My fave:

LSU fans have no idea how tough it is to be a fan. They get everything handed to them. No idea what is like to have 6 losing seasons in a row. That’s why they have no class or character.

Either a joke, or the poster's a 12-year-old.

From an MSU Sportwriter Blog (Greg Ellis):

Was this one of the hardest decisions you’ve ever made?)
“By far. I’m always going to love Mississippi State. The hardest thing was telling Coach Croom, because we really had a good relationship. He handled it good, I thought. He didn’t act mad about it, so I thought that was really good.”

(You’ll be going to a program that’s not in short supply of quarterbacks. Did you weigh that into your decision?)
“Yes sir. But you have to be confident in your own abilities and confident in what you can do. I just feel if I go down there, work as hard as I can, I’ll start for them one day.”

(I’m sure you’ve had a few people already express an opinion or two about your decision)
“They have. But you know, I can’t worry about what other people think or say or how they react. I have to do what’s best for me. And what’s best for me is playing at LSU.”

(Why the change of mind?)
“It was hard. But I went down there for Junior Day, and they took us around and showed us the campus, academic center and football facilities, and I was really impressed. I met most of the coaches and something about the place just stuck with me. And I loved it when I went back a few weeks ago. I sat in on a quarterback meeting and was really impressed with the direction of the offense. I came back home, prayed about it and knew it was where I wanted to be.”

I noticed the kid has good size at 6-3, 237lbs. His height is fine, but his weight is above average for a young QB in high school. I assume he has good arm strength, can anyone comment on his arm strength and passing ability? If this is the guy we wanted I'm glad he is ours.

Texas fans are thinking this gets them back in with Russell Shepard. I've hearing that they've offered him as a QB and they've got some guys transferring out.

I'm..not so sure. I think they missed the boat.

Isn't this area (NE Mississippi) where Bama usually dominates, but Ole Miss holds their own along with State? What kind of meta-recruiting implications can this have?

Maybe with State and lefire:, but don't throw Bama into that statement. They weren't after Garrett, and if McCarron wasn't a Bama lock...we probably wouldn't have been after him (Garrett) so intensely either. Not saying Garrett isn't a good choice...like Parso said, it was either gonna be him or McCarron for a pro style QB. But considering McCarron is a Bama lock, it made the decision easier.

That poor kid is going to have a long year ahead of him in Mississippi and take a lot of grief. At least he got it over with early and didn't lead Miss State on until the last minute. Now they can pursue other recruits.

You'd be surprised. There are a LOT of LSU fans in Mississippi...me being one of them. We got his back.

yes i am very confused about this, being that its 9 months early and we already have 2 QBs 1-5 Star and 1-3 Star,
when there are 3 -4Star guys we have offered to my knowledge.

Pretty simple IMO. Sheppard is the #1 Ranked Athletic QB in the Nation. Garrett is the #6 Ranked Pro-Style QB. Most folks would equate that to hitting a Homerun in recruiting QBs for '09.
