    Could it be that RP may pull a MB and surprise everybody by going with aTm???

    That is strange the TexasRivals took him off their list. What have they heard?
    On Rivals 100 UT is still on the list. Although LSU is top and UT is 2nd.

    I know the Orange Horns are pissed though. They lost MB to A&M of all teams and now RP is probably not coming!! The 2 guys that flashed "Hook'em Horns" at the All star game. HAHA!!! This is hillarious:hihi:

    Of course I would be pissed too. It's so good to be on this side after losing our coach, worrying about the incoming coach, OC's and DC's and now it is looking really good. All the signs point to RP coming to LSU and the possibility of Campo being our DC. This would be great.

    Maybe I'm the only one that saw it, but I think RP hired a sky writer to spell LSU over the Houston skyline today, as a subtle reminder of his intentions...either that, or I dozed off at work this morning and was dreaming!

    And I agree, UT Fans are melting down b/c they lost a recruit? You don't see this level of incredulence when they lose a GAME!

    Let me ask a question. J. Russell was a true freshman for the 2004 season right?

    Well he wasn't in 2004 recruiting class but in 2003's class. What happened to the 2003 fall season?

    I was just looking at the past classes and I think I'm missing something. Also they have Flynn listed as running a 4.53. I didn't know he was that fast. How fast was Mauck?

    Wrong. J. Russell was a redshirt freshman this past season.

    Yep, Russell spent all of the National Championship season wearing a ball cap on the sidelines, waiving a towel to get the crowd fired up and clapping after Matt Mauck threw TDs.

    Both Russell and Flynn were redshirted that season.

    My bad. I can't believe I didn't know that.


    You know I would be pissed if I was a UT guy and I would also say that RP handled it wrong too and that a guy shouldn't leave a coach hanging till the last day to decide. I'm tired of the grandstanding these guys do and the way they do it because it hurts the potential of recruiting someone else for that position. I don't care for the way it goes down.

    But the vitriol coming out of the UT forums is ridiculous. I wouldn't be happy but some of the crap they say is just stupid. But who know's how we would react if we got screwed like that by 2 different players.

    In feeling good about RP coming to LSU, he will probably go to MSU. If this happens you guys will get to see if I'm a hypocrite or not. I might be in here cursing up a storm tommorrow. Hehe!

    In Highschool, Flynn was very elusive & good at avoiding tackles in the pocket, but not a running threat.

    Just looked up Flynn's numbers when he was recruited in 2003:

    Height: 6-foot-2
    Weight: 216
    40-yard dash: 4.53
    Bench: 250 lbs.
    Squat max: 390 lbs.

    By comparison, Alley Broussard was listed as running a 4.5 in the 40 and JeMarcus Russell was listed as running a 4.7

    Also, RP is listed as 6-foot-2 , 207 lbs. and was clocked at 4.5 in the 40

    :shock:
