    I saw his video and he is very good, but I wouldn't call him a freak athlete. The "F-word" gets thrown around too much these days.

    its just the less thoughtful making snap judgments on the character of a person they don't know and a person they haven't met. add that to the blinding hatred the emotional immature have for him and it's hard for them not to see him in a negative light

    however, his coaches and teammates all praise his character and talk about how they love him. for example:

    if by freak athlete you mean the best player to come out of high school in the last 10 years, then yeah

    but to look at his video and only call him "very good" is an understatement if "very good" means B-grade and excellent means A-grade

    So an assault isn't a character issue

    Don't judge, brah. Everyone has sh*t in their lives that they're not proud of, doesn't make them any worse of a person.

    You mean he was convicted of an assault? Oh right, those charges were dropped to a misdemeanor. Nothing more than a college bar scuffle. If you're trying to stand on some moral high ground like you've never been in a fight, just stop.

    RJs decision to go to LSU or not I'm sure will be tough. Miles loyalty to JJ should have some factor though. Miles can say "Look there's stupid fans everywhere but this coaching staff stuck by your brother and if you come here we'll stick by you too."

    What are people going to say if they find out JJ was ultimately innocent once this thing gets tried in a court of law?

    Something like, "Wow, what a dream I just had." Cause it won't be reality.

    I don't have any issue with Jordan Jefferson as a person. I don't care if he kicked some dude in the head or not. Probably a good chance if he did kick that dude, dude deserved it. Who hasn't gotten into a bar brawl???

    My issue with Jefferson is only his play at the quarterback position for LSU. Other than that I wish the dude well, and wish he would have been a linebacker, he made a HELL of a tackle in the BCSNCG after the flip pick.

    Bring on the little brother. If he is a baller from Louisiana, LSU needs him.
