Shepard or Randle, who is the #1 recruit in the nation?

Assume Shep and Randle went to USC, who is #1 in the nation (not who is best for LSU)

  1. I agree with Rivals.com that WR Rueben Randle is the #1 recruit in the nation

  2. I agree with ESPN that QB/ATH Russell Shepard is the #1 recruit in the nation

    I believe 100% he will be an exceptional starting QB at LSU.

    He will work his butt off to make that happen. Just think the opposite of Ryan Perrilloux in terms of work ethic. That's Shepard.

    I suspect he will probably have an arm like a Herb Tyler with the running ability of a Vince Young.

    Don't underestimate how smart this kid is. He will learn the entire playbook in the Spring and be ready to fight for the job.

    RS should be #1 - outstanding talent and outstanding leadership qualities = more value, IMO.

    It all depends on his grasp of the playbook, and I have full confidence that he will learn it very quickly.

    Yeah, I was starting to wonder how many people saw it like this:

    Who is better?

    A. The guy that is coming to LSU
    B. The guy that might not be coming to LSU

    Randle put on quite a show today with a hamstring injury.

    The kid is the real deal and more.

    He sure is. 7 rec with terrible QB play.

    I cant wait to see what he can do with Shep or Jefferson throwing him the ball.

    I would have to go with Shep as #1 and RR #2 if I had to choose. But they are so close in talent and potential it doesnt matter who is 1 and who is 2. All that matters is that they are gona be playing together (hopefully).

    How bout that for a combo Shepard and Randle. Its got a ring to it dont ya think

    Russell to Reuben.

    Which in turn give the coaching staff a little R&R not having to stress so much over the offense.
