But his biggest advantage in high school has always been that he's twice as fast as everybody else. And that's an advantage he shouldn't have in the SEC. The again, Johnny Manziel made SEC opponents look like they were playing with cement blocks on their feet.....Quote:

Be careful. Looks like "fingers crossed" we may get to keep him one more year as twitter is saying LSU is looking at UGA WR coach.
True. But that said, a couple of years ago some kid named Marriotta was the 12th ranked QB and that same year another kid named Manziel was ranked 14th in the dual threat rankings. And A&M's stud replacement for Manziel transferred after he was benched. This is all just fun message board talk until they hit the field.Quote:

So one year a few years back they said USC signed the top 3 WR's in the nation. Out of the 3 of them, 1 transferred and had a mediocre college career. Never started. The other one finished his career with about 150 receiving yards and the other one got in a fist fight with his professor because the professor took his ipod from him because he was listening to it in class, he never saw the field.
Rattay, Edwards, Patton, White, Dixon, Lee, Cangelosi, Slaughter, Tilley,Malone ,Smith....... What do they all have in common?Quote:

Great coaches develop the talent on roster and system to work with what they inherited. College is littered with " real winners" who were never developed and mediocre talent excelling in great systems. Just my opinion but I think quality coaching trumps everythingQuote:
