Spears talks LSU decision

Agree. Even the national analysts are buying into Spears.

Contrary to popular belief I expect him to make an impact in his first year.

Me too! I'm really impressed with him.

I've seen lots of people saying he needs a year or two, but I think he'll see plenty of action next year.

High School film reminds me of Craig Davis film in high school. Speaking of that did anyone else on here get that DVD film of the 2003 recruits back in the day? It had about five minutes of each player with an announcer giving their stats and all. The biggest head scratcher in that class on film was Tim Washington. Easily the most impressive and explosive player I have ever seen at DE in high school. I think he got hurt senior year and never returned to previous form?

He seems to have good hands and also reminds me of Davis in that regard. He is large enough to play WR as a freshman. The real question is he so talented that he can overcome the lack of experience he has. I would think he needs to learn a lot, including how physical he is going to have to be to compete in the SEC.

Am not sure how many times he has had to catch a ball and get his bell rung by a DB, then get up and continue to make plays. That also comes with experience and know your own toughness.

Looking forward to seeing what this kid is made of.

Tim Washington was a great looking prospect that didn't pan out. I maybe wrong here, was he the one that wound up at Appalachian State? Someone correct me if that isn't right.

"(Miles) thinks I can be that outside guy who can make a difference for them."

Translation:
"Miles thinks I can mask their incompetent play-calling in the red-zone by throwing jump balls to me."

Found the below paragraph interesting from DandyDon on Kevin Spears (lists more offers than I thought):

"It was nice hearing from so many of you this weekend about LSU picking up its 27th commitment this weekend in Kevin Spears (6'3", 190, Holy Cross). Many of you are concerned that Spears isn't even rated by the major recruiting services and have asked me what I think of that. Let me tell you as my father before used to say - the number of stars next to a players’ name isn't worth a hill of beans. What’s more important is how well a player fits a team’s needs, and a better measure of the player’s talent level is the number of schools that recruit him. As for fulfilling team needs, LSU clearly needed to sign a couple of tall wide receivers in this class, and at 6'3" Spears meets the mark. But height is not all he has going for him. What you have to realize is that Spears has only been playing football for two years, and this past season he had 65 receptions for 1,115 yards (17.1-yard average) and 11 touchdowns, and that’s against solid 4A competition. He was also named to the 4A All-State team, the New Orleans All-Metro Team and the 10-4A All-District team. Because it was only his second year playing football, and last season he was just getting initiated to the game, Spears went relatively unnoticed until late this season. According to Holy Cross Assistant Coach Ryan Kamlade, whom I hear from often, Spears was receiving interest from Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, ULM, Minnesota, Indiana, Arkansas, Maryland, and SMU (Dallas), and had received offers from Mississippi State, San Diego State, Syracuse, Tulane, Utah, Henderson State, La Tech, Southern University, Western Kentucky, and ULL. Not bad for a prospect who didn't decide to pursue football until last year."
