MSU and QB Questions

[BiscuitEater]

Just saw where 4 Star QB Myles Brennan decommitted from LSU. Brennan (6 feet 3, 180 pounds) is from Bay St. Louis (Miss.) St. Stanislaus and is one of the top 10 pro-style quarterbacks in the class of 2017.

Apparently, Orgeron is looking to run a 'spread type' offense.

I know he has been committed and stuck with is for a long time .. but how good do we feel about Keytaon Thompson going forward?

Do we have a 'back-up' QB on our list?

Another QB question .. Notre Dame granted quarterback Malik Zaire his release from the school, but 'blocked' him from all teams on Notre Dame's upcoming schedule, with except UNC.

Zaire graduates from Notre Dame in 3 weeks. HOW can Notre Dame block him from ANY school once he graduates?

I don't think LSU and Thompson have much mutual interest. Honestly, you'd be pretty foolish if you're a QB to jump at the chance to play at LSU.

Key is solid, but if LSU rolls out the red carpet for Thompson that could change things. They'll have to miss on a couple bigger fish before that happens.

Keytaon is an early graduate. So he will be enrolling in the next couple weeks. Would be hard for LSU to get into the picture this late. Plus he has been one of the key leaders in this class

And again, they already have a higher rated dual threat QB committed in Lowell Narcisse.

I think Orgeron's approach is dumb. I don't think he has to run a spread offense with a dual threat quarterback at LSU. If he gets superior talent, he can run a pro style offense, cut down on turnovers, and grind the games physically like Alabama does. That doesn't mean he can't innovate, though.

I still think Les Miles problems the last few years were due to bad quarterback recruiting, not bad offensive scheme.

I stated last week that O was a good fit at LSU. Looks I'm already starting to be wrong. No big deal, far from the first time.

O said in an interview a few years back that he failed at being a head coach because he thought he had to have his fingers in every aspect of the game. I thought maybe he would do better at LSU having learned this lesson. It's looking like he may not have actually learned this lesson.

I think Orgeron's approach is dumb. I don't think he has to run a spread offense with a dual threat quarterback at LSU.

I thought it was strange that he would say that in his introductory press conference. It isn't hard to imagine that the higher ups had a conversation with him beforehand and said, we'll give you the job but you have to promise some razzle dazzle on offense.

Lowell Narcisse has also torn his ACL each of the last two seasons. They will certainly be looking for another dual threat guy as well. I did see where they offered the 5 star that's committed to Bama. That's good news for us with Keytaon. It's pretty clear though that Kiffin liked how the offense ran with a dual threat guy this year.

Lowell Narcisse is definitely more of an Ole Miss name, than a coonass one.
