Recruiting talk

I'm hearing some angst among LSU fans after John Curtis defensive back Robby Green committed to Alabama.

Unless Green blossoms in Tuscaloosa, I don't think LSU fans have much reason to worry.

Back in the summer when I was doing some recruiting work, I talked to a college coach in the state (not from LSU) about Green.

This coach said Green wouldn't be a high-profile recruit if his dad hadn't played at LSU. And, he added, “He won’t hit anybody.''

Green still has time to turn around that reputation. He may very well go on to an excellent career at Alabama the same way Tommy Wilcox once did. But right now, I'm not betting on it.
