(Landon Ibieta is...) Looking like the goods!

[Damiencane86]

This kid doesn't strike me as a diva or flakey type. As long as we don't have an awful year he's going nowhere.

 

[Cajuncane]

Kid is the goods and LSU has ****ed off a lot of HS coaches the way they have treated kids over the years having them commit then dropping them close to NSD.
Coaches around here aren’t much different than S.Fla coaches when it comes to having memories like an elephant.Certain schools don’t push their kids to LSU.Not sure about Mandeville HS but I don’t remember a lot of them going to LSU…I don’t think there are any kids from Mandeville HS on the LSU roster and I think it’s even a couple years since they had one and Mandeville has a pretty good football program..

also the QB that threw that ball has an arm.Threw that pass 60+ yds in the air from what I counted.

 

[NOLACane21]

He's already told multiple SEC schools that didn't recruit him before the Miami commit...to pound sand.

He has Tulane connections in his family, no? That should help some with holding off pressure from locals, re. LSU.

Don’t understand the comparison to Berrios/Restrepo aside from being white. Seem like very different players

Berrios and Restrepo are white?

 

[Allabouttheu95]

I know it’s likely not possible but sign a receiver that is this polished every single year and we will start to light scoreboards up on a weekly basis

NPR had a show on selection bias earlier this week, where a research team posted resumes to 10s of thousands of job listings. They used the exact same resume profiles but would randomize the names between ones more associated with blacks and ones more associated with whites. The first group got a response from the recruiter or hiring manager 10-20% less often than the second group, again with the exact same resume and credentials. I think WRs face this selection bias in the reverse. Berrios, Restrepo, Ibieta. Those aren't WR names.

 

[can4life]

When Johnson decommited from LSU I never saw them bring him up but they brought up Preston a ton and a local track guy so it seems we're safe here and I'm all for it

They say Johnson transferred to western high is that tru?

It is real and it’s even more prominent among college basketball coaches.

My son has consistently run into this as an Indian basketball player. He’s playing D3 ball and that is the correct level, but his high school production and athleticism is on par with many of his AAU and high school teammates playing at bigger programs. But to most college coaches all they see is a brown skinned player who, to them, is either Indian/middle eastern/Latino. None of which have produced a lot of basketball players.
Same thing happens to East Asians And why Jeremy Lin was such a marketing phenom.

Yeah

Perhaps. All I was told is that Orgeron reached out to invite him in for a workout, and Saban reached out to invite him in for a workout.

No to both.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Berrios and Restrepo are white?

In a binary recruiting world, yes.

 

[JustAFanHTX]

You're not going to like the answer.

Lmao

 

[Cribby]

No to both.

His dad says his recruitment is over. I actually believe him.

 

[JgDaCane]

Can you post the article if you can find it? Would love to read it. Thanks!

It was on here somewhere.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

You and me both, but that's not gonna stop the mopey "it's sooooo hard to pull a Louisiana recruit out of Louisiana" crowd from manufacturing the drama from now until Signing Day.

The kid warned people to "not be a fan later", and Orgeron and Saban (or their staffs) didn't listen.

I mean it is extremely hard to get a Louisiana recruit but besides that we agree

Agreed. I just wanted to contrast "generalizations" against "this specific kid". Who told Orgeron and Saban to pound sand. As a "three-star".

Gonna cop his jersey on that fact alone.
Same as major 9 playing the piano in Saban’s house then poppin to the good guys the next day.

 

[L A M P]

Whoa friend , you’re setting a dangerous precedent by comparing those two.

Was being facetious.
