Bengal Mania Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Link I don't follow college football all that closely, but I definitely have heard of this guy. This was pretty big local news yesterday. I guess I'm kind of surprised he didn't get drafted at all. LSU fans, what's the word on this guy?

Grits and Shins Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 A "big coup" that you landed somebody nobody thought enough of to draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengal Mania Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 A "big coup" that you landed somebody nobody thought enough of to draft 794988[/snapback] I was thinking exactly the same thing at first. I wondered if there is more to his injury, otherwise I would've thought someone would've taken a flier on him in Rnd 6 or 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well he took less money to come here. That's something. The guy has some nice awards behind his name. They say he could have been a 3rd rounder if not for the knee. I'll take it. They need to start grooming someone to take over at center next year. A little competition between Wilkerson and 4th round pick Ghiaciuc is a good thing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOO Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Major, major knee problems at LSU. Otherwise he was probably the top center. I can't believe nobody drafted him just for a shot he recovers. Good signing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaumont Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Major, major knee problems at LSU. Otherwise he was probably the top center. I can't believe nobody drafted him just for a shot he recovers. Good signing! 795916[/snapback] From the Beaumont area I believe ... local paper predicted he would be picked in round 2-3 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacosud Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 They also signed Lydell Ross RB from Ohio State at least that is what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowdog Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 They also signed Lydell Ross RB from Ohio State at least that is what I heard. 797546[/snapback] Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacosud Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Why? 797650[/snapback] I guess they figure insurance for Chris Perry. Lydell is another power back and fits the Bengal mold of backs. Lydell also blocks pretty well. I was not a huge Lydell fan but he is not a horrible back either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
