That the ex-CB of the LSU Tigers , Patrick Peterson , Is a great player does not doubt anyone. This year will jump to the NFL being possibly the most talented player of all (for me the 2 nd behind WR AJ Green ), having received in 2010 the Jim Thorpe Award credited him as the Best of all NCAA DB. All mocks place him in the top 5 and some even place him as the first overall choice.
His career in the Tigers has been brilliant, both in defensive roles, such as those of returner. Even mid-season sounded like a candidate for the Heisman , which seems banned for defensive players.
But all the good that is in the field, it is losing out. Already, since he was recruited by major universities in 2007, his last of HS samples left a big ego. The site specializes rivals, we gave the highest valuation, ie, the 5 stars and ranked him as the fifth best player overall.
By then called Patrick Johnson . The best programs have set their eyes on him. The favorite seemed Miami, with whom he committed in April. This commitment lasted 5 months, and that October reopened his recruitment . LSU suddenly became the favorite to take over its services, Florida and Florida State something behind. The Hurricanes had disappeared from the fight.
At that point, you doubted the cleaning process and there was speculation that the Tigers had offered money to five-star DB Florida, but nothing seemed to clear. After 3 years in college and after announcing his leap to the NFL , the case went back out to the public. Last month followed reports that Peterson was related to street agent Will Lyles, star of Oregon case which remains under investigation by the NCAA .
All seemed to explode last week when Van Malone, a former high school coach in Texas A & M and recruiting manager for Peterson Aggies in 2007, made some statements saying Will Lyles approached him to tell him whether he wanted the player ended up in State College should offer an amount around $ 80,000 which is what other programs were willing to pay for it. According Malone, Texas A & M rejected the offer and left the bid. In the end the Tigers were made with their services, as speculated, for the modest price previously discussed.
A Peterson first thing that happened was that everything was a lie and had not even been recruited by Texas A & M much less had visited the campus of the Aggies. Something might have worked for years, but thanks to the Internet and advances in computing, we can see that is a lie, as evidenced by this link the TAMU page on rivals (which I have knowledge thanks to Forero NFLHispano , zoolander36 ).
do not think this case we do lose reputation heading into the draft, do not actually think it was logical. What I want is to finally take charge of tackling the problem of street agents seriously and punish cancer Will Lyles, with never set foot on campus life.
