Russell Shepard

[coolieaux]

2nd coming of Vince Young? Maybe in athletic ability but Russell Sheppard has more character than Vince Young will EVER have.

[floridaevans77]

I Know Lineman dat's faster than this dude

[ihatehomos]

hes more like Mike Vick than Vince Young

Cause VY was much bigger and he had touch on his throws

[Juggernaut13]

For those of you who doubt LSU's current recruiting class I think you might wanna go take another look at it. With Sheppard signed on this is starting to look like one of if not the best classes Miles has ever put together. When it's all said and done watch as LSU has the number one recruiting class.

[brvsfn2004]

and be right back at number 1 in the polls

[bertrand1049]

He kinda reminds me of Vince Young/Pat White. He needs to improve his passing although.

[justreg5]

he a good runner but in this almost 6 minute tape he only threw about 9 passes and he doesnt have the arm of a number 4 recruit from those passes

[shaqkobe4]

this guy is so overrated, he throws like my qb in vermont, yeah that's right. how is he fourth in the nation, more like one hundred and fourth

[acsmall2]

just wait until this class if complete though. LSU already has the #4 player in the country. We will also end up with the #2 player (McFarland) and the #6 player, (Randall from Louisiana and the #16 player Davenport who is another 5-star beast from Mansfield, Louisiana. We wil end up with 5 5-Star recruits and the #1 one class in the country

[akuonye]

mcfarland will up at texas son, and we gonna get loston too

[thechampoin]

loston went to LSU and mcfarland went to OU hahahahaha

[FukqU]

Looks like LSU will have to run the option now, with RP kicked off the team for smoking crack. good old smash mouth football..

[freudandbeck]

Huh? The option was set up for RP. With RP gone, the option is out for the most part. You need to learn a little about football before posting idiotic comments.

[Z7m]

He is a fine runner, Miles will use him and the running backs alot. now that he kicked RP off the team. Question is who is going to pass the ball at LSU now.

[akuonye]

he is the qb

[g0turne]

OVERRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#4 in the nation

You trying to tell me out of 50 states hes #4 in USA GET DA FUCK OUT OF HERE

[Tru2DaGame23]

he cant pass worth crap anyway he only passed for 700 yards this season compared to gilberts 2000 or something like that

[Z7m]

Now that Miles put RP back on the team, be curious to see if he puts Shepard at WR, or a 3rd string back up QB. I thought he didn't want to go to TX, because he wanted to play QB?

[iBall5]

I would pay money to see him play for either my Tigers or them Longhorns. He's really talented

[mossgin]

he's a tiger

[ridge17]

i go to school with this kid and he's in my grd. watch me as i turn him into a longhorn

[biganakhanhda]

You do that and I'll forever be grateful. Deep down he knows he wants to. *HIGH FIVE*

[Juggernaut13]

Doubtful, Considering he already committed to LSU. Not to mention the class LSU has put together so far already for the 09 recruiting class. Just imagine Shepard with Micheal Ford... Talk about a one two punch. Can't wait to see these two together on the next level.

[Tru2DaGame23]

the class LSu put together? nothing compared to Texas 09 class we have 17 commits all ready not to mention 15 of them are in espn's top 150 and 10 in rivals top 100

[dozmay107]

That's what i'm talking about. Texas will rape the college football world in 2009-20012

[Z7m]

With his gal going to LSU, who is older them him, LSU best hope they stay together..

If they do, he is a good catch for LSU..

[Z7m]

Nice pick up for LSU, he is a good QB.

congrats!

[biganakhanhda]

Congrats to all you LSU fans. Lets hope he doesn't pull a Perrilloux on you guys. Hook 'Em Gilbert

[ttate20]

LSU commit!!

[SAEVick]

Welcome to Tigertown.

[WatchMeStride]

Michigan needs him, maybe they can actually win a few games this season. LMAO

[GamblerLV]

Nice player and a very well spoken young man

Texas Michigan LSU and aTm all have a shot, whoever gets him will be happy..

I like him ALOT more then Pryor.

[binkyboy13]

he's 17 years old, just a kid. why do you all act like he's going to make or break your school's program. Just enjoy the video for what it is.. a kid with great skills and god given ability.

[mgoblue91120]

hes comin to meeechigan fer sure if terrelle pryor doesn't. i almost would rather have shepard than pryor. shepard looks like pat white reincarnate and would fit our system perfectly. hes faster and has better vision. either way the UofM is comin out with a great QB. and those texas people need to know that they already got one running QB commit so shepard already said thats a big turn-off for him. he said he wants to play right away. sorry texas. but hes comin here.

GO BLUE!

[chadzilla85]

stfu michigan....they suck my left nut. also, remember appalachian state. of yeaaa ebarassed in the national spotlight... thats a shame.  HOOK EM HORNS

[akuonye]

naw he's coming to texas

[Dogwarrior]

Shepard is going to Texas... and be used the way Darren McFadden was used at Arkansas. He will play QB, RB and WR. Crabtree at Texas Tech was a QB in high school. He would have never made the Pros as a QB... but he is a sure thing now as at WR. Shepard is too good to be limited to just one playing position. Texas is right to want him use all his skills.

[Restoredaroar4]

You know even if we are lucky enough to land pryor, michigan could potentially do the same thing dogwarrior; use him as an athlete for a few seasons and let him compete at qb after pryor is gone.

[Imawolverinefan1]

This kid has already stated that he wants to come to Michigan. They've been talking about it on the Ann Arbor sports radio show in the morning.

[pizzaparty62]

better runner than pryor but not so sure about passer

[akuonye]

bullshit, he said texas was in lead as of friday

[GamblerLV]

Cy Ridge 6'2" QB Russell Shepard, a five-star athlete, who runs a legitimate 4.4 second 40-yard dash, said he did get an offer from the Longhorns on Sunday. But didn't commit.

"I would say Texas is still up there, but Michigan is really at the top of my list"

[kgillh100]

Or if Gilbert commits to UT, which he did. Got a good one anyway in Gilbert so y'all can leave Shep for UM or someone else who needs him. :)

[LocDawg23]

nothings wrong with a 2 QB system look at chris leak and tim tebow

[kgillh100]

Well, it would't be bad for TEXAS if both of them signed, but I wouldn't bet that most top fight QBs are itching and scratching to play in a 2 QB system, especially if they're in the same graduating class. Tebow was playing a more minor, heir-apparent type role as a Freshman while Leak was a Senior on his way out and played the main role. Something tells me two 5-star QBs in the same class wouldn't be down w/ that.

[tlouie23]

i hope he comes to texas
