One takeaway would be that White could have been in that mix had he chosen Arkansas

[robs4516]

And that he's now a linebacker at LSU.

[Pig in the Pokey]

And that he's now a linebacker at LSU.

i told him that a couple weeks ago. about 2 minutes later he responded with "smh"


He knows.

[RazorbackJAC]

he's probably "shaking his head" because of all the Arkansas fans who won't leave him alone on social media??

[TM Hog]

Good read!

[rzrbk4life]

I think it may all depend upon how well our O-line can gel. If they can get a decent push and open up some holes four our RBs, I have no doubt that Whaley could have a 1,000 yd season

You sure it wasn't SMH that Arkansas fans are still talking darn to him on Twitter?

Probably a proper guess

[DeltaBoy]

Good read and we will see how this plays out.

[Kevin]

o-line need is big worry

[KlubhouseKonnected]

Probably a proper guess

Which does not neccessarily make them wrong however.

naw, he had told me 3 times or more that he preferred to play runningback. it was one of the things that kept us high on his list. I bet he ends up back at RB. Feel feel to believe Hogville's interpretation of twitter b/c Hogville is elite at deciphering 17 year old's tweets, huh?

Didn't he finish a couple of LSU's scrimmages as the leading tackler while at linebacker? If a true freshman is doing that, I doubt they'd move him from that position.

EDIT: Yeah, he did for at least one.

Three months into his collegiate career and a whole other level of folklore is rising up out of the Sportsman's Paradise after the Tigers completed their first full scrimmage of the spring on Saturday. White, now listed at 6'1", 255 pounds, had a scrimmage tying high of six tackles (Arden Key) after making the switch from running back to linebacker during spring workouts. White has been able to take advantage of Kendall Beckwith being sidelined with a minor injury through the early part of spring drills showcasing his skills to the LSU staff.

Defensive coordinator Dave Aranda has already moved his elite true freshman into the first team unit pairing him with Donnie Alexander on the inside in LSU's 3-4 defense. Reporters and fans were kept out of the first scrimmage of the spring leaving the coaching staff to comment on individual performances. Head coach Les Miles commented about White's performance adding, "He's going to be a very talented linebacker. He needs to work on his tackling but he's a guy who will be an every down linebacker for us very quickly. He has a natural instinct and he's a special player."

Also sounds like he was extremely open to the idea:

The 6-foot, 250-pound White, one of five freshmen who enrolled in January, saw a quicker path to the field with new defensive coordinator Dave Aranda.

"We went around the room, voted, talked about his skills," Miles said of the coaching staff. "His lower and upper body skills and his contact. He texted me and said, 'Listen, maybe if I played linebacker I could get on the field sooner.' I said, 'That might be true.' We gave him an opportunity and he's doing a lot with it. It will be interesting to see how he goes from here."

And with that, I'm done talking about LSU players.

This one time I hope the media gets it right. Be Uncommon!

Since when did LSU start running a 3-4 defense? Have I been that oblivious?

Do you know how hard it was for me to not give a smarta$$ remark?
