Everything I'm reading says this guys is falling. Attitude and effort. Good chance he is there at 47. Would you? 11.5 sacks on the strong side in the SEC is impressive and you can let Spncer walk and save a bunch of money. Discuss.

Was it ever determined if this list was legit?

It's weird because on the field he appears to be a higher "motor" player than Mingo.

If your coach is bad-mouthing your effort chances are the player won't have the work ethic and character needed to succeed at the next level.

I wouldn't touch him before the 3rd round to de-risk the pick with his own coaches allegedly throwing him under the bus like this. And that is only if a good interview and background check indicates the issues brought up are unfounded.

NEVER draft a player with a suspect motor. EVER.

I would rather go the Alex Okafor route than Montgomery

I would have to do A LOT of my own research before I considered it. See what kind of person he really is. He sure as hell was very successful for someone who apparently didn't give a lot of effort. That part doesn't really add up a whole lot to me to be honest. I'm guessing its more of a selfish/non team player type of thing maybe?

I guess I'd be sure to look into it but to me, this sort of thing says a lot more about the coach than it does about the players.

Quote from yesterday I think:
Tony Pauline ‏@TonyPaulineThat should be LSU coaches not giving Sam Montgomery/DE/LSU a ringing endorsement. Sorry- Long day


Tony Pauline ‏@TonyPauline
Confirmed today what I've heard since October; LSU coaches not giving Sam Montgomery/DE/LSU are rining endorsement. Quite the contrary

Last sentence on the second tweet confuses me, is that a confirmed it was not or it IS on the first one.

I'd ding him, for sure. But there are 10 guys on that list, from one team. It sounds more like they failed to meet some team requirement and this was the consequence. Not a positive, by any stretch, but not proof positive that all of those guys have attitude or motor problems, either.

He just admitted it as well, that he took GAMES off, not just plays

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Some team is gonna draft him mid 2nd round or so and everyone will say what a steal he is........and 3 years from now, no one will remember him.

Character issues? Jerry will take him at #18.
