LSU & Recruiting

[Big4Dawg]

Anyone kept up with it? They were supposed to get multiple 5* today but all have announced somewhere else.

Speedy Noil - 5* to A&M
Gerald Willis - 5* to Florida

They did end up with 5* S Adams.

Tony Brown (http://247sports.com/Player/Tony-Brown-14164) & Fournette (http://247sports.com/Player/Leonard-Fournette-14147) still haven't announced.

[dawgs]

by "all have announced somewhere else" did you mean 2 of the 5 announced somewhere else?

[Big4Dawg]

The two that have announced, yes.

The two that have announced, yes.

Well, Adams did announce, right? And isn't there almost a 0% chance Fournette announces for anyone other than LSU?

74% & 94% crystal balled to LSU.

So far they are 1/3. We'll see what happens with the other 2.

Tony Brown to Bama. Wow. 1/4.

Tony Brown to Bama. Wow. 1/4.

Yikes! It's a complete meltdown on the LSU boards. Tony's sister runs track for LSU.

[HoopsDawg]

If Fournette picks Bama or Texas instead of LSU they may want to fire Miles and I'm only half-joking.

Cam Robinson to Bama earlier in the process was a big loss too. Also, OGB, Landry, and Freak Johnson have announced early.

[Political Hack]

I think Willis's mom ran track or played basketball there too. Implosion...

[Thick]

If Fournette goes Bama....Tiger nation will completely implode!

[Political Hack]

Speedy Noil is a beast child. that was an amazing catch and run. wow.

And Tony Brown can only help us with Marlon

I don't see Brown's loss as a huge one. It hurts not to get him, but at least he's from TX. But losing Noil and Willis from inside LA, especially after losing Landon Collins a couple of years ago, and suddenly their air of invincibility in-state is taking a big hit.

If Prescott becomes nationally known and it's publicized that he's from LA as well, that will hurt perception even more. Looks like despite LSU's success, you can now feel confident going in there to grab their top players.

I don't think that's a joke at all. You would start to hear very loud grumblings.

We could have a dynamic Louisiana tandem in the backfield next year with Robinson and Prescott.

Willis to UF = Speaks to LSU?

[Big4Dawg]

With Willis to Florida, LSU will for sure put more attention on Speaks.

[It_Could_Happen]

Where did fournette end up?

[hailmari]

LSU.

[Bully Dee Williams]

Paul Jones saying that today's events could cost OM both Speaks and McDowell, as LSU will be turning up the heat on both.

[HoopsDawg]

All the LSU bitching and they will still end up with a top 7 class. They just thought they would have the best class in the history of recruiting websites.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm a little surprised that websites made a running back the number 1 overall recruit considering how the position is valued in the NFL draft and free agency. It's a little like making a closer the MVP in baseball. Valuable but very replaceable.

We should hit LA a lot harder than we do,lots of talent down there.

You're assuming that the recruiting web site gurus know as much or more about football than you.
