You're right. I don't know if he would leave. But I know if he was a LA kid on LSU's roster there is ZERO chance he would leave. He was entertaining other offers last year right before signing day. That is not an opinion, it's a fact. LA kids shut their recruitment down once they get that LSU offer. It's over. And once they get it, they're signing there IF IT'S A COMMITTABLE OFFER. Go back to 2021, we had Malik Nabers locked down. Until LSU came with a committable offer to let him play WR.

That's the difference. I wasn't trying to turn it into a Kamario debate. I was just pointing out that the LA kids are just different when it comes to LSU. MS kids aren't like that for either State or OM.

Just to be honest, I've heard stories of players families being threatened with losing their job if their kid didn't pick LSU. There is a ton of local pressure. That's maybe good for their team but that's not the way it should be. And they can get away with it because there are no immediate rivals to keep them in check.

And I heard that pre-NIL but at the same time, no one wants to spend their NIL money on their parents because they picked a school that wasn't LSU and their parents got fired over it.

Is the smoke around us landing Womack actually legit? Heard there?s a real chance there now

Yes, if the coaching changes are made.

They have to be made imo. I will take Ron Roberts, Brent Pry, or hell I?d kick the tires on Muschamp just for shits and giggles to see if there?s any interest for DC

This is huge if true. If that's what he wants, do it. More will follow. We need a big time recruit to commit on defense and let guys rally around that.

Same as KT on offense. I believe guys will come because of him.

Bralan Womack is trending our way. No clue if we close on him, but we've made up about as much ground as you possibly could to even be in the game. It reminds me a little bit of the Daniel Hill recruitment. I think this one ends up differently. I know A&M is not confident at all and most see that it's an us or Auburn deal.

Thanks for sharing all the info, man! Rather it happens or not it's fun to get excited about everything. Keep it coming!

Feeling REALLY good about Womack and it looks like Michah Nickerson is going to come back into the fold as well.

Just saw Wiltfong mention that. That's interesting with all the banter about staff changes on defense. You have to wonder what they are saying to these players.

Lots of $$$ or a really great hire lined up. Could be both.

We got money, don't believe the ones of ED saying we don't.

We're overpaying a bit on Womack, but he would be a massive perception win for us and he if he what everyone projects him to be, it'll be a discount in 2 years.

Money was never an issue with him.
He was told he would be taken care of. You can probably connect the dots if you know his history.

Any word on where we stand with Tico Crittendon? He's just a three star, but he's one of those Gwinnett County prospects and was a FSU commitment.

Yep and there was a promise of a truck that never came into fruition for him with Auburn.

The dots go straight to MRA now.

Huge pickup for Lebby and co. Probably the biggest defensive recruit since Simmons that I can remember.

Imo if they overpaid, that's fine. We needed the perception win as you stated! Now hopefully we keep this momentum going! Thank you boosters!

As most everyone knows, we have moved up to #30 because of the flip of five-star safety Bralan Womack (ranked a four-star 97 on 247, I don't understand this, but a .9876 five-star on the 247 composite). I hope he signs on December 3rd. We are also trying to flip Micah Nickerson, a .89 three-star DE, a .9086 four-star composite back from Missouri. Hail State! Finish strong and make it happen!

There might be a chance on a couple of other recruits as well.
