I see warren CB'd Sullivan to lsu this morning. Does anyone know where this kid is going?

All say LSU now. Ha, Sullivan's recruitment is a prime example of how nobody really knows a damn thing. In the last 3 weeks this kid was "down to LSU, TCU, MSU", then "LSU is out, it's btwn MSU & TCU", then "Looks like he's going to MSU!, he has informed our staff", then "things have changed, he may want to be closer to Mom & Dad in Texas", then "He's TCU bound..it's a lock. Been leaning that way all along*", NOW...."He will likely be choosing LSU in 2 hours".

Haha, glad there are so many recruiting sources out there.**

I know "things change", but no damn way this kid changed his mind 3 times in 2 weeks. This was simply a case of multiple people in the recruiting circles wanting to be the 1st, & taking a "I think he's leaning here" and running with it. Recruiting is so laughable, but it's like a train wreck...I can't turn away. ("train wreck" just turned out to be fitting in more ways than I intended for us MSU fans*)

If we could somehow pull those bottom 4 along with lashley, I'd feel much better

I'm not hearing good things on Simmons. Losing Hughes is not good. There is something wrong with our recruiting. I think it is the recruiters.

I think we get brown, Kobe, Lashley, and 1 out of the other two.

If we just get the Starkville kids and Lashley, that is pretty disappointing.

I agree. Got to get one of knott and Simmons in addition to Kobe, aj, and lashley

It'll be difficult to sway Simmons and Knott when Bama wins the national title.

Isn't knott their backup plan? Maybe he never gets the firm offer.

BTW, I think Michigan state is taking bama down.

Really? You think who wins the national title will determine who gets these two. That's just silly.

[ElitedawgRecruiting]

If Bama wanted Knott the could have already had him. So swaying him isn't an accurate statement. The longer it goes the better for us

[Bothrops]

I don't feel good about Simmons and OM will make a push for AJ, hope we are ready for that. Lashley and Jones, I thought were locks. Our recruiting us so pitiful.

[HancockCountyDog]

It's looking more and more likely that Willie Allen will have a landing spot at LSU, which may take him off the board for us.

LSU also looks to be the leader for Devin White a kid that Arkansas thought they had.

LSU will not be denied this recruiiting season.

I think LSU is the easiest place in the country to recruit football players. Bama may top them lately but it's because of Saban.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

He's living in the fan's perspective and not viewing this from an 18 year-old's perspective.

Buckley is listed as the primary recruiter from UL for Simmons, so if he joined the staff that would help. I wish we would show more urgency in finding a replacement.

Waiting for after the bowl game to make the hirer. Heard if it was Buckley he wouldn't take it until after their game as well. Not saying he is a done deal. A lot of coaches won't change (except the coaches joining staffs of new head coaches) until after their bowl games. And Dan has nearly always waited until after the coaches convention as well.

It looks like LSU may land Drake Davis at the UA game. Plenty of talk that LSU made a move here, and he apparently is now announcing at the game.

Looks like the bears may want to slow down on hanging up the recruiting championship banner.
