re: Stewart Mandel AGAIN badmouthing Les on oversigning

Want to know why LSU oversigned last year? Because they believed Brad Wing would not qualify. Want to know why they thought that? Because the NCAA friggin' told LSU he wouldn't qualify.
The argument that LSU is "immoral" starts with the school standing by Brad Wing and trying to reverse an NCAA decision that would have barred him from getting into school. The more "moral" act would have been to ditch Wing and not have the extra player. What a crock.

What about a kid like Houston Bates who commits during LSU summer camp so he basically shuts down his recruiting?

I wish ya'll would call Mandel out on this since he obviously is in over his head and spews garbage. This is just more garbage for other conferences to repeat about the SEC out of jealousy and ignorance.

LSU told Wing ahead of time they didn't think they could get his transcripts cleared "in time". Wing & his parents got it done on their own dime. Then, LSU's Admissiosn Office told him he needed a different visa to get into school. Austrailia will not issue that one anywhere but on Austrailian soil, so he actually flew all the way to Austrailia, got it done, & then flew all the way back.
LSU jacked up the Wing/Porter situation. You always prepare for potential problems, & them not getting out in front of this one months before with a frank, honest discussion is a tail that can only be pinned on one donkey: Les Miles.
He honestly dropped the ball there. Which is strange, because between Sam Nader & the Eligibility Center (formerly known as the NCAA Clearinghouse), LSU has a pretty good relationship & track record in getting kids in quickly & finding out what they need.
