We're offered him a scholarship and he accepted.

Les saw him playing backyard football one day. He said "hey this guy has a want". Nick saban was also there and pushed him down and called him names. Les thought that was mean and offered him on the spot. Tyrann has held a grudge ever since.

He attended an LSU camp and impressed the hell out of someone. Was not really recruited by other big SEC schools....I think this helps him play with a chip on his shoulder

We got him. They didn't.

A coach or someone involved with his HS contacted once of our asst. coaches and told him he needed to check him out, which he did and was very impressed.

all that stuff is blown out of proportion as far as i'm concerned. He went to the UTenn camp and beasted, then came to the LSU camp, got his offer and committed. He was a 4 star, and the top rated rivals cover guy that year. He didn't get those other offers because he was rock solid to LSU because of Wilson being on the staff. Anyone else would have been wasting their time. Look at Eric Reid's offer list:
LSU
NC State
Tulane
Stanford
Tennessee
Not quite like Mathieu's but similar. When you commit to LSU or anywhere else really early nobody is going to put the full court press on and waste their resources. TM7 is fantastic player who came in with high expectations. If anybody wants to run with an underdog story its Claiborne easily.

The question should be "what's the story behind Matthieu's LACK OF RECRUITMENT by other schools?"

Has Saban been asked by a reporter why he pass on TM7? Would love to know his response for not showing any interest.

From what I heard he was the only DB at one of the camps who could cover Jarvis Landry.

When Les went to meet with him his pockets were full of honey.
