What if Saban knew Miles would offer Raheem if he committed to UA and Saban really thinks he's garbage, so saban offerd him so Miles will offer him and get him to flip to LSU thus secretly getting LSU to waste a scholly?
Wait, I thought only aTm did that!

Is that kid coming to the JR day this weekend?
He said its a 60 percent chance he makes it to lsu junior day. So in 18 year old language that means he will be there.

Seems like this young man is caught up in the "it's cool to want to go to Alabama" syndrome so many LA recruits now have.
I find it interesting that Bama just got two 5star WR's in the class ahead of him, and have another 3 star WR in Sylve ahead of him. Then comes the ditching on NSD of a 3-star Alabama recruit in favor of a higher ranked player. If anyone thinks that Bama is not going after 4 and 5 star WR's next year, it fooling themselves.
I think we need to straight up deal with him, let him come to the camp, evaluate him and tell him in no uncertain terms we'd be glad to have him but we'd expect a decommit after he thinks about it after a week or two. If not, we cool on him and go OOS after another equal or better WR.
Frankly, he has painted himself in a corner. If he decommits from Bama, they will pull his offer or stiff him close to NSD. If he stays with Bama, most other schools will cool on him. No one will waste a lot of energy on a 3 star who is already committed. And he'll have to watch every day for that 4 and 5 star WR commit by Saban, and worry about having that scholly available when NSD rolls around.
Seems like being close to Shyrone Carey, he would know the drill.

LSU coaches are not going to offer a kid just becasue he is committed to bama. they will look at film on him and evaluate him just like any other recruit. however they won't offer him just because alabama did.

Raheem, as a tiger fan, I say welcome to LSU. Work hard and you will get your offer.

Besides Julio are you really impressed with Bama's wr core lately?
Posted on 2/3/12 at 7:33 pm to Captain Crown
I personally haven't been impressed with their wrs but I did like most of them as prospects. Those kids have talent but something definitely has been missing. I will say that I was impressed with the kid that was killing TM7 on Jan 9. At least for that night.

heck thats all we can do is drop it. believe me if saban wants him he will get who he wants. until les miles quits his coaching blunders we will lose top recruits to lots of colleges especially saban.

according to 247 we offered hes not interested
Not necessarily true. In a Rivals.com piece, he mentioned trying to get in touch with Frank Wilson like three times to attend LSU's junior day this saturday. If he's so much committed to Bama then why and the heck is he so much trying to get to LSU's junior day.
