There's a good chance he encouraged not to go to LSU by Alabama. This is a good player, we should keep in touch with him but at some time, if he is still strong with Bama, then we need to do whatever we need to get an OOS guy in here that is as good or better.

If he keeps his 3 star and Bama "cools" on him when they pick up 5stars later in the year, then it may be too late for him at LSU. Or anywhere else, if Bama pulls one like they did this year with an instate recruit.

Just checked 247 sports. Alabama has offered at least 5 of the top 15 WR's for 2013, and I stopped checking there. Falkins is #27.

Add in the 2 5star WR's they signed this year, Kenny Bell (if he's a senior) and Sylve, and it gets quite crowded there.

What's crazy with this is LSU needs a big receiver this year much less next year. I just wish this kid would have at least given LSU a chance at Junior Day before committing to Bama.

Bama just seems to offer every top 20 player at each position. With only 25 next year, this is not sustainable without cooling on someone.

I'm not goin we don't need him because he committed to Bama, but LSU needs to explain the playing time possibilities to this young man, and hopefully he will give them his ear.

who knows why he didn't show up. lets not forget his former coach and cousin is syronne carey who played under nick saban at lsu.
