I thought you brought up the Pollard speculation. Don't backtrack now!

I didn't start this thread.

I'm just saying the LSU coaches thinking/knowing he's coming and that info filtering out to the public won't necessarily happen on the same day. They might sit on that deal for a while. It's not like there are any signing deadlines anymore or anything - if the kid has the grades or whatever to enroll in summer school he might do it soon, or maybe it'll happen in July or something and the coaches will have known about it for six weeks.

But what's being thrown around on that campus right now is that they think they're getting Odoh and Pollard. Odoh is obvious; the way it was explained to me on Pollard is "Dude, why do you think they hired Kirby?" And if Georgetown, which is where he was going when Kirby was there, and Missouri are out of the mix and it's down to LSU, Mississippi State and Alabama, it's not like this is an especially difficult possibility to see happen.

Hell, Pollard had LSU on his initial list a year ago. I know how hard it is to believe that Trent couldn't hold his interest in this place, but it's not like this program isn't capable of pulling quality players from Mississippi.
