Do these kids not have parents? Why would a coach have so much say in where a kid ends up?

I hope that your joking with this statement?

If not you need to sit down and think about it for a minute.

No, I'm serious. I went to school with a 5 star prospect and another 4 star prospect who went on to be all conference in the big 12. The HighSchool coach had no say in where those kids ended up. That year around 7-8 guys signed D-1 schollies.

My nephew is best friends with a DB on LSU's roster now. They went to school together, played ball, etc. His coach had no say in where he ended up either, it was up to him and his parents. Same went for the guys I went to school with.

I guess I will just have to come out and say it. Alot of recruits are black who come from broken homes and have hangers on influencing them. Alot of these ppl are coaches who latch onto talented kids when they are young and brainwash them in one direction or another for their own benefit. Now I am not saying that the coaches are literally saying where a perticular kid will or won't go. But if you don't think that these coaches opinions don't have alot to do with what choices these kids make then your fooling yourself.

Probably Crutch at St. Aug.

Saban and Burns had a lot of influence on him getting the job recommendation there. You know he will repay them by trying to get Fournette there...

Cow patties....

Landon left for the same reason that Cecil the Diesel got in trouble.

Lacy failed admission to LSU.


Who else ???????????????

Was Benny Saia at Port Allen? If so, I knew his family and they were huge Tiger fans. I wonder what happened

I thought the statement was for decarlos Holmes and the shiro deal. I dont think saia or JT pushes players away. i also dont care to evaluate why kids like Collins didn't come to lsu or why lf may not. I choose to focus on kids that want to strap up P&G. lc was replaced and the lf deal is a long way away. if Collins is lazy that wont change if true. being on another level and being lazy says a lot about character.

DeCarlos Holmes distingushed himself well before the Toshrio Davis deal.
He is person of poor judgment and, in my view, questionable character who has been grinding an ax with LSU since the (non) recruitment of Randall Mackey years ago.
That's a very bad combination.
Trouble has followed him everywhere he has gone...He couild be the next Beaar Bryant, but with the ethical risks, I cannot imagine a legitimate program wanting to be associated with him.
So, why did St. Aug hire him?

you don't replace LC, Nkemdiches, Fournettes of the world...

u are a fukin Moron. i love how u put these guys on a pedastal before they have taken one snap because they have 5 stars. half of these "elite athletes" or as stargazers like you would say, 5 stars are busts because they are primadonnas and dont work hard once on campus..just reference an old rivals lists and tell me how many 5 star irreplaceable guys you have even heard of. wow I wonder how lsu would have ever replaced Chris davenport if they didn't sign him at DT. After all he was a 5 star ranked top 15 overall at DT.

to illustrate your idiocy lsu has 9 guys mentioned as possible 1st rd picks. ZERO were 5 stars. you can tell a lot about these kids the way they handle their recruitment

Did saban recomend Crutchfeild to St. Aug?

Supposedly Saban and Burns wrote him letters of recommendation, but I've also heard so di Frank Wilson.

His step son or something is Bradley Slyve, who plays for Bama, not sure if he has some other kind of grudge against us.
