re: Woody ranting about LSU on Around the Horn

yeah, it's no biggie. I'm remember a while back Dale Brown was open about starting to recruit Shaq when he was in junior high. It happens if a young kid is that much of a standout.

And I'm not sure about this, but wasn't this a kid who was participating in the recent LSU football camp? If so, and the kid was holding his own against juniors, then I can't think of any good reason Miles or whoever should not have offered the kid on the spot. He impressed the staff and this is their way of letting him know; it should motivate him to keep improving. The kid has to keep doing well for the next three years before he can even accept the offer, and if he doesn't it won't even matter. I don't see a down side for any of the parties involved.
