quote:

"Landon and I talked about his choice the night before," Willis said. "We decided not to tell Mom, though, because we thought it would be funny. But man, we had no idea things would get so crazy."


quote:

"I didn't know the camera would ever turn to me, or that I'd be on the microphone," said Justin, a New Orleans native and lifelong LSU fan, "but I wouldn't change anything because that's how I felt. I still feel like LSU would be a much better place for Landon than Alabama. It's hard as a mom to see your kid make a decision you feel in your heart isn't right."


quote:

Justin has made no secret of her criticisms of Alabama. She claims Nick Saban never bothered to discuss curriculum, disrespected her and Landon's father, and that he made playing time commitments to Landon that he couldn't keep. (Saban declined to comment for this story.) While Alabama has extended an offer to Willis, the Tide aren't high on his list. "I just don't feel comfortable there," he said.


I feel we have a very very good shot at landing Willis...this is not the first time I have thought this...the article only strengthens how I feel

I have a feeling this thread is going to suck.

No offense.

This is the kind of stuff that happens when you put pussy on a pedestal.

Landon made a mistake not coming here. IMO he is better than Micah Eugene. He is buried in the depth chart in a more talented defensive backfield.

"He saw how they courted Landon for two years, and his experience has not been comparable. They don't want anything to do with me because I won't put up with their bulls---," said Justin, adding that Alabama coaches who used to always pick up her calls now pass her off to assistants.

I'll take a top 100 DL over a top 100 DB anyday.

Gerald come on down.

Willis will sign with LSU..it's the perfect story. If you haven't noticed, they love attention. Why make the attention stop? Sign with LSU and the Collins/Willis brothers are talked about every year on gameday. And the mom.

This article doesn't mention GW III father he is the key to all of his son's decisions not his Mother. My sources told me his father doesn't want to be in the limelight with all of media bullcrap.

Damn, she hammers Nick Saban but I definitely believe every word she says. Nick is a businessman and that's how I see his recruiting. He might be a dick but he gets the results.

Willis is going to Florida, said in the article. Don't get your hopes up.

Could have seen the field at LSU this year and not just on special teams.

Although Gump nation is about to win its third BCS in four years, those comments don't sit well with future player/recruits.
