Apparently he visited. Some cat fans are pumped:
One knowledgable poster stated the facts:
He was quickly and properly set upon by the mob.
Also some chatter by some Vol fans hoping Jones pursues him.
Lawson really wants to be at LSU...tough situation for him. Odd that rumors are that he has grade issues while his family and coach offer assurances that his grades are fine.

That’s right, an LSU commit is waiting to sign with LSU because he wants to see UK. This is real life, folks.

Nice to be competing with LSU and Florida for recruits

According to LSU sites, Lawson is having some clearing house issues that may not allow him to qualify for the Fall anyway. That’s the reason for the switch to a gray shirt offer. He claims to have the grades and test scores, but apparently, some of the courses may not qualify even though he passed them. He’s not happy about the switch, though, so he could sign with UK. Just hope it’s not another Porter situation.

I read that his grades are fine. The difference of opinion is whether the NCAA would accept an online summer school course he took and passed that is part of his core curriculum.
LSU doesn't think it'll pass NCAA muster. Denham Springs thinks it will, that it has state of Louisiana certification and a bunch of Livingston Parish students have taken the course and the course has been widely accepted by colleges as legit.
What's missing from the picture, as far as I can tell, is how that translates to what the NCAA thinks about the course. Harvard may accept the class for students applying there, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll pass the clearing house. So I'm not sure which side is right.
I'm neutral on whether LSU had legitimate reason to think they'd be stuck with an ineligible signee or if LSU simply wanted to make room for, say, Bower, and wanted Lawson just to delay entry.
Here's the thing I keep looping back to...if the NCAA isn't going to approve the course and the kid won't have enough core hours, there is little he can do now to rectify it. In other words, grayshirting wouldn't get him eligible, would it?
Bottom line, I don't know. There's info out there that points you both directions.

Did anyone hear his coach talk on 104.5 last night? I'm sure he's pissed about the situation, but he was diplomatic about it on the radio. What I found intersting was how hostile the old Redemptorist coach was about the situation. Can anyone shed light on that?

Send him to JT. If he can fast track Lacy, he can do it for anyone.

If he is not qualified how is he going to Kentucky. If it were Alabama I could understand because they sweep lots of dirt under the rug academically, do they do the same at Kentucky?
