lawson vs. riley. thats the part I don't get. why would staff pull schollie from lawson to give riley. thats how it worked out. must be some reasoning behind it if only riley helps with 2014 curtis kids. lb was not a position anyone suspected to take 3 spots.
LSU didn't want to take the risk for a player like Lawson. It's that simple. When a kid is not qualified, it is a tenuous situation. It sounds like the kid did everything he could from the end of his junior year on. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough all things considered.
Pride is a funny thing. Even in this thread you have posters swearing that there was no risk and that LSU dropped Lawson for a higher ranked player. The truth is that LSU didn't drop Lawson...it only asked him to wait a semester so that LSU could ensure that he was qualified. And, LSU didn't replace him with a high ranked player...they replaced his spot with a last minute offer to a guy who was a marginal offer for a long time.
Those people won't acknowledge that truth because then their hurt pride and anger is no longer justified.

So why did they make him an offer and accept his commitment last Spring? If Lawson's grades were an issue, then LSU should have never offered. Lawson has done above and beyond what was needed from the beginning of his junior year until now. Yet, LSU waited until 10 days before national signing day, 1 day after his official visit, to spring the grey shirting idea on him. LSU coaches didn't even do it in a professional manner. They called his high school coach and left a message for the high school coach to call Sam Nader.
LSU is 100% in the wrong here and they are using the "grade issue" as a cop out. Lawson will be eligible for the 2013 season, and LSU coaches know that. Moneyg has chosen to believe the Les Miles spin even though Les lies to the media all the time.
