I don't have time to dig through all the speculation threads. Why do you folks all of a sudden think that Speedy went from 90% LSU to an A&M lock?

Which "insider" do you guys have that's got you so confident in this prediction?

FTR, all the "insiders" said that Andre Debose was a silent and a lock to LSU.

Those with connections to coaching staffs say that the optimism of the A&M side since Monday and the lack of communication on the LSU side are the tells here.

More will cite the mother and grandmother pushing LSU heavily in the last couple days are a sign of his intentions.

Recruiting is fluid. Debose was committed to LSU. Not sure anyone called him a lock, but the day he gave a silent, Urban called his phone 50 times to get him to slow his role. Needless to say, he ended up back w the Gators.

I think this one is still too close to call. Very fluid.

Enjoy the day RB!!

Which 18 year old you know make logical decisions? Think about it. We looks at all the positives at LSU but in a young soon to be stars head it doesn't matter. The grass is always greener til you rwalize its fertilized with bullshite

It is believed that he thinks A&M offenses would put the ball in his hands a lot more, which he wants. Today’s kids tend to see this as what they need to get to the next level.
Never mind that LSU runs a pro-style offense which belter prepares a kid for the NFL (as confirmed by Gruden yesterday). Never mind that LSU had 2 receivers over 1000 yrds while A&M had none….
There are those that lean towards flash and dazzle rather substance, quality and depth……

He watched our QB play in the Outback Bowl and said WTF........
Maybe he sees LSU as underutilizing kids with his skills. Not like we run an open passing offense. We will always be run oriented and that is great when we have studs at RB and a good OL

Do you have LEGITIMATE proof that speedy was ever 90% LSU?

Speedy has always talked highly of A&M, and has bounced LSU in and out of his top schools frequently. But everyone assumed he was trolling and having fun with the process. Now it seems as though he has been honest for the most part.

was not all of a sudden, been TAMU lean (very slight lean IMO) for a while.

quote:

Which "insider" do you guys
1 or 2 people who know him have posted here he loves TAMU's offense. I think he really likes Sumlin. He has said his role will be the deciding factor in his choice. Never raved about LSU at all.

Combine that with the "smoke" coming from the media, as they are there with him in St. Petersburg, and it paints a picture.
quote:

Plus didn't A&M sign 4 WR last year?
We signed 4 last year. TAMU signed 6 (maybe 7, 1 ATH don't know where he will line up). They have 2 committed this year, not counting Speedy of course.

Unfortunately, I got some info last night and Speedy is aTm bound...This sucks because I really wanted him. Nothing we can do about it. 4/5 is still good though guys. Don't let this one affect your mood because we are still getting some other big time prospects.

What happened with Speedy will be revealed in due time.

If I was speedy I would go to A&M too, his style would be utilized better in the spread.

If he has a first round talent it doesn't matter where he goes he will be drafted in the first round, but if he doesn't pan out to his full potential. A&M would be ideal for him to still get playing time.

Here's a few reasons...

Dural
Diarse
Leslie
Johnson
Smith (Desean)
I'm sure I missed a couple more

incoming...
Washington
Dupre
Quinn

Assuming Beckam and Landry go pro, that's still a lot of pass catchers to overcome.

If he chooses A&m, it is not the end of teh world! We want recruits that want to wear purple & gold! There is no sense of loyalty anymore with homegrown kids! Matter of fact, it is the opposite of loyal!

I think he doesn't like our offense, and likes their offense.

Regardless of the stats, pro-style offense, whatever, I just think he likes that offense more.

The two bowl games certainly didn't help our cause at all, regardless of who is going pro.

Play calling even though call has done a great job it still seems les had his say in the offense and kids like speedy need to be featured and have there touches. Personally I don't blame him if he went to aTm because of this but lsu would be fine.

Last 6 predictors on 247 have changed their Crystal Balls to A&M. It may be from the chatter following LSU's dismal passing game yesterday.
Speedy should take note that A&M is loaded with 4 and 5 star freshmen and sophomore WRs on it's roster.
