re: Landon Collins to Willis, Get out of Louisiana

I think losing Gerald and Speedy really is as simple as this: They wanted to "get back" at LSU. Gerald, for the fanbase bashing his brother for choosing Alabama, and Speedy for LSU not offering Ellis, whether both Noel and Landon were responsible for the way their recruitments (or our reactions) played out or not

no… just, no…

i have a former pharm. tech that's speedy's cousin, and what she told me directly, the day of the game, was that basically they WERE a package deal to go to LSU… the ONLY way they were coming to LSU was TOGETHER… however, after the state championship game, they had a falling out, of sorts…

now, I don't know the severity of the falling out, but considering the outcome, it must have been pretty significant and they didn't work it out, like i thought they would… her brother, Bryce, is a coach at Karr, and tried his damnest to get them to LSU, but it is what it is…

Gerald picking Florida was a direct result of too much LSU pressure by momma, him rebelling against that pressure, and the fact that him and Speedy were on rocky terms, at which time, Speedy made his decision to aTm...
