Jimmy Smith on Breeland Speaks
Posted on 1/21/14 at 5:15 pm

Jimmy Smith is about the only so called recruiting expert out there that is usually correct. He does a good job. However, why would he say that "it's been Breeland Speaks' dream to play for LSU his entire life"but says if he had to pick right now Jimmy sees Speaks picking OM? I don't get this comment.

Ole Miss did a better job recruiting him

He's still mad for LSU backburning him until after the UAAG.
He will make LSU sweat and then flip to LSU on NSD.

That's what Jimmy Smith does. He hedges and therefore is never wrong. Remember, he was the same dude who perpetuated the "Saban and LF to Saban" rumors during the UA game, then said "don't kill the messenger".

LSU didn't have Speaks as a priority commit early in the recruiting cycle; but Ole Miss did. It is true that Speaks has stated several months ago that LSU was his "dream school", but Ole Miss recruited him earlier and harder and now he feels a sense of loyalty towards them. It's actually a good character trait to have.

Dreams fade if was not recruited properly but I'm confident he will flip.

If OM recruited him harder and he was a second or third option for LSU, I'm sure that means OM has a higher need for his services - thus a better chance at playing time. Just because a player dreams his whole life about playing for LSU doesn't mean he dreams about riding the bench at LSU.

OM has been on him from the start.

And as stated before, the "don't shoot the messenger" crap about LF to UT and Saban to follow, yeah, that was literally MINUTES before LF repped the boot.

Everybody I've spoken to at Ole Miss isn't that concerned about it.
There's a small chance he'll flip 10-15% at best, but things will have to go very bad this weekend in Oxford.
1) We've been on Speaks from the beginning.
2) His family and the Ole Miss coaches have a great long-standing relationship .
3) Two of his teammates are headed to Ole Miss (Rod Taylor, Dayall Harris).

Because he picks every possible outcome and then proclaims how right he is all the time when one of the 10 possibilities he named is right.

Like when he was calling Saban to the Texas and LF to follow.
