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?

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.

Agreed on the character part...however if you have a chance to fulfill a lifelong dream one should follow it.

IMO, part of the problem of "holding" so many spots for top targets until AA games. Personally I would have pushed harder for the more shaky recruits commitments early and expanded the offer base at those positions if I couldn't get them.
