Eh, every time a recruit takes an OV and the visit goes "very well" (which is like 99% of the time), fans start beating their chests that they have that recruit in the bag. Look what we were saying about Arden Key, now that he's been out of Baton Rouge for a week or two we're more or less back to hoping. Nah I wouldn't let the Ole Miss fans tell you it's over just because he took an OV. I'll be convinced of him being all Ole Miss once he cancels our visit, which he hasn't.
Everything you have said makes 100% sense...however, they are offering him something that we cannot and will not offer...the starting Mike spot the day he steps on campus.
That is an issue with Peters too. State is offering him a starting safety spot the moment he steps on campus.
I'll say this too, Ole Miss is perfecting the bagman strategy. It has become a cultural phenomenon in Oxford for adult, wealthy men to descend on the small village in Lafayette County on Ole Miss' last big recruiting weekend to hang out with the recruits at the Library and other establishments. One can safely assume (so I am told) that high fives are not all that is being exchanged between these weird-o adults and top end recruits.

I really don't think LSU is any better or worse than any program regarding going the "extra mile" to land recruits. But that's just speculation. And while playing time is still a huge factor, I think players are getting smarter about picking a better developmental program over getting thrown on the field in august. There's a reason guys go to DBU instead of being able to start as a freshman at Texas A&M. And LSU can sell Lewis on being the only linebacker in this class, if nothing else. I'm just saying we have a good shot at the guy and the only solid evidence that can be used to say otherwise would be a cancellation of his visit on the 30th. Oh and regarding Jamal Peters, while I think he'd be a great addition, I don't see the stress on him. Xavier Lewis could very well end up at safety and we have multiple guys from last year's DB class who are looking to get PT at safety.
