Wasn't thus guy high on our boards at some point? Looks like he's checking out A&M per Bruce Feldman. No link check out his twitter.

Damn I remember following this one closely and thinking we were going to get him. Any details on why?

He's proven to be a bust, not worth the hype.

Nope. Just saw it on twitter. But if you look at his numbers they are insignificant compared to how highly he was ranked.

How exactly has he proved to be a bust at this point? How closely do you follow UCLA football?

Man we wanted him bad when he was deciding. I feel like we've been lucky with several of these transfer bust guys over the past few years.
The jury is still out on Gunner Keil.

He is projected 4th on the cb depth chart for UCLA as a junior..
I would imagine a 5 star CB should be expected to be top 2 by his junior season at any program aside from elite DBU LSU

That's interesting. Corey Raymond really liked this guy, saw him as a corner early that would slide to safety shortly after.
His group did contact LSU about a possible transfer some time back, but LSU wasn't interested. This is nothing new as a lot of LSU's targets that they just missed on have called seeking a transfer. Their policy has basically been "you turned your back on us and now we're turning our back to you.'

Willis was a reserve for the Bruins the past two seasons. Has made only one start, last season. He played in nine games as a freshman, mostly on special teams. Willis can redshirt this season and will have two years of eligibility remaining.

I like that policy.

No, I don't think it is. He's proven himself as a turd character-wise, but also a pretty solid QB. He would have been starting for us last year if he'd not have proven to be a momma's boy punk.
Sucks for him. Mark my words though... He will be drafted, and prolly in the first three rounds.

Gunner Kiel was the savior of lsu's qb situation and he and the loss of Perriloux have been the biggest losses of the LSU program the last 6 years
Get those two guys on the field and college football might look a lot different

I do, too. It sends a message to the players/recruits that we only want those who want to be here. We are not a fallback option if your first choice didn't work out.

And they also have better kids coming up to work with than Priest who has two years left, but would have to sit a year.

Maybe we could make an exception for a decent QB. :/

I see no reason for such a "policy" and I'm skeptical that LSU/CLM has one.
I fully agree you take a skeptical approach to someone like that. You consider whether he is low character, low commitment or has a bad attitude. You consider very carefully whether he makes your program better or worse, and only proceed if you are really confident. Heck, you turn him down simply if you think he might take up a spot that you could give to someone better.
But it serves no purpose to just suspend judgement now and forever out of some sense of pride and spite. That's not in LSU's interest.

He's not that good.
7 tackles 1 pass breakup as a freshman
22 tackles 2 pass breakups as a sophomore
No INTs
Wasn't going to start as junior this year, reason for transfer

Everyone wanted Priest. It's funny how things turn out, although I would've loved to seen Corey Raymond coach him up.
His "package deal" counterpart is tearing it up, Tahaan Goodman.
