Question About Shyheim Carter and Alabama
Posted on 1/27/16 at 11:35 am
Posted on 1/27/16 at 11:35 am
With how confident Alabama fans have been on Carter and how little attention we have given to him, is it crazy to think Alabama might be pulling one on us?
Could they actually have told Shyheim to show some interest in LSU just to distract us from going all in and using all of our resources/time on Fulton and Mullen?
I've felt this way before when Hootie Jones already committed to Bama but then suddenly showed interest in us again after we made leeway with Jamal Adams.
Not a believer in conspiracy theories and I don't want to make any judgments about a potential player wanting to stay home to be close to his kids but, it just makes you wonder...

This is 100% conspiracy theory.
Sometimes 18 year olds change their minds on a dime, especially when the reality starts to set in about everything their decision entails. He is having second thoughts about going farther away from home. This is normal.

Coaches are only allotted a certain amount of time to visit any one prospect during this time of year. They're gonna spend every second their allowed with each target left on the board. There isn't really an issue with "wasting resources". The only issue would be if other targets got turned off by LSU taking Carter, but Fulton and Mullen are higher on the board and know that. Carter is an ATH and not a massive priority, just too talented not to take if he wants in.
In short, you're paranoid.

I was reading an article I thought was hilarious last night that had Bama taking the #1 recruiting class on signing day, and the key was Shyheim. It would be funny if he signs with us and Bama finally gets knocked out of that position. Over the last five years (2011-15), only Alabama, Florida State and Ohio State have a better average recruiting ranking than LSU. Those also happen to be the only three teams to have won national titles in the last five years. People say "LSU was close in recruiting but hasn't had the same results." Close isn't good enough. #1 becomes #1. Let's geaux Tigers!!!

LSU isn't stupid. Trust me when I say they will not let Carter's attention detract them from recruiting the others.

So, you make a mid or early week unannounced visit to throw us off the Fulton/Mullen recruitments?
C'mon Man!

Dude, stop believing all the speculation and hype you hear on this board... Nobody HERE is closer to the situation that Jimmy... Check out his post from a few days ago and then just let this shite die til he commits to us

LSU is meeting with Fulton sometime this week and Mullen was here last week I believe. Consider the position they play. Multiple recruits will be pursued for their positions due to depth. They will not "feel" disrespected if LSU shows interest in Carter. It's too late in the process for "feeling" disrespect or being afraid of competition. Right now LSU is firming up their position with the commits and the top targets on the board, as well as calculating all options.

You aren't crazy.
This has happened before and does happen now.
Don't know if this is the case here, but it happens.

What If other way around ? Lol. Jk. Oos committs get reality checks as it move gets close. Bama coaches will come calm him down and imo he's all bama.
