Im Excited but not excited about this at the same time because reading this article gives the feeling he is coming to recruit for Bama and we don't have a shot at all. I understand wanting to see LSU but come for the right reasons. This guy is rock solid to Bama I hope he takes the visit but try to really see what LSU has to offer
Leatherwood may have serious interest but Cowan I don't know

From article: "Both Cowan and Leatherwood are known as the primary recruiters for the defending national champions in the 2017 class. Like LSU pledges Tyler Shelvin and Austin Deculus, Cowan and Leatherwood are trying to lure prospects like 5-star defensive tackle Marvin Wilson to team up with them in Tuscaloosa, Ala."

The way I look at this is:

Do you think it is more likely that a recruit or two will sway another recruit or two or that our coaching staff will sway the recruits?

I trust our staff and therefore see more potential gain than loss here.

Which game is he visiting for? Because if it's the Bama game I'm sure Aranda's defense will have gained a lot of attention from the top defensive prospects by then.

If he comes and pulls that same type of horseshite that punk did last year and cheers for the other team, I urge the section to take care of the matter appropriately

Well, wasn't there a prospect sent home in the middle of an Offical Visit because he was recruiting for the team he had given a prior verbal to? I guess Miles and company will have to keep a close eye on him and send his arse packing if he starts "anti-recruiting."

It seems like the state of Alabama produces two or three 5* linebackers every year.

I iz jelly.

On his official visit, if you are solidly aware of his intent to just recruit for bama and degrade LSU the whole time, then stick him with a seriously flamboyant personality that will cut that shite right out as his player host, put him with anyone that is that alpha type "s**t talking" guy, regardless of position, also make sure he has as little access to other recruits as you can possibly have....just nip it in the bud....honestly this years LB class revolves around one name and one name only, we all know who that biblical character is.....that said.....I know this is not ever gonna happen as you never can actually speculate as to a 17 year olds true intentions and would want integration to maybe sway him away from bama and have the opposite effect on his possible motives...and wouldn't isolate and treat any recruit that way....but hell. It'd be nice to think someone on staff with proper Intel would have the stones to do it. Forget the kid if he is only coming to recruit against us. But this is the world we live in, where high school kids get the royal treatment just to take that kings ransom of a weekend that virtually every kid would dream of and crap on it like the spoiled brats we've helped them become. Its our fault gentlemen. Its threads like this. Its the very recruiting board itself that is to blame. And I'm a big time follower and hypocrite myself. But god, would it be so awesome to just stick him in Weiner schnitzel off highland with a cats bus to wait on all day while the real OV have the planned visit. I'll dream of that tonight, and before someone calls me out for being too mean...uh...go bite a big one, this kid will be a big man on whatever campus for 3-4 years then potentially make millions. And I'm on a forum at 330 in the AM talking about him. I'd say one afternoon of a F you right back to him is fair enough.

When is the last time a freshman LB saw significant playing time at Bama or LSU? I don't know about our depth but that could be a difference if we gave him an opportunity for playing time out the gate other than special teams.

I went to his Twitter and I'm pretty sure I saw him retweet a Bama fan saying Cowan is just going for the free trip to recruit for them.
