From OM board:
"DL Rodney Sopsher has been reclassified to the 2020 class. Rodney is the big brother of 5-Star DL Ishmael Sopsher. Rodney attended a Jucoin Kansas his freshman season and left for S West CC this past summer. He took a redshirt this season to get his grades back in order. He’ll play his redshirt sophomore year at S West CC the ‘19 season and sign and transfer to the D1 level in December.
As you know Rodney and Ishmael have said they are a package deal. Now they are in different classifications. This could change the dynamics somewhat of the “package” deal. "

Better bro name Rod: Sopsher or Belding? Definitely Belding.
Better DL: Ishmael Sopsher or Principal Belding? Toss up.

Is this legit? Or some troll spewing garbage?

Vol was any of this known by our staff?

I'm honestly fine with this. Getting Ika softens the blow tremendously and we have 3 weeks to go HAM after our remaining DL targets. It also frees up the Rodney scholarship to maybe take a chance on a grade risk (Parker/Pickens) and Hampton.

I guess that frees up 2 ships for LSU to use. I didn't think Ish would ever do anything here anyway.

It's been time to drop Ish for quite some time anyway. When we offered Rod because Ish said that was what he needed to see to commit, but then still wouldn't commit... it told the whole story right then and there. He was never coming to LSU no matter what we did.
Ish has big potential but there are several other guys still on our radar that have lower ceilings but are more developed right now. Get two of them. Rod wasn't worth wasting a scholly. If nobody is available on NSD to take the spot set aside for Rod, then use the spot on a transfer or save it for next year.

Honestly I'm not even mad. The Ish drama is exhausting and even though he might turn out to be a stud he has a lot of red flags as well.
I'm more interested in getting at least 1, hopefully 2 of Pickering, Young or Moore.
One plus Christian Williams would be good too considering the depth of 2020 DL talent available. I think we need another CB because I'm not counting on Hampton to stick.

There is a reason my comments on Sopsher over the last year has always included the statement "you guys do this to yourselves every year".
The reason I say that is because you guys (not you Egg) do this to yourselves every year. EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

I think we all can safely say this is the writing on the wall that Ish is bama bound. Passing up a sure thing at LSU this coming season to reclass to the 2020 class. Yea, Ish is gone to bama. Apparently Nick's been working on this. I think it works out better for LSU anyway.

question for the group: La is richer in DT's in 2020, do any of them track to be an early enrollee for 2020, or even better a re-classification to the 2019 class? Shouldn't be a heavy lift to optimally tailor a Lab School player's (Roy)graduation.

Expect Ish's ranking to improve over the coming weeks.
Posted on 1/18/19 at 1:16 pm to The Egg
I'll get downvoted, but I'm glad they are going to Bama, especially if we end up with two of the DLs remaining on the board.
Posted on 1/18/19 at 1:28 pm to The Egg
I find it hilarious that when people mentioned a two for one being negative everyone in here was “you get the best DT in the country, Hell yea you take it”
Now since Rodney has been reclassified and it’s assumed ish dropped in rankings and goes to bama it’s “that was a stupid idea to begin with”
I got blasted for saying this was a bad idea months ago, screw them, go to bama and enjoy the gump life. I hope they like inbreds bc that’s half of their fan base

Well this all but assures he’s Bama bound now. Saban didn’t have the room for both brothers so he magically made the problem go away. Now he will take Ish this class and lock him in and probably still not take his brother next year.
Posted on 1/18/19 at 2:04 pm to The Egg
I guess everyone will finally get what they want. Ish is getting to go to bama without repercussions of spurning his brother and LSU as the only team to offer both. Everyone on this site should be happy about not wasting a scholly on Rodney. Win, win.

Hopefully O learned from last year with the Surtain BS. Once he gave Sophser exactly what he wanted by offering his brother and then Sophser still didn’t commit O should have seen the end game right then and there and moved his attention in a different direction. Yes it would be nice to keep all the homegrown talent here but don’t hang yourself out to dry and risk looking like a fool while an 18 year old kid plays games with his recruitment. It’s obvious the Bama guy in Amite has Ish locked in or else he would have been over the moon the be able to play with his brother at LSU together like he says he wants. I hope Ish knows after he signs with Saban all promises are null and void and he will never see his brother wearing a Bama uniform next to him.

To be honest I am not in favor of a
2 for 1.
I would like to see Sophsher at LSU but
I always thought that if he really wanted to be at LSU he would already have given his commitment or signed.
Truthfully if his heart is elsewhere then that is where he belongs.

There has been a question whether Rodney would even be eligible for months. Now that he’s not and has to move to 2020, this is:
1. A shock to everyone, despite Ish mentioning this almost exact situation a couple weeks ago.
2. Some kind of master plot by Saban, when it’s just a player not taking care of his academics.
3. Supposedly a failure by our coaches who also are being accused of having no idea this was going on being blindsided by it (not true)
