I don't mind him coming because you never know although highly unlikely but you can't burn any bridges in recruiting. He just wouldn't spend any one on one time with any recruit. I would keep a player on him 24/7. If he wants to see the campus that is fine but if he goes to take a piss, his shadow would be holding the door open for him.

it's about spending time on your best opportunities. If you know the kid is solid to bama AND he is going to try and recruit for them while visiting, they shouldn't waste their time 

Not singling anyone out, but i'll trust the staff on this one. If the staff think that they can turn someone, i'm with it. Btw, I'm sure they'd be alerted during the visit if a guy actually tried this. You don't get the prestige that this staff's got from being a bunch of dumbasses. Relax

Bama has a pretty damn good pitch. I'd like to keep anyone and everyone associated with them the frick away from LSU recruits. JMO.


Don't you think bama's recruiters have already hit our targets with their black magic and other marvelous 'pitches'??

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.

for sure

but I can see where making friends and deciding to go somewhere together plays a role

it's why teams get commits to help them recruit

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

If LSU flips Cowan I will go on record and predict that the worm has changed in LSU's favor. Cowan is that good. He could change the outcome of a game between the Tigers and Bama.

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."

Pretty sure the coaches are ready to shut that shite down in a heartbeat should it occur.

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

Can't be scared of bringing a kid on campus.

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.

I see I didn't word that worth a shite. I was trying to say that because the state produces top tier lbs every cycle, they need to leave guys like Moses and Cowen alone.
