Anyone think it was O who told Arik Gilbert to keep quiet about his LSU decision?

In interviews Gilbert said that for the past month he's known it was LSU and he was talking to O and Brady behind the scenes. You think O told him to not say anything about it and let Bama think he was coming there till he committed to screw with them?

Saban's hurt our recruiting board with that tactic in the past, wouldn't mind if he was on the other end of it this time.

If true, I’d of rather they waited until the last signing day. Let them think he was coming the whole time then on NSD, he announces LSU

No. He didn't even tell his parents. O gave him time to announce on his own schedule.

My Gutt Feeling is O "got burned" w the "wait till signing day BS"
and his approach now is
"I ONLY HAVE THESE AVAILABLE SPOTS... THIS IS LSU, YOU ARE EITHER IN or SOMEONE ELSE will take that spot"

This is the fewest "Openings" LSU has had in regiment, and in reality, the "Recruits" could be the ones missing out

Also, the early signing day period has changed the way on when recruits commit.

I seriously doubt coaches would do that, this is made up in your head.

All these conspiracy theories. Hey, what if Saban told Gilbert to commit to us now and then sign with Bama on signing day.

If so, why wouldn't he wait til signing day to break the news. That would hurt the Gumps more.

In one of his (Arik) interviews he said that the coaches did not even know.

No one told him to keep anything quiet. He did it all on his own.

In fact, Coach O had no clue he was going to commit to LSU until he did. He was as shocked, thrilled, and ecstatic as everyone else.
