Wish we could have had them both, but they made excellent choices though. Good school and following their father's legacy. Good luck to both.

Yeah good luck to both of them but enjoy being at GA Tech and just being on an average team that does nothing in the ACC
The Manning's now the Swilling's that didn't even sniff coming to LSU yet makes their living off of Louisiana

So Shaq needs to tell his son to go to UCLA?

Best of luck to them but we should stop bashing recruits or allowing alters to do it

I don't really get the legacy thing.
Maybe I somewhat get the Manning situation cuz of the Ole Miss/anti-anything-LSU household. Still, Peyton, Eli and Cooper grew up as Louisianians in the Garden District and yet they all chose to go OOS for other state schools. Now maybe Archie had the boys watching Ole Miss games on tv during the times they couldn't make it to Oxford in person so growing up in that atmosphere left them with no ties to Louisiana schools.
The Swilling boys, on the other hand, had to have a hard time finding Ga Tech on tv. And if they were forced to go Ga Tech games with Papa Pat, that gameday experience had to pale in comparison to an SEC experience (LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, etc.) I could see Pat bragging about his school & glory days and the boys thinking "So what? Ga Tech is irrelevant."
And then we have our own legend in Shaq, but the legacy thing isn't a factor for his son.
Someone explain.

You are laughing at a school that you could never possibly get into?
Posted on 8/23/16 at 10:45 pm to LSUFreek
This is a great school and there is an education first!
Posted on 8/23/16 at 11:07 pm to LSUFreek
Georgia Tech is a great school, they were a package deal (which limited some options), and the current DC there played with Pat at Georgia Tech. Makes sense to me.
Posted on 8/23/16 at 11:26 pm to tigerskin
Their options weren't limited.
Posted on 8/23/16 at 11:35 pm to lsu31always
Bruce was more in demand than Tre. That limited their options

I just learned something about myself. I don't get pissed at instate kids for leaving state as long as it's not to another SEC team.
Good luck, Swillings.
Good luck, Swillings.

Curley Hallmam is why Peyton didn't consider lsu

I won't lie that I wish LSU would have landed them both. But The good news is they are probably reeling in bigger fish

GA Tech, MIT, and Cal Poly.....
The top 3 Engineering schools (not in order). A couple of 4 star athletes thinking beyond football.

Pretty much. Especially if UCLA was a top 5 program. Why in the F would he "tell" him to come to LSU. Thatvwoukd 've pretty selfish, don't you think
