Good luck to both, but we'll finish strong with guys like Moses, Wilson, Allen, Ignont, Stevens, another quality RB and OL. Didn't see room for both Swillings....

I bet they don't major in engineering.

Curley Hallmam is why Peyton didn't consider lsu
Partially correct and the fact that Josh Booty was coming here only to screw us with Peyton and go to baseball instead. Either way I don't think Peyton was coming here regardless.

Good luck to the Swillings but I'm actually posting regarding your Sig pic.
Love it!

Neither had committable offers at this point in time ... so not a big deal

Riiiiight.
So two born & raised New Orleanian athletes pass up free education at Tulane & move to the state of Georgia so they can get a good job four years from now?
Nah, this is smacks of a brainwashing/guilt-trip job by their Ga Tech grad pops, who btw did not major in engineering. The potential good education bonus is merely lagniappe.
Don't get me wrong, football-wise, I'm happy for them & glad they passed up the other SEC offers, too. I actually think BJS could potentially stay at RB and thrive in Paul Johnson's system. But he wants to play LBer...at Ga Tech??? Not Alabama? Not under Aranda?
Back to my earlier post about the mystery of legacy commits: I just don't get how kids who grow up in totally a different culture from their pops' growing up experience, but go seemingly out of their way to follow in his footsteps. Mannings, Mauti's, Swilling's, etc...
Ex: What if a dad grew up in Nicaragua and went to Managua U. He later moves to Kansas City and becomes a successful businessman. Then raises his kids in Kansas City and that's the only culture they know. Spanish is not even passed down. Why would both boys chose to leave the states for a totally foreign experience at Mangua U and pass up other equal, if not better, opportunities that are closer & more familiar?

While I'm glad that they chose G Tech and an education, I was over them not coming to LSU a long while ago. We have so few spots and so many other better prospects for our needs right now. I know Bruce was supposedly a good LB, but the guy at least gets to play RB if he wants now that he's heading to GT and Tre can get a chance to start early on GT.

Good for them. When I was being recruited, I really admired and wanted to play for my fathers alma mater. That's why I decided to bring my talents to Woodlawn High.

That's how I remember it. Peyton really gave some thought to LSU, but decided elsewhere. At least he didn't go to the West.
And I don't blame the Mannings for not coming here. If I had to move to MS, say an hour away from Oxford, and my kids were destined for college football, I'd make it very clear that it's LSU or some team from the East or out of the SEC.

Yeah, we looked pretty average curb stomping tGrind in the OB in two years ago.
While Tech is certainly not the football elite, with the TO and Paul Johnson, we will always have the potential to make runs like 2009 and 2014. And a couple of players like the Swillings on the defensive side of the ball (or at Bback, in the case of Bruce) could be catalysts to another such run.
Glad to have them aboard.
THWG!

I think that's great, cause their gonna need an engineering degree when they graduate to make up for being a low round draft pick or an undrafted free agent in 4 years.

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.
Also LSU was in the dumps during that time frame, (especially Peyton's). A little different now, several championships later.

You guys are insane if you think Archie was going to let any of his offspring attend LSU.

After all of us watching the way Ben Simmons' year went down in BR, if you had a one-and-done lottery pick for a son, would you send him to CJJ?
