That is just it, there should be no impact. The problem isn't the kids its the following that is given them.

I thought Avery told the staff on NSD that he had changed his mind and was going to Bama? Then he faxed his LOI over.

Speedy. He said for the longest he wanted to go to A&M but people said he was trolling. Yeah towards the end he said that LSU was in it but his actions beforehand said otherwise.

And these kids only give false information because we give them so much attention. If we don't obsess over where these kids might go all of these games will fall by the wayside.

I'm inclined to believe all of the people who are saying he told the staff he was coming to LSU. If true, that is 100% trolling.

I guess I should rephrase, he wasn't trolling at first. We got it backwards. We thought he was trolling at the beginning. He had been telling Sumlin(and everyone else around him) for a lot longer that he was going to A&M. He fricking left LSU off of his top 3 way back in September. But people kept insisting he was going to LSU. Probably felt disrespected that he wasn't being taken seriously so he started fooling with people.

I guess I'm just really having a hard time blaming kids for what they say when adults (including us fans) are the ones orchestrating all of this. We're just building this big stage for them so they're creating a show for us. And each one is trying to top the last in shock value. I find it hard to blame them for that. We act like children following these guys, stalking them basically, and expect them to act like adults.

He was committed to LSU for over a year. Well apparently he had decided to go to Tennessee but didn't tell the staff. Kiffen gave his dad Lance Guidry a job and wanted another defensive back, I think Darren Myles, to commit. But Myles didn't want to attend Tennessee if they were recruiting Jackson.
So, Jackson said he couldn't sign the papers on national signing day (2/4/09) because his mom wasn't in town but he was solid to LSU.
Well the next day (2/05/09), after Myles signed with Tennessee, Jackson signed with Tennessee.

I didn't know the story behind this so I went searching for his wikipedia page:

quote:

In an interview on October 22, 2013, Drew revealed that he is an ordained minister. He also stated that he would rather sack one Johnny Manziel-sized duck than ten duck-sized Johhny Manziels.
