Playin' ya!

Doing quite the bit of trolling, getting old to see recruits do this. Makes following recruiting a headache rather than fun.

Link please

LSU actually used to show me a lot of love even when I was at Ruston,” Buggs said. “It was like them and Louisiana Tech and Texas who recruited me even though I had to go to JUCO first. LSU had always just been after me. I remember back in high school I got invited to Boys from the Boot for Junior Day, and I went down and did that. It was definitely a good time, and I look forward to getting back down there soon.”

Buggs said he’s heard from multiple members of the LSU staff since picking up his scholarship offer from the Tigers, with the main press coming from one-time area recruiter Bradley Dale Peveto.

“Coach Pev is my guy,” Buggs said. “He’s let me know from the start that LSU really wanted me in their class. He’s been recruiting me hard. They just let me know that I have a spot and they want me to come back home for college and play for the Tigers. The next step is just making a visit.”

Buggs hasn’t circled any visit dates for colleges yet, but he does have some schools on his shortlist for summer campus trips given their interest this spring.

“I want to get back to LSU of course, then I want to also go up and see Alabama and Ole Miss,” he said. “I would also like to get over to Baylor and see them, and I want to get down to Miami and meet with that staff.

“I am really trying to keep things completely open right now. Since they recruited me out of high school and I know a lot about LSU, that puts them in a good spot. But I am definitely going to be open-minded about things this summer when I start looking around. I just want to see what everyone has to offer before I make a decision. That’s my main goal.”

At 6-foot-5 and 280 pounds, Buggs is ranked as the No. 1 weakside defensive end prospect in the country. All seven predictions on his 247Sports Crystal Ball are in for LSU.
This is his statement

I follow recruiting the first Wednesday of February.

Les is losing control of recruits at an extreme rate that needs to be stopped...now!

LSU was not one of the seven SEC teams in Isaiah Buggs' new top 10 list released Thursday. The Mississippi Gulf Coast defensive end and Ruston product, a fan of the Tigers since childhood, dropped the home-state program from his group of favorites — a change from the previous edition in February. ""Well I have gotten a relationship with these coaches on the top 10, including head coaches and position coaches," Buggs said. "Having a relationship is key ... Coaches must build a relationship something LSU has not been doing."

LSU isn't necessarily out of the mix for good, but has certainly lost some ground as other schools have appeared to Buggs to have made him more of a priority. "I haven't received a call from Coach O at LSU personally," he said, regarding Tigers recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron, when asked about the lack of recent contact from the program. "Also ever since I got to Gulf Coast, LSU didn't contact me until Auburn and Alabama offered me. I played a whole season and didn't hear from them."
