Man heard just a little while ago from someone who spoke to his father, that it looks like he ain’t coming to LSU. The only thing that looks good on LSU’s behalf and has kept a crack in the door is that his childhood friend Chris Hilton has already signed with LSU. Not sure if A&M or Bama is the favorite at this point he wouldn’t say,
He did say that LSU told the Thomas family that he wouldn’t get much playing time as a freshman, therefor it made it seem LSU didn't want him. It will be a family decision and we should know something by Wednesday. I get it we loaded at that position, but you’d want to keep your top talent in state right? Anyway just a little info on what I heard.

I mean atleast they're being honest and not being lied to. I mean geez the world ain't sunshine and rainbows and you aren't the second coming of Randy Moss. He could want to be like Boutte but the only reason Boutte got meaningful playtime is the mass exodus of WRs and the fact that he worked his butt off like a 2*, and even then he only started the last 2/3 games.

Not buying any of your OP. According to reliable insiders, LSU continues to push hard for BTJ.

I have a hard time believing the LSU staff would flat out say something to the effect of "he won't get much playing time as a freshman".

Maybe your sauce is reliable, but I ain't buying it.

It’s definitely true but I agree that seems unlikely lsu would say that.

Dude you don’t have to believe me. Regardless of what your insiders are telling you this is what the dad is saying to my source. Don’t shoot the messenger bro, I stand by my OP. I guess we’ll find out who sources are better, and if yours are all the better for LSU. #YouWin if not sucks to see top talent leave the state.

Doesn't mean they'll tell him he'll get early time. Honesty sucks, but its the only way to get solid kids now that the portal lets em leave

Do you really think his father would leak out the news randomly before signing day?

Wednesday is Brian Thomas' national spotlight day. I believe his father wants to hold that true for his son. We shall see what the verdict will be on Wednesday.

Geaux Tigers!

Yes it is BTJ’s day but this is a family decision from what I’m being told so I can see why he would leak this out.

Didn’t mean to call you out, bro. Sorry if it came across that way.

Agree with you that it sucks balls to lose talent like this to OOS competitors (particularly aTm)

I’m just going off of what I see every time I have to pass through there. I see a lot of bama “fans” there.

Not buying this. No coach would say this.

If they were honest, they’d say he’d have a chance at a lot of playing time and possibly starting if he worked really hard and improved in x, y, z, etc.

Because that’s the truth.

it's only a saga to you because you think it is. This is the normal process of recruiting an elite player. It's us dragging out the time with ad nauseam conversation about kids for months...
