Jimmy is good at that. He gets info from FW, builds the kid up so people get excited about him and know his name and then the offer comes and the fan base feels like they know the kid must be a stud instead of some zero that nobody knew about. Same thing happened last year with the Holy Cross WR. I am sure it will happen again with Gage. I am sure there are more and will be more. He works for FW and CLM, not the Times Pic.

I didn't know that. Why not just make the offer though? If coaches like him enough.

How long before Bama hires Freakin Usain Bolt to be Head Track and Field Coach?

Jimmy, Shea, and Gary Laney have all been praising Gage for his performance at camp.

I wonder who the source is for Jimmy D, I know Demetric Warren from Varsity Prep just made his prediction for C Robinson to LSU.

Warren is a Bama homer too.

ETA: It actually appears as though he changed his prediction. Interesting.

So now we are trailing for brown, noil and Willis.

This might not be true, but I would be willing to bet there will be some disappointed people in an uproar because they weren't delivered the recruits they were promised.

I'm sure trailed at some point for many kids that play for us right now.

No. We aren't trailing for Brown or Willis. I think Brown has said all along that he wanted to make his decision before football season starts so we should now soon. Willis is hard to read but he has taken a ton of visits to LSU so that can only be a positive. We might be trailing for Noil, he might be trolling or we might be in the lead. No one except for himself and those close to him seem to know.

Even if we get all of the 5 stars we are in on people will still find something to bitch about. We'll get a visit from Deshawn Hand or Lorenzo Carter and have a hat on the table on NSD and the regulars will bitch about how we all said they were a lock when no did. Like Nkemdiche.

Good post bob.

I have followed recruiting on this board for years. There will be locks that go elsewhere. That's why I try not to get to caught up in it. It can make for a shitty day when they commit somewhere else.

However, we usually get someone we're not supposed to, so it evens out.

True. I would be looking for Kentavius Street this year as our annual East Coast NSD surprise.

Sonny and Shea squashed the A&M rumor. Hamm also contacted the Brown family. Bealoved will be at LSU

Nah. He actually does a good job. I've been reading his articles since last year and he was on top of some big time recruits before most other people. Plus he actually has some scouting/coaching experience which helps him greatly in his job. Dude works hard and does it with less resources.

Shea also posted this

quote:

Bealoved wanted to be in summer school but didn't have everything go through in time. So now she is focused on enrolling for the fall. In the meantime, TAMU is pressing Her to just enroll there. I don't see that shift happening though, and I see Brown at LSU.

That could change, but right now it's being made more of a deal than it actually is. We are closing in on her arrival date at LSU next month so we should know the facts then.

Which helped make this story become a huge deal.

ETA: Not saying it was a bad job or anything, he's right. Just wanted to post that so people don't think duckie was the only person with that info.

Landon Collins to LSU

Though I blame Collins for telling his friends(Dwayne Thomas) he was LSU bound and hyping the week before that he was going to rep the boot
