This is exactly what it is. He and majority of the other recruiting experts know what’s going on. That whole article was written just for clicks. I still see Ricks in purple and gold.

Our insiders are always the last to know when a recruit is going elsewhere.

This is what the Bama side is saying

-The expectation (at least from the BamaInsider POV) is the Crimson Tide will sign Desmond Ricks and/or Damari Brown.

They get Damari we get Ricks. Kelly isn’t letting Ricks get away. Ricks is a special talent. He has to think Toviano Ricks Smith Harris-would get DBU back immediately.

Based on the recent CB's I'd say they get Brown for sure. Hope that kills their chance with Ricks. What is your opinion on it?

I don't think 1st hand info is bad info. He was just paid a ton of money to stay.

Shea and Billy both have him in their final classes. It's just like Toviano. It's always been LSU but last minute always tenses up

I do not mean to be negative but it seems like this always happens. The recruit is always in the class predictions and then at the very end they do a 180. Once again I do not mean to be negative but hopefully he breaks the trend.

Two things:

1) Bama has never had an issue with signing elite talent with no clear playing time

2) Kelly doesn’t have a say in what an impressionable high schooler does

Letting “x” player get away is overused in recruiting. You give it your best shot and the chips fall where they will. You’re judged by the overall recruiting success. See Hootie Jones and Jamal Adams.

Someone needs to back the Brinks truck up to LB and DL especially a pass rusher.

Times have changed though. The days of sitting on Bama's bench for 2 years are gone. The portal has increased the impatience of kids to stick it out even at Bama.

As for Kelly he can impress upon the kids that if they go to Bama they mights sit and hit the portal and essentially waste a year or two of their career or come to LSU and have a chance to shine immediately, be a part of an up and coming program with a rich history of putting elite DBs in the NFL.

Lastly, LSU can negatively recruit Bama and Saban with him being old, tired and possibly retired in a year or two. The last two years he looks like he's worn out.
