WHat is up with the conspiracy theories?

I have ignored the most asinine of conspiracy theories in recent weeks, but someone has to try to bring the loonies back to Earth.
The latest of board theories is that Tony Hull and the Kansas 5 are working together in an attempt to get him a job at LSU. Really? Think about that for a minute. A guy is getting paid six-figs to coach and recruit at a school, and you think he is scheming with recruits to get the gig in Baton Rouge? First of all, I know all of those kids, and not a damn one of them would commit for those reasons. Furthermore, most of their parents are on hand. Can we stop with the foolishness.
This is all an elaborate hoax by China anyway.

Kids want to feel wanted.... they feel like they are priority one for Kansas. Coach Hull is recruiting his butt off. He's been to my area school several times. He is hustling!

I don't know, but I hope O and company are paying attention. If this guy can get kids from NOLA to commit to Kansas(whether or not they stick isn't the point imo), we need that guy on the staff in some capacity.
Imagine what he could do in NOLA with the LSU brand behind him. I mean, this is next level type shite.

Someone posted in another thread about Hull being a UL-L ex player who despises LSU.

I agree with you, we have some very interesting characters on here. They really hate to hear the truth so they downvote if it's unpopular and honest. Very well said Coach Hull is a great person and would never resort to any foolishness like that.

You'll take literally any opportunity to remind people that "you know these kids personally", won't you? Seriously, congratulations.
It's very odd that several high-level players from Louisiana just randomly committed to a God-awful football program halfway across the country that's coming off of stellar 0-12 and 2-10 seasons, which is located in one of the most boring states in the country with sub-par food, women, and entertainment, and has virtually nothing to offer 4 star football players in the short or long term aside from an opportunity to be corn field tractor operators for the rest of their lives. Not to mention the fact that they live in the hotbed of college football right now and there are literally 80+ better options for them across the country anyway.
When you take all of those facts into consideration, what conclusion would you draw? Is it possible that something odd is going on behind the scenes? I'd say that it's a lot more likely than not. Is it Hull? Maybe or maybe not, but at this point I have no problem watching people throw ideas around and I won't consider any of them "conspiracy-ish" until I see a good reason that these kids would commit to fricking Kansas, because thus far there is none. Get off your high horse bud

Stop being naive.
Exhibit A
2017 KU football commits
Exhibit B
2016 KU football commits
So, he landed the 31st rated player for 2017 from LA and that's the only one he landed. And he landed unheralded players from LA in 2016.
In two years, he's landed 4 unheralded prospects from NOLA. In one day, he landed 5 pretty highly ranked players from NOLA, all of which had solid offers on their resume.
It doesn't add up. There's a RB vacancy at LSU. He's a RB coach. That adds up.
If he's such a great recruiter, we would have heard of him before today. Most probably haven't. This is clearly orchestrated, and you're a fool if you don't believe this is to get Hull the job. All these kids you like may be looking at some serious repercussions when this comes out.
I'm not saying it's Hull specifically, but someone is driving this boat. I doubt he's gotten one top 20 LA prospect to visit on a junior day in his 2 years there. They pay for this visit with their own money. But all of a sudden these kids have money to fly to Kansas? A school coming off a 2-10 season? Get out of here.

All that hustle. And 4 commitments from players in 2 years from NOLA who don't crack the top 750 in the rankings.
I guess he suddenly got them to "believe" coming off that 2-10 season and parlayed it into 5 blue chip recruits from NOLA in one day.

I think this is where'd I'd start looking at the connections. So, if he's so connected, why couldn't he get anyone from NOLA last year to fly to Kansas for a junior day? The fact that their parents went is even stranger. They not only spent money for their kids to go, but they're flying/driving to Lawrence, KS, staying in a hotel a few nights, spending money on food, etc.
Most of these kids come from pretty poor backgrounds. I'm not saying all do, but I don't see the name Manning behind any of them. Or Beckham. Or Herb Tyler's kid.
I'm willing to be out of the 5 who committed at least 3 come from humble backgrounds. And I doubt they have the disposable income to travel to Kansas for a few nights, particular if they're traveling as a family. It'd make more sense if they went by themselves. That'd only cost one round trip ticket. And they could stay with the players.
Smells like big time bullshite what you're selling.
Also, is this not weird to anyone?

C'mon, kids from La. committing to Kansas? First, it's a basketball school and secondly Kansas will suck again in football and continue to be the dumpster fire they are. Don't care if coach H has La. connections, no way these kids stick.
If coach H brings in a top ten recruiting class for Kansas, he'll have to be the greatest recruiter in college football history (not gonna happen). As far as the LSU job conspiracy is concerned, not believing that either.
Other than Harris & Jason, don't see the others being LSU targets anyway.
Bottom line, Harris & Jason decommit from LSU previously and now commit to Kansas? Maybe they plan on going out for the basketball team.

I don't believe the theory. However, I don't believe these guys will play for Kansa either. Lsu hires a quality coach, recruit them hard, if they want them, they will get them. It's not just lsu. Any major program. They go to Kansas if other major programs do not offer or recruit them.

Wanna bet neither kid ends up at Kansas?
Posted on 2/5/17 at 7:38 am to InTheDetails
The conspiracy theories are because it's fricking KANSAS. They're a laughing stock football program that went winless as recently as two years ago. Hell, their "signature" win last season was over a 7 loss Longhorns team coached by the worst coach in that school's history. There doesn't seem like a logical reason how a team like that is getting kids to fall over one another to commit to them.

Jimmy just curious is to why you think they pulled the trigger, and when will you speak to these guys next to get the low down?
Posted on 2/5/17 at 7:50 am to JakeFromStateFarm
Jimmy seems like he's trying to stop it from getting any bigger than message board talk. He probably knows that is exactly what's going down.

Grambling would make them priority #1 as well. They wouldn't get nuts dragged on them their entire college career or get punked by the basketball team walking around campus.

Neither? Bruh it's like 7 of them on board now.

Maybe they want to go to a school to play football and watch good basketball
Posted on 2/5/17 at 8:22 am to broadcaster
So they get 2 processed Bama transfers and now 5 blue chip NO players. And nothing's going on here.
Oh wait.... Jimmy knows them...NEVERMIND
