Why would we want George Bass' son to be our player personnel guy?

ETA: If you are talking about Sherman Morris, I'm thinking his domestic abuse allegations might make that impossible.

Duh, it's a bad move because who wants to live in LA over BR. Baton Rouge has the same shitty traffic with 1/1000th of the cool shite. What's not to love?

This is terrible news, if true.

I guess Orgeron is getting the RC tag, after all.

ETA: - Unless Miles is going to make the Oh, SNAP! - move of making Peveto the DPP/RC and bringing Joe Rob in as ST Coordinator.

(I can dream, can't I? Don't judge me.)

I bet he has a great first year but never quite captures the magic again thereafter.

USC: Source tells FootballScoop LSU’s director of player personnel Austin Thomas will be the new associate athletic director over personnel at USC. Thomas was recently selected Director of Player Personnel of the year by his peers. Thomas began working at USC in 2010 and was promoted to assistant director of recruiting / operations in 2012. In early 2013 he was offered a position as director of recruiting & player personnel at Bowling Green but shortly thereafter was offered the role at LSU which he accepted in April 2013.

I was going to say, "JV - great Tiger, but he's just a kid."

He turned THIRTY-THREE last month - and I have to believe is actually older than Austin Thomas by a couple of years.

Where does the actual time go? Justin Vincent being 33 means Ace is damned near fiddy.

So he's going back to where he started with a serious promotion to boot.

Good for him! It sucks to see key personnel go but it looks good for LSU.
