re: If you were the #1 overall recruit coming out of high school

I for one would be an LSU lock. I'm just wondering how many fans on this board are die-hard LSU fans and how many like LSU but would weigh out their options at other schools.

some of the population is not totally brought up on LSU. some of the population first recollection of football is grambling or southern. If i was a big time recruit especially seeing this benton/jackson/mcknight/randle fiasco, I would take a trip to every campus that was available namely USC, TEXAS, FLORIDA, TENN, BAMA, MICH, PENN ST, FSU, AUBURN, GEORGIA and Notre Dame. Why put all of your eggs in a basket and risk being taken for granted.

If I had the grades to "go anywhere" literally, and I was thinking honestly about projecting to the next level--i.e. on my best day I would be a poor man's jack hunt--I would have to think seriously about getting four years at a place like stanford for free...almost impossible to pass up.
but if I've got the skills and confidence to maybe play on Sunday's, then its LSU

If i was guaranteed an NFL career, LSU. If not Stanford or Virginia

Cal is a beautiful campus at night.

I'd pull a Russell Shepard and even help get more recruits to come along.

i would tell Les Miles, Paul Maneiri, or Trent Johnson i was coming to LSU my freshman year of high school, if i knew i was that good, if a coach called me and would be like sorry, i'm already going to LSU, i'm not talking to anybody else....(and that would be for any sport, [football, baseball, or basketball])

Do you by any chance have ADHD?

I would be a secret LSU lock. I would show "interest" in schools such as Hawaii, Southern Cal, Miami, etc. take the trip and come back a tiger

If I was the caliber of player that really had a chance of playing in the NFL I would probably come to LSU. If I wasn't, but was still getting a lot of love I would go to a way better academic school. I would rather go to a slightly worse football program to get to go to some of these highly regarded academic program.

I am engineering student and GT would be high on my list because it is still relatively close to home.

I would say I'm a Tennessee lock for over a year, along with my father (who is a coach by the way). On NSD, I'd say my mom is flying in from California, so I'd postpone my letter signing till the next day. God forbid, there could be a sudden flight delay.

Oh, and then I'd commit to LSU, and tell everyone I've been a lock to be a Tiger for quite some time.

No, but seriously.

I'd take visits just for the hell of it. You only get to go through the process once, unless you're DeAngelo Benton or some other JUCO player. But nothing would be able to change my mind from being a Tiger.
