I would take all my visits early and gather information on the other schools so I could recruit for LSU all year and bring in the best recruits in the nation like my man "Shep".

Texas.... I would say it is 95% Texans and too much of a clique.

USC....I would visit USC I liked it but that I wanted to compete with the best players and the PAC 10 is way to soft.

Bama..... and say I didn't like the fact the no coach stays more than 1 year under Saban except a few guys that just jump at his whistle and shine his shoes. And of course he does not honor scholarships and sends everyone packing.

Tennessee.....I would say the coaches are liars

Florida.............I would say I just felt more comfortable at LSU.

By committing to LSU early I would be putting the team first and not my on selfish glory.

I would take visits to other schools : USC, Florida, The U, and Texas, but I would be a 100% lock to LSU. I would just want to take visits and check out other campuses.

If I was sure where I wanted to go ,I would commit and not take visits. If not, I would take visits until I was sure.Once committed, one should not take visits,period.Another words, don't be a Jackson,Benton or Bell.

I would definitely not be a OSU lock. I'd be heavily leaning there, but certainly not a lock.

and watch TooLame on weekends. I think the last Toolame game that was broadcast on a major network was 2 years ago when LSU whooped them.
I hope you have some long rabbit ears if you're in California.

Definitely LSU but if LSU was out, I'd take UF or USC for three reasons: Babes, Beaches & BCS Bowls.

+1

I would be a LSU lock though. It would be fun to go all over the country and party.

As in I could go anywhere even if I weren't an athlete based on my grades?

1st tier
Texas, Stanford. Cal might be here too.

2nd tier
Michigan, UCLA, UNC, UVA, Harvard

3rd tier
There's no 3rd tier for that caliber of recruit

Sorry LSU isn't on the list, the athletic program is undeniably great and you can get a decent education practically anywhere if you want one. But the nonacademic side is too regional.

If I was the number 1 prospect in the country there would be a very good chance I'd have a shot at the NFL. I'd go to whatever program would best prepare me at my position to be a top draft pick.

if we're going for women I'd pick Az State in a LANDSLIDE...they have a ridiculous amount of talent out there...yes more than SEC schools

agreed i go to arizona a lot for work, and they have the hottest chicks, more than usc and florida.

for me it would depend. if i was guaranteed NFL id look at the obvious, usc, lsu, florida etc. but if its education, you have to consider the stanfords, vanderbilts, and northwestern schools.

I wouldn't pick another SEC school over LSU. I don't think they have anything to offer that LSU doesn't have.

However, I would look at a few more schools:
-Southern Cal (all the history and tradition. plus, you are in beautiful weather, you are at a great school, you are on a team that is the center of the media's attention [rightfully so]. plus, you are treated like a celebrity.)
-Penn State (I think everything about them symbolizes College football. From the uniforms, to the fans, to Happy Valley, to the fight song, and Joe La. Penn State would definitely be in the mix).
-Notre Dame (see Penn State).
-Miami (much like USC. you are in Coral Gables/South Beach. When they're good, they're real good. it would be fun to play in that environment.)
