Haven't seen any of you guys mention the rumors about him and Miami. Just curious to what you guys have heard.

This is what I was told from a Miami guy. Said it's legit(not so sure) and has to do with LSU asking him to grayshirt. Hoping for a full release so he can go without losing a year. Now granted that makes absolutely no sense since if we ask him to greyshirt and don't allow him to enter, his LOI is null and void and therefore he's free to go anywhere without losing any time.(I assume. If not then that's a terrible rule).

What, if anything have you guys heard. Honestly don't feel one way or the other about it but it's something to discuss.

I'm pretty sure we arent over the limit of a scholly. That would make zero sense too, especially being a huge WR pickup that will play his freshman year.

I'm pretty sure he doesnt know shite

Just saw the thread on the SEC board but they don't know anything either. I was told the hacked account isn't true by the Miami people. Again if anyone wants to discuss or chime in, feel free.

This makes no sense...AJ is one of the stars in this last class at a major position of need.

He has size, which we are currently lacking on the depth chart and has PT in the near future if he steps up.

Oh...and he is PP7s brother.

I'd be shocked if this is true...and if so

I thought this was a coaching change rumor thread

I saw some Alabama guy post it and someone else said it was Avery's friend fricking around on twitter. sounds like bullshite.

The Miami tards on the Rivals national board were crowing about it yesterday. He tweeted with Duke Johnson about the U being back or some crap so I figured it was Avery trolling on social media like he's wont to do. A couple hours ago some LSU fan tweeted at him when he reports to LSU and he said June 9th.

Man you guys are quick.

I basically explained the same things you guys are saying to the Miami guy and he said the Miami folks are saying there's truth to it. Like I said in the OP I'm not sure if it's true or not and Miami insiders aren't exactly reliable. They tend to get trolled a lot. Doesn't make sense and I just attribute it to Avery playing games with people again. Strange sense of humor on that kid. Assuming it was actually him. I basically just wanted something to discuss and this happened to be out there.

These rumors started because Avery was tweeting he wanted to transfer to Miami. He tweeted he had made a lot of phone calls & it was looking good. He was actually holding a conversation with somebody about it via twitter.

Now, he has told multiple people that his account was hacked and that he didn't tweet those things. I find it very hard to believe considering he tweets a lot of pro LSU stuff everyday. I feel he would have tweeted to let the fans know his account was hacked, if it were true. Something is definitely fishy.

Interesting Clowney posts. I don't doubt you for a minute. I know how easy it is for boosters/schools/coaches to organize transactions, so it is not a question of "if" more a question of "how much" and "how often" the deals occur.

And, it happens in all sports...even the ones the fans don't give two shits about.

I know, what's his deal? I actually really don't understand it. Maybe he is just desperate for attention, which he doesn't need to be. He will get plenty of that once he steps on the field.

I love it! Some people take twitter and Facebook so serious it's fun to see someone who likes to mess with people. The kid called the coaches on NSD and told the he was going to Bama
