Just wondering why Raheem Falkins doesn't have an LSU offer?

sorry if Germans. But from New Orleans, big wr. committed to bama. Doesn't show that we offered. Just know interest from either side?

Alot of people has basically said this was a "pulling the carpet from under Miles' feet" offer from Saban. Basically saying he isn't good enough to get the other from neither school. Just a bait offer that Miles didn't bite.

I've actually seen a few say that they wouldn't be surprised that Falkins would be a recruit that Saban ends up changing his mind on like he did to kids last year.

Not an elite catcher or doesn't have elite speed.

These are all theories. Quite a few people have said that they've seen him play.

only time will tell but LSU did not offer nor did the staff show much of an interest in recruiting him and trying to flip him following his commitment to Bama.

Since they've cut ties with the rapey WR from the Mobile area, Falkins may stick, just to make sure they get bodies.

But still, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to quietly exit him from their class.

ETA: at which point he'd probably end up at Ole Miss with his teammate.

Didn't this board have a meltdown over his commitment?

good theory. additionally, saban was trying to get other la. prospects to commit by showing them that bama was getting la. guys.

Saban thinks so little of him that he's going to let him enroll in January.

He'll be a tall Kenny Bell.

The only time he catches a ball is whenever no one is within 10 yards of him.
