Shea Dixon clears up Hootie's reasoning.

He was just on AFR as I figured this would clear things up for people.
quote:
He was enamored with Nick Saban since he was a sophomore. The allure of playing in their defense was something very important to him. This had very little to do with anything LSU did "wrong" and more that he wanted to leave the state. It just so happens the best program that is out of state is Alabama. The story about the visit not being great isn't really true. LSU will be using Wilson and Haley more in NELA but even if Miles had personally recruited Robinson and Jones, they likely would still have left the state. LSU will begin using its ace recruiters up north to rebuild that fence.

And they need to do so

Totally agree with this.

Happy to hear the truth, and if this is the reason, so be it.

Oh well. Good luck to him.

It isnt about getting knocked down, its about getting up.
I believe Miles will fix this issue in the same light he did with Chavis, and Cameron.
Sending Brick up there at the end of this recruiting season instead of waiting speaks volumes IMO

How does Shea Dixon know this for sure. I don't believe he was enamored with Saban since Sophomore year. He changed his commitment date several times because he really was on the fence. This is one person's opinion.

Pretty much falls in line with what I was thinking.
This was no "lifelong LSU fan." He was a really good player that wanted to leave the state. Bama's hot right now so they get him. A few years back USC was getting them. In the early 2000s Miami was getting them. In the 90s it was Nebraska, FSU and Miami. Not everyone in Louisiana loves LSU.

This should be plastered as a disclaimer on the RB homepage. LSU got many elite OOS prospects after they won crystal balls. Winning is the best recruiting tool.

Because Hootie likes LSU. He loves LSU. That's why he isn't ripping us like CRob did. Even thanked the LSU fans for support. He just made a business decision and that decision was Alabama.

Not according to Memphis...

This is a nice perspective to have after a couple of disappointing losses. It's hard to beat the cachet that Saban built with many of the coaches in the state and it's hard to get upset at the recruits that Alabama's success has influenced. If it was any other school, I would wish both good luck. Since it's Alabama, they're tiger bait and are dead to me.

He didn't play us on with the nation watching like Collins did, so I give him credit for that.

Absolutely agree. I hold no hard feeling for him as an individual. I hope he loses every game now but he handled his recruiting like an adult unlike Collins.

OH well, all we can do his hope the kid fails. Nothing personal, but him succeeding is at the direct expense of LSU.
It would suck to see TWO DBs lined up for the red team next year who were 5 Stars from Louisiana in Tiger Stadium though. We need to get this shite together.

Glad to see us changing up our strategy in the area AFTER we lose the two of the biggest prospects from north LA since Rueben Randle. Bama started trending for these guys in the Spring, but we kept things status quo.

So, playing in our system, DB U, and the love of PP, HB and #7 was all bullshite? From a D standpoint, I don't understand the allure of their system vs ours. We "put players in the pros". Win Thorpes and send DBS to New York. WTF are they selling? And I'm getting really sick of "it's a business decision".
