This is from an ESPN.com story on the last month of Jefferson's recruitment. (Sorry for three separate quotes. For some reason I couldn't get all three paragraphs to copy as one quote.)

LINK

quote:

The final days of pitching are here. Over the course of 11 days, coaches from LSU, Baylor, UCLA, Texas A&M and Texas descend upon Mesquite for in-home visits.
quote:

The first one did not go so swimmingly. Teresa told Les Miles to his face the brutal truth: She had a terrible time on Malik's official visit to Baton Rouge.
quote:

She never saw the campus. Never saw a dorm room. Didn't learn much. She paid more than $800 and sure wishes she hadn't. "Worst place ever," in her honest opinion. The family connected with defensive coordinator John Chavis, but that wasn't enough. LSU is out.

The other thread about this has plenty discussion.

Oops....I didn't see anything about this specifically, but I just looked at the thread about his commitment to Texas. Sorry for the duplication.

In fairness to you, the thread title isn't very specific to these comments.

Too bad Landon Collins' mom didn't have this kind of power.

She lied about her experience to a news outlet.

Yeah, I heard she didn't like the F U Saban chant by our students either. Jefferson's family wanted him in Austin anyway. Good for them.

It's kind of crazy really. I know people that hosted that group that weekend and it couldn't be farther from the truth. There might not have been much one on one time as the group was pretty big but they still got the royal treatment.

Remember several years ago what ( then top recruit )Jamarcus McFarland and his Mom had to say to the media about their recruiting experiences at Texas and LSU?

The truth isn't always told when Mom has an agenda. Forget it and move on.

I'm thinking her story is 90% bullshite. She told multiple people she had a great time and loved LSU and the coaches.

She lied to one side.

The sad part isn't she lied. We had no chance if getting him .
Sad part is the asshat fans have yet another excuse to bad mouth Miles.
Pathetic.

Am I remembering this next part right? Weren't Les Miles and Steve Ensminger in the Jefferson's home (with posted pictures) like 10 days ago with broad smiles by the son between the two visiting coaches? Oh yeah, I know if I had supposedly been insulted weeks ago, I will let those people who supposedly treated me like dirt come into my home.

She's always wanted him to go to Texas and that's fine, but it looks like this story is either BS or she flat out lied to other recruit's parents on the campus that day. Neither of those reflect very well on her IMO.

Just weird that LSU was called out like that.

It's weird if it were random. I don't believe it was random. I believe she was coached to say that.

She's been tigerbait from the beginning! Of course it's the worst place because she knew LSU was the biggest threat to take her son out of Texas! In Cali she let loose and had a good time because she knew it was too far anyway. Nice reverse psychology play on her part! Never underestimate what a mother will say and do to influence her son!

I'm with you on that. She has been skeptical of him leaving the state from the beginning. Hey, it's her son, but no reason to bash us.

She should come out with an apology

But I doubt it happens
