Anybody ever go? Went today and it was actually a really good time. Good bit of people, as well. Blanton spoke and threw tons of praise towards CJJ. Jones said the best recruit he's ever gotten was David Patrick. Got me really excited for the rest of this year and the future.

I respect Blanton's opinion….Jones is proving to be one helluva recruiter….still not sold on his x's and o's though but we have seen a dramatic improvement (esp. on D) since the McNeese St. game

Sure, but without Patrick, we most likely don't land Simmons.

Seeing how DP is Simmons's godfather I really don't think we would get Benny without him.

Also, anybody going to Nola to see Ben play?

Speaking of Simmons. He told Culotta and The Prince he wants Tiger fans to call him Benny. But is it Benny or Bennie? See, these are things we need to decide upon before he gets here. So much to do...

Definitely Benny.

Most people lose the kid nicknames when they go to college, but Ben is adding it. I think it's hilarious.


I've always wanted to go to the luncheon's but I have been working out of town for all of them the past two years.

Try to find an interview but their website is trash. Any idea on day?

Edit: nvm. It was an interview from November. Kinda sad that no one on local radio has got Blakeney on.

Did you see the picture JaQuan Lyle posted on twitter? Blakeney facetime'd him right after his commitment in all LSU gear... Lyle seemed to like it.

here it is:

Elbert will be relied on immensely next year. Against my advice to them I see M&M coming out and the void will be wide.

Does that make him the better recruit? Because it seems like Simmons was such a good recruit that we hired Patrick to get him, we didn't jump through hoops to get Patrick.

You must not know who David Patrick is....

We didn't get Patrick for ONE player. You think we get Mickey or Simmons or Blakeney without DP?

Mickey yes, Simmons no, and we don't get Blakeney without Simmons, DP or not
