Well good for him....if he doesn't want to be at LSU, we need to give the scholarship to someone who wants to be a tiger.

This is just a all around stupid move. Especially with Aranda getting an extension for all three years this kid would be here....

Damn Georgia getting all these 4 and 5 stars all of a sudden. Wouldn't be surprised if Kirby got a visit from the NCAA

Dumb move. With Aranda as DC and LSU needs LBs should line up to sign with LSU if they are smart.

Georgia's math department must have made one hell of an impression.

I don't know why everyone is all worked up. Devin White and Micheal Divinity are studs. The only thing LSU has a problem is dept. When I saw this guy, I really couldn't picture him getting on the field at LSU. If he was any good, Saban wouldn't have let him leave the state. The only reason he isn't going to Bama is because he wasn't offered a scholarship there. If Bama didn't offer an in state guy, that should tell you everything you need to know about him.

I agree with you about White and Divinity, but Rice is an excellent lb. He doesn't fit into bama's mold of 6'3" and bigger. Tough loss but there's still very good lbs out there.

Rice was quoted as saying "Kirby Smart assured him he would play immediately." Evidently, Aranda didn't make the same promise. Which again, leads me to believe O and Aranda have LB'ers set to sign on or before NSD. And I'm totally in on White & Divinity.

Just read on Dandy Don that LB Wille Gay was excited to hear about Monty Rice decomitting and says he is on his way to LSU. And is recruiting OU linebacker commit Jacob Phillips to join him! This must be who CL8100 was talking about.

Bye mutha......but why would a top LB not wanna play at LSU when it's not much competition or depth??? Befuddles me!

Kid must not be too smart... Why would you leave this situation? Everything about being a LB recruited by LSU is gold right now. On to the next one...

Had an "aha" moment... Shite started to get real for this young man. He couldn't handle the expectations that were going to be put on him at LSU. He was going to be given every opportunity to succeed with no excuses. He either could not handle that type of responsibility or did not want that type of responsibility. We are better without him.

Both Gay and Phillips are 4 star recruits, with Gay being ranked no. 7 nationally at his position.

Madison is in north north Alabama. UT, UA, AU all closer to home than UGA. Guess Smart was recruiting him at Bama
