Four-star Alabama linebacker commit Chris Allen from Baton Rouge, LA tweeted out a picture on Monday of him in an LSU jersey with the caption of "Home do sound nice."

Allen has been committed to Alabama since late November but the LSU coaching has been working hard to the flip the Baton Rouge native to stay home and play for the Tigers.

The 6-3, 235-pound prospect from Southern University Lab is rated the No. 4 outside linebacker in the country and No. 2 overall player from the state of Louisiana for the class of 2017, according to 247Sports.

LSU currently only has one linebacker commit for the class of 2017 in four-star prospect Patrick Queen from Livonia, LA.

Disgrace for Louisiana young man from Baton Touge to go to Darth Vader Gump Nation....someone on his family should have explained to him If he is injured or doesn't play long he won't be LSU royalty for life.....poor kid. Lost in the world with no strong guidance

The minute he posted a pic of him with an LSU jersey, I'm like, "n-ga, you're not fooling this guy." Anybody really thought this dude was staying home? There were reports a couple of weeks ago that the reason he chose gumps over LSU was because of how they keep beating us year after year after year. In a way, he's taking an easy route rather than facing a challenge. Basically a "if you can't beat them join them." But hey, that's his decision. Hopefully LSU makes him regret the decision and I believe they will with new coaching staffs and a new culture.

If trolling...that speaks volumes of his character IMO and he could be an "attention whore" where ever he goes. That could spell trouble. Off field issues can define a player too....especially if they never see the field due to those issues.

Or he is just being courteous. The staff is working hard to flip him and he's just showing them love for it.
