LSU head coach Ed Orgeron spent Friday night at the Hewitt-Trussville vs. Thompson high school game in Alabama, a matchup that featured two Alabama quarterback commits, and Crimson Tide star passer Tua Tagovailoa on the sidelines.

Cameras were able to catch Orgeron chatting with Tagovailoa and AL.com writer Joseph Goodman suggested it was a strategic move by Orgeron to be at the game.

quote:
Tagovailoa and Alabama play Orgeron’s LSU next Saturday in the SEC’s biggest game of the season. The head games have already started.

Give the off-week victory to Coach ‘O.’

Of all the high school games in the country on Friday night, Orgeron chose the one featuring two Alabama quarterback commitments on the field, and Alabama’s superstar quarterback on the sideline. He was there to be on national television in enemy territory. He was there to steal the recruits, and steal the scene, too.

And he was there to send a message: LSU is coming.

The Alabama quarterback commits that he was talking about were Taulia Tagovailoa, Tua's younger brother and Paul Tyson who is the great-grandson of former Alabama coach Paul Bryant.

And that's why Ed is regarded as the best recruiter in college football...

Tua pulled out his phone right as O left. Pretty sure Nicky was on the other end of that text.

So many people think he’s a moron, but the man is playing 3D chess. He’s still an underrated coach despite outperforming so many big name coaches.

I come up with that from just the fact he happens to pick the one high school game out of hundreds that is two Alabama schools on national television where the best player of your next opponent is on his one bye week. He made an impact on anyone watching the one nationally televised high school game.

O is sometimes hard to lip read. But as he was leaving he definitely said .........”Baton Rouge” in there.

I see you boys in T-town have grown accustomed to that FCS schedule you played. Here is some truth for ya. The BEST team you boys have played got waxed by Mississippi State last night. A steady diet of cream puffs will make you fat.

At the end it looks like Tua reaches for his phone and probably called Saban and told him we’re F’d, O just said We’re Coming!! GEAUX TIGERS

Tua looks really excited to shake hands with O! O looks like he talks with 5 star QB’s all the time and looks very confident. Definitely a win for O.

What? 1 is a 50yr old man and 1 is a 19yr old. Somethings are still exciting to one and that is fine. He is a kid.

A lot of guys from down the bayou are a lot smarter than people give them credit for. If he's raking in a few million a year doing what he loves, he's a hell of a lot smarter than my multiple degree having ass.
