LSU offered him a scholarship in 2020 to say LSU wasn’t interested as much as he would have liked is just an excuse to save face from going to Bama.What he does is his decision but don’t act like LSU wasn’t wanting him

Correct but they also offered Arch & you know 2 Elite 11 QBs were not going to the same school in the same year. While Ed's staff was chasing Arch and had offered Eli, they were not recruiting Eli as hard as other SEC schools were. aTm and Alabama have always been on him even though Bama didn't offer as early.
Known his kid since he was young and he is not afraid to compete. His Dad just knew that he could get quality playing time at a HS that didn't have the son of a legend playing QB a year ahead of him. JH is really good and Eli would have only had 1 year to be the starter. Instead he has started either 2 or 3 years already and has a 5A state championship to show for it. No need to "save face" when you are planning on a professional career for many years.
