Bone, Watts, and Wiltfong all on the Bama train now for Ricks. I hate Nick Saban

Must be tough for Watts. He said Ricks wasn’t very good two days ago.

I’m not even surprised. This happens every year with some big recruit. They look to be leaning to LSU, the “experts” all say that he’s LSU’s to lose, some 11th hour bullshite happens and the day of their commitment, everyone flips their prediction to Alabama and they choose the Tide. I’m honestly surprised people didn’t see this coming.

LET HIM GO!! It is totally not good for the rest of our very good players receiving much smaller NIL $$. Will destroy team morale... I do not want to pay him 1 PENNY MORE than Perkins got. I will keep telling some of these shortsighted posters...

I read Watts words from a couple days ago and I feel much better. Apparently Ricks is not an elite player in the eyes of Saban and his staff. They view him as a guy who could maybe start by year 2 or 3 in the program and is a depth/backup guy for them. They wanted Brown who went to Miami. He was their elite target.

Ricks is seen as a rotational guy who lacks that difference making ability.

So if that’s the case he’s overrated and wouldn’t have been a difference maker here either

I’m excited to see what tmrw brings

Any IMG guy between LSU and Bama ends up at Bama, and that's just a fact. I have a similar rule of California recruits. Eventually they end up closer to home no matter what they say leading up to signing day.


Stop pursuing IMG recruits and California kids unless they're breaking down the door to come to Baton Rouge.

Eli Ricks might be the only IMG recruit LSU has signed but of course he still defected to Bama. Time to stop messing around.

If the kid doesn’t want to be at LSU then I don’t want him wearing an LSU uniform. It sucks to lose guys to competing SEC schools but I would rather them go elsewhere if they turn around a year from now and end up in the portal.

This didn’t just happen in the 11th hour. As mentioned last week, LSU knew for a couple of weeks it was trending this way. If the Tigers can win more than they lose to Bama going forward, they will stop losing players to them.

Oh well F em. I hope he takes his L like that other groupie named Ricks. Rode the bench for half the damn year and then lost to us. L O L. Front running bandwagoners.

Not sure where Ricks ends up but I’m not going to cry over a player who changed his mind in the last hour due to money.

I will however celebrate and be excited for the players coming in to the program who want to play for LSU and represent the team, and who didn’t change their mind in the 11th hour.

I think it's hilarious that people let Nick talk all kinds of shite about Jimbo, then those same people aren't going to bring up the fact that he's doing the exact same thing.

This "recruitment" is an object lesson that should be quite familiar to LSU by now. Logic says that there is either a gross misrepresentation by the recruit or some eleventh hour deal-making that causes the change. Either way it is dirty pool.

LSU has to beat Alabama on the field repeatedly, then we'll see change. It can't be once every 4 years.

People will say it’s money but why don’t you research and see how many DBs Saban put into the league vs Kelly. Sometimes it’s that simple.
