re: Keeping Underwood until signing day

The bravado is appreciated, but there’s still a long time to go. If you don’t think there’s other schools already trying to poach him and the others, you’re naive. Saban is probably scheming in his sleep ways to get his tentacles on him.

Any poach attempts will fail unless Sloan leaves.

Underwood has been very tight with LSU for months and spent 4 unofficial visits with his family (including his parents' anniversary weekend) in Baton Rouge.

Alabama's been closely linked to #2 rated QB George MacIntyre the whole way and forecast is 80% likelihood (On3). If he commits to them over Tennessee, they'll have their 2025 QB. I don't think Saban's losing sleep or "scheming" to poach Underwood especially if MacIntyre verbally commits.

I'm way happier LSU has Underwood. Not only are his skills absurdly impressive, he started HS FB as a FR and SO and won 2 state championships, and he's ready to go physically. MacIntyre is an accurate passer but quite scrawny and needs 20+ lbs to not get crushed.
