After this crap, I honestly dont want him. There are 50-60 players on scholarship at LSU; one of them should not get to dictate to the coaches what happens with 1 or more of the other ones.
Go where you think a starting job will be handed to you without your having to compete for it.
The NFL will be like that too- refuse to play for the team that drafts you if you dont think you can come in and start from day 1.
What a wonderful lesson that is to teach your kid.
What is wrong with you people? Get over yourselves. You don't know why these players are making the decisions they are making unless they absolutely come out and say it. On top of that, why does anyone have to make a decision on your timetable?
I posted this in another thread, but I'll post it again on here.
These are kids making the biggest decision of their life to this point. Not all will make the right decision tomorrow. Some will go to LSU that shouldn't. Some won't that should. But it's not our decision to make. Sure we can comment, but we shouldn't judge.
If a parent is pushing their child one way, that's their right. They've raised their child and to hell with anyone that is going to tell me where my child should go to school. Just respect all decisions and leave it at that.
And remember, not all kids grow up bleeding purple and gold. They don't owe you, me, LSU, Louisiana, or any of the fans on this site anything. If they choose to go somewhere other than LSU, wish them luck, tiger bait em, and then celebrate those that decide to represent our school.

That's bullshite. Sure it's their right, but that doesn't make it right.

...and ignore the fact that their dad just threw the LSU coaching staff under the bus on the radio.

Generally speaking, if you want what's best for your child in the long run - financially and professionally and socially - going to the state school is the best choice.
If you deceive the state school, bad mouth the state school, then go elsewhere, you deserve every negative thing that is said about you. They played the game, and have to deal with the consequences of the game. Should they be beaten with a stick? Of course not. But if LSU fans say bad things about them or refuse to give them jobs or professional opportunities down the road, then that's part of the game that they have to deal with. It's part of the decision and part of the game that they are willingly participating in.
