and you had the grades to get into any school you wanted to, would you be a 100% lock to LSU or would you take visits somewhere else?


I for one would be an LSU lock. I'm just wondering how many fans on this board are die-hard LSU fans and how many like LSU but would weigh out their options at other schools.

Not a chance. Probably wouldn't go anywhere in the SEC but LSU, but I could easily see myself taking visits to ND, UVA, Stanford, etc.

Today I'd be a 100% LSU lock. During Curley Hallman's years I would visit other schools.

Who is the coach? Curly Hallman = NO

Who is at my position? Last 3 #1's at my position = not likely




I would have LSU as my top, but I'd certainly visit other programs (yes, including Bama) and weigh the choices.

HOWEVER, I'd be honest with all coaches and not spring surprise last minute changes on any of them

I'm gonna soft commit to LSU then visit other schools. Take advantage of the NCAA rules. Maybe get out of class a few days. Then lead other schools on making them think I was interested. Probably tell Saban I am going to sign with Bama on NSD and surprise the world. Then I am going to wrap my LSU hat up in about 15 layers of trash bags and a couple of boxes and have my family, friends and dogs take turns peeling back a layer of suspense until at last my selection is made known and the beam of light shines down from the heavens as I don the P&G head gear.

Don't you think this being an LSU board that most if not all would say they would be an LSU lock. I mean I know I would but that is what most people put.

LSU if from Louisiana and family in Louisiana. Family is just different in other places, so it's not as big a deal (not in all cases of course).

It would depend. For me, it would be LSU regardless, but I can understand looking at the specifics for yourself.

I do not understand lying about your commitment though, or crapping on the taxpayers on your way out (if you attend a public school and/or it hurts your flagship state school).

I'm a die hard LSU fan, but it would depend on position and competition. If I'm a QB, its hard for me to think that I wouldnt be in L.A. getting the movie star treatment at USC. Hell, pretty much any position would be hard to overlook USC, but if I were say a linebacker, it would be tough to overlook PSU or another big 10 school. I'd never want to go to a big 12 school or another sec team. I guess overall, no matter the position, LSU, USC, PSU, ND, OSU, or Michigan would be at the top.

ETA-In the end, no matter what, it would be really hard to get me away from LSU.

i would tell Les Miles, Paul Maneiri, or Trent Johnson i was coming to LSU my freshman year of high school, if i knew i was that good, if a coach called me and would be like sorry, i'm already going to LSU, i'm not talking to anybody else....(and that would be for any sport, [football, baseball, or basketball])

I would say I'm a Tennessee lock for over a year, along with my father (who is a coach by the way). On NSD, I'd say my mom is flying in from California, so I'd postpone my letter signing till the next day. God forbid, there could be a sudden flight delay.

Oh, and then I'd commit to LSU, and tell everyone I've been a lock to be a Tiger for quite some time.

No, but seriously.

I'd take visits just for the hell of it. You only get to go through the process once, unless you're DeAngelo Benton or some other JUCO player. But nothing would be able to change my mind from being a Tiger.
