I haven't been following recruiting and I know some kids just want to go out of state. That said, how do you let a 5 star safety from Baton Rouge go to Ohio State?

He just jumped on board there early and never wavered. Hate it, but respect the way he handled it to the end.

I have zero inside information, but just looking at things objectively:

-kid might've wanted to get out and see a new part of the country
-OSU has loads of money to offer
-even if the money didn't allure him there, it's one of the premier programs in the country

Ohio state was on him earlier and harder than LSU and he was a buckeye from then on.

Another one of BK's recruiting flubs.

LSU literally gave his brother a scholarship to play football in order to get him... how was OSU on him "harder"??

They’re 26-2 in the last two years, defending national champ and will have defensive players going high in the draft. They got on him earlier and he’s stuck with them.

He’s not that good. He’s a glorified LB box safety.

We need to stop saying "let him go". Just because they are in Louisiana does not mean they need LSU's permission to leave.

He went from a five star to a four star that should tell you everything you need to know

It came from the horses mouth. OSU outworked LSU for Bradford

Sloan was the BR area recruiter along with Olsen as his position coach.

He’s not a 5 star anymore. He fell in the rankings fwiw

NEVER fault a kid that wants to get out of this shite hole of a state.

Believe it or not, there’s a world outside of LSU football.

If that kid wanted to leave and experience living somewhere else, good for him. Happy for him! Good luck to him.
