both are bigger RBs who came to LSU's campus when pretty much everyone expected them to end up a Tiger

as of now, neither are

now i know most will say pratt b/c he had already committed and it was a huge shock to have him turn around, leave LSU, and commit elsewhere. but all storm had to do was give a meaningless, non-binding commitment. he had to do a LOT less

he was supposed to commit saturday

for some reason that nobody in the recruiting world knows (at least 100%), he did not

-some say he didn't have a commitable offer
-some say he is a silent commit (not miles' style)
-some say it has to do with lache
-some say he wanted to commit and still take a few visits, Les told him to get the visits out of the the way then he would accept his commitment

nobody other than our coaches, storm, and a few others know for sure, which is why it's ineresting

les's sliding scale with visiting other schools is always like a box of chocolates

He's a silent commit to both UT and Auburn...

So did he ever actually commit? I thought he did couple weeks ago and we have him on our commit list here....

This makes the most sense..

And it allows LES more time to work on Lache

Hopefully neither commitment (if it happens) will affect the others decision..

This is a stupid non issue. Why do you guys feel like we have the right to know everything that goes on in a 17 year old's life? Several weeks ago he stated he was coming to LSU, and until I hear otherwise that's what I'm going to believe. Just because we haven't heard anything re-affirming what he said a few weeks ago y'all are running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

I would be embarassed if my life was that empty. Some of you really need to get hobbies or find other things to do besides follow recruiting THIS closely.

i doubt it will

storm knows he's not a burner and knows our primary guy is always a back just like him

lache is supposedly gaga over AU and according to their boards/fans, wants TWO other top backs there with him

I would think it to be a case of the kid has already commited publicly and him coming to BR and giving it to Les personally was no reason for Les or the kid to say anything further. Unless and until we hear something to the contrary, the kid's a Tiger.

Who is the second? It's certainly not Lattimore.

There is nothing strange about the Miles Doctrine, only clueless RANTards. There is no point for Miles to reserve a scholarship for Storm if he still wants to take visits.

Recruits understand the Miles Doctrine, even if the RANTards don't.

miles is not as hardcore with this policy like he used to be. now it seems if you're a top-rated guy and you tell him you want to take visits, miles won't be stubborn about it. plenty of other recruits have done this post-luthur davis
