Born and Jen... Thanks for being classy

In lieu of Lache's upcoming announcement, I wanted to beat everyone else to the punch. From your recent statements and totally IMO from reading between the lines, I believe that you at least have an idea of where Lache is going and it is not to LSU.
That being said, I want to say that the way you have represented LSU has been classy and respectful. If he is a good friend of yours, then there is no doubt to me that there were no charades in his recruitment. He seems like a genuinely good kid who has respectfully enjoyed the recruiting process while taking an open approach to the schools he was interested in.
It is my best guess that he is a smart kid who wanted to explore and exhaust all his options because he does not want to gamble with his future. I also guess that he has been grateful for his opportunities, so when interviewed by the rumor hungry media, his kind and positive words were contorted to make his decision making seem dramatic.
I for one just wanted to say before the rantards come and curse him, that I respect the way you have stayed as unbiased as possible while guiding helping Lache through this big decision, and that I support him where ever he goes, and wish nothing but success for him and goodwill for you.
This is all just instinct, as I mostly just read these boards and hardly post. Please do not get discouraged with the way LSU fans react if/when Lache does not choose LSU. People around here take things too personally and do not realize what a big decision it is for these young men, so they act like scorned women, but there are a few true fans who understand it isnt just about football, but about life.
Thanks for being a representation of that kind of tiger fan. Heres to you and Lache, and other posters like bhelm, gulfcoastbaised, lsufanva, OldIowaTiger, Lynx, Apex and a few others who represent these boards day in and day out as true tiger fans, and not like some who come off as fickle mindless teenagers

Last year about this time "Born to be a Tiger", a fellow recruiting board poster, was on these boards telling us about his ballin neighbor from around the corner, and was linking his highlights on youtube well before rivals and scout had him so highly rated on their websites. Apparently, Born is very close to Lache and has played sort of a mentor role through his life

FWIW about this time last year we were all too aware of who lache was. BornToBeATiger is obviously involved with lache, a booster at the high school IYAM, and no one believes he is LSU bound at this point. I sincerely appreciate the effort but you would be better of facebooking lache and fighting through the crowd of aubbies giving him typed head

Ive followed this board for a couple years now, and you used to be decent. Though it is no suprise that I cant appreciate decency on this board without getting accused of being like a Tennessee hostess with some kinda internet pregnancy agenda....

Though Im actually impressed with this level of reading comprehension coming from you, why dont you take a break and go back to the something more comfortable for you like beating your chest, chugging beer, finding a task to use both WD40 and duck tape cause you da e-man bro

I don't think we are out of it with Lache,fwiw. The woods are just too quiet,for some strange reason,and I don't know if its to throw everyone off,or not. I've been thinking he's gone,for a while,but Reed wanting to visit,now. Hmm..just have a feeling that it ain't a done deal,that he's gone.

I'm guessing this thread was a sad attempt to bait him into giving out some info

I may be totally wrong, will be happy to mark it down and Ill eat crow if I am, but if you look at his post history and read what he has posted lately, then Im inclined to believe that if Born does know, then it isnt looking good.
Also, we cannot assume he knows nothing because shortly after Reeds commitment, Born spilled the details. He does know at least small tidbits said in confidence that havent been told to the public.
If you take his words coupled with the fact that we took our 3 RB's, albeit with Blue possibly changing positions, and with two already on board for 2011....
Born did also mention that the only thing he advised Lache to do during recruiting is to not lead Texas and LSU on, and to tell them privately if they were out of it. Lache announces at the All Star game, so there is a great possibility if not probability that he knows where he is going, and has thus told the coaches, and said coaches have moved on to their contingent offers....
I just hope if/when Lache chooses not to go to LSU it is to Oregon, so we dont have to face him in conference, and because it would be good to see him in that system(also doesnt hurt to root for him against USC)
All that being said, I think we will be great with Ford, who will be a total stud IMO, Ware, and Hillard.

Go re read his post?
All about perspective, and reading between the lines. If you didnt/couldnt, sucks for you?
