quote:he has to apologize to noone. Has been a great player and a great representative of LSU. I am not a cynical person and I take him at his word. My mother told me years ago that if you tell the truth then you will never have to remember what you said.
You are aware of where PP is projected to be picked and what the implications would be if a rookie salary cap is included in the next CBA......and that PP would be subject to that if he stayed another year at LSU , don't you?

Former LSU assistant coach Earl Lane, who handled Peterson's recruitment, said he did not have dealings with Lyles in the recruiting process in an interview with ESPN's Joe Schad.
"There's a lot of rumor and innuendo," said Lane, who has been out of coaching for the past two years. "But I believe in doing things the right way and on the up and up." Lane said he's heard of Lyles but "if the guy walked right in front of me right now I wouldn't know who he is."
Lane said neither Peterson nor his father ever brought up money and never mentioned anyone else who had. Lane said Peterson reneged on a commitment to Miami after visiting with LSU academic staff and experiencing a Saturday night game at LSU. "It was overwhelming for him and his parents," Lane said.
"Anytime you have a top ranked player who goes to another school there will be some sour grapes and things said." Lane recruited some of the best players in the SEC this decade including Peterson, Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson, but said he's left coaching for the past two years to care for his father.

OK, done, over with, move on. Unless his dad has admitted to offering him to the highest bidder for hundreds of thousands of dollars ... oh wait, there's nothing wrong with that ...

What sucks about this is that the allegation will live on. Fans of every fanbase but LSU will assume it's true but just couldn't be proven. At least for the next few months whenever this issue arises, Peterson will be mentioned in the same breath as Cam and Lache Seastrunk. Hope that Tulane assistant coach is real happy with himself for tarnishing a good kids name out of bitterness towardss his own lot in life.

It's up to us to get the word out there. Like the fact that of last year's final top 25, LSU was one of, if not the least penalized team in the rankings all time.
That's who we are.
That's who we are.

What else can you say about PP? He is very honest and I am glad he chose LSU. Hats off to his parents for the job they done raising this young man.

Looks like Patrick's got some 'splainin to do.

I dont remember him denying that he ever visited A&M. Most of that article seemed like it was just reaching.

This is one of the problem with street agents. You never know if they are full of shite.

He’s also claimed he never even visited Texas A&M and that Van Malone “had no involvement” in his recruitment.
Peterson was stating Lyles had no involvement! lmao!!!

Statement from LSU CB Patrick Peterson on Willie Lyles....
"I have never had any type of relationship with Willie Lyles and he had no influence on my decision to attend LSU, or any other school for that matter. He had no involvement with my recruiting process and I resent the fact that my name has come up in these allegations. I chose LSU because it's a great school with a great football program. I never received nor was I offered anything to go to LSU and anyone saying otherwise is being dishonest."
quote:
Peterson told Culotta twice that he never even visit[ed] the school in College Station, Texas.
Everything is being taken out of context. I don't see any questions directly asking PP7 have you ever been to a&m.
He never did take an official, and he stated why would he go there when speaking of the allegations of "A&M and 80k"... Thus denying it twice?
Am I missing something because I dont see where Peronni has proved he knew it was Lyles back then. I also don't see where PP7 made the statement Van Malone had no involvement or he never visited a&m?
By all means, if its proved we cheated, then hammer us! But with the way we handled the McCarthy/Hicks situation, I feel pretty good about our compliance office.

unless the ncaa can find a paper trail or some audio tapes they are not taking us down. at least this is the way it should be if you're using the cam newton case as precedence.

Never said that he didn't know him, never said his father didn't know him, just said he had no relationship with him and he didn't play a role in the recruiting process.

Not quite as much as it must suck to look like you.
Cripes, dood, if that's you in the pic...sub in a hot chick. At least the insults could then be taken more seriously.

Sounds like Willie was trying to strike it big without having to do anything but make accusations about some one, people like this deserve fraud charges

Peterson speaks on allegations
An angle people aren't thinking about. Why is this coming out? P.P. can potentially go #1 over all. The draft is nearing. like every year, rumors spew out about players before the draft.
could there be an agent or team funneling negative information about p.p. through this coach, who never told his superiors any such claims, for p.p. to drop in the draft therefore, their client gets drafter higher or the team gets the player they want?
