The key with the LOI is that is that if he didn't sign it then he wouldn't be held to anything from Auburn meaning they couldn't restrict where he goes. He would still have to sit a year under the transfer rules and likely pay his way the 1st year but wouldn't be restricted from going to LSU by Auburn. Just like Blakely from UF to Auburn last year.

It seems to be very close to a done deal of him transferring to LSU as of the news lately.

This isn't correct.

NCAA transfer rules apply to him. Also means that SEC transfer rules apply to him.

Which means:
1) Auburn can refuse to let him speak with LSU
2) Auburn can refuse to grant him a waiver to freely transfer to LSU
3) SEC transfer rules dictate that he must sit out 2 years before becoming eligible

ETA: SEC rule might be that he cannot receive financial aid for 2 years... trying to clarify

So basically we pretty much will be loaded in o-line talent and depth for the coming years if this comes true. Nice.
