I have no idea where this guy will go to college but the facts are that LSU will have two junior DEs declare for the NFL after this year and both will be first round picks. Not to mention that Brockers left as a redshirt soph to be a 1st rounder. That type of stuff gets noticed.
LSU should (and will) clean up at DE this year, because it is priority #1.

WTF are you doing on our board spewing that kinda tripe? I mean, its one thing to comment and contribute here in a logical, thoughtful manner.
That's exactly what he's doing, man. Cap is good people. RN has been wearing Bama gear to school for years and he didn't once try to rub that in, or downplay the quotes.
What he could have said, and what is the truth, is that it's one thing for LSU to be his favorite the monday after his visit, and something entirely different for LSU to still be his favorite mid-May.
Also, you're aware that Torsh signed with UT, not Bama right?

Um, yes. You are aware that Torshiro Davis' HC was the former Defensive Coordinator at Bastrop & had a "relationship" with Devall, right? You gonna tell me you aren't aware he was the guy driving Devall to Tuscaloosa "on his own dime", as well as telling Ensminger that "everything was fine" and that Davis was "all LSU" up until NSD?
What should really p!ss people off on the Davis commitment to UT is that Bo Davis really played LSU badly. He wasn't on the up and up there at all. I know he's a UT Coach, but he's an LSU Grad & he did some S&C work for us before he went to work for Nick. I guess everything's fair in recruiting, though. Unless you get caught.

I know the story, told Torsh to lead LSU on til the last minute. Drove DD to Bama for all his visits.
The point is, not all high school coaches are like this prick. Most want their best recruits to go to a place they know they will be successful, so it will make them look good in the long run. Sure, like Cap said, he will talk about Bama, but he'll also talk about LSU with the track record of putting guys in the league we have.

why didn't he get a job at Bama then? Devall is not from La and fits a 3-4 better anyway.

Yeah, got tons of links for you. Lemme fire 'em right now. He admits to everything. Because you konw that's what folks do. They immediately spill their guts on the internet so we can leave a hyper text protocol link for you to click on.
In other words no, its just speculation and rumor designed to make people like you feel better, cause you know every kid that goes to HS in La wants to play at LSU. The only possible way someone could want to go to Alabama or Texas (cause Austin is such a lame town) is because some corrupt coach, with an axe to grind against LSU manipulated them
Of course coaches can have influence, but they can't force these kids to go somewhere the kid does want to go.

If you think it doesn't happen, you're dreaming.
That what doesn't happen? A coach that's familar with Auburn tells kids good things about Auburn? I'm sure the coach at Grayson if asked will say good things about Bama or his time at Bama. I'd imagine he probably has Bama souvineers in his housw, maybe a NC ring. That kid of stuff can have an impact, but he can't steer a kid somewhere a kid doesn't want to go. In the case of RN, I've read his dad is a Dr. do you think a family like that is just going to go to Bama cause the coach says so?
You are dreaming if you think Davis was 100% LSU until his coach started talking Texas. Maybe TD was so grateful his coach got a job in Texas, he wanted to thank them is that it?

Do you guys think we now have a legit chance after his visit? He says he will announce his decision on May 18th.
i highly doubt it, but we will see. Also, he could change his mind at any time, so wouldn't put a lot of stock in who he says he wants to go to.

Exactly. Most coaches are professionals. Most are not going to burn bridges out of spite. The guy with Davis is the exception, not the rule. If the guy at Grayson has been there for 10 years and only had 1 guy go to Bama, that's fairly telling that he is not just going to steer kids to Bama.

we may have only steered 1 guy to bama but he hasn't had any RN caliber guys in 10 years. this is a very, very unique and special situation.

you're an idiot.. i've been through this before (albeit, on a smaller level)
my junior year of high school, i had a few scholorship offers from smaller schools in baseball.. ULL, ULM, SLU, UNO, etc.. southern miss sent me some mail asking me to come to their camp in june and i agreed.. my coach (a UNO grad, and former pitcher) drove me out to hattiesburg because the weekend that i was supposed to be up there my parents were on a cruise...
not all coaches brainwash their athletes to attend the same university they did..
idiot

The Bama company line seems to be, "But we've only gotten one of his players!" Well yeah duh, you've only offered one of his players.

Realize that could possibly be a deceptive statement he made via twitter.
I hope you're right though.

You may or may not be right but I don't think your situation correlates at all with big time college football. A guy who played baseball at UNO simply isn't going to have the same feelings about UNO versus a guy who played football for Bama.
Look, it is a fact that SOME, but not all, high school coaches try to pressure or influence their players in certain directions (and let's not kid ourselves, it happens in Louisiana all the time).

We have the "brook trout" look even amongst recruiting.....
NO way RN could be interested in LSU.....and come here.
I think he really likes us and we are a player.......but we won't know how much until Feb. 2013.

not being a dick, but lets put what you said into perspective...
you're saying that a person who (for example) went to UNO wouldn't have the same die-hard love for their school as someone who went to LSU? i'm not too sure i agree with you on that
you'd be suprised at the amount of coaches, who are in the high school game, who really put their kids #1
its not always the case though.. it could go both ways, i guess we'll see

For all the LSU fans that do not think you hvae a chance you are wrong. Like I posted earlier he has always had LSU as a top school. As a UA fan I like that he is commiting sooner than later but I have always said on our boards he was not a lock.
In regards to the timing he was interviewed a few weeks ago and stated he was ready to get the recruiting circus over with and may commit this spring. He actually broke off a deal he had with ESPN to do a post NSD signing like Clowney had. ESPN was going to turn it into a circus.
So no surpised he piocked the end of his spring season. But I also think whoever he commits to he will be solid. The fan base should be happy and not worry unless the the school has a huge collapse. His HC did not let him go to any camps last summer and he only took a few visits during the fall. Conn will not let the possibility of an injury happen because of camps or a circus take over their season.
Again I think LSU is a legit contender and once he commits he will be solid to whoever.

I want LSU to win!
It is at least incouraging for bama fans that his coach will favor bama. Some may argue but think about it is it even possible that the couch would favor LSU? Not in this universe.
It is a least incouraging that his dad says LSU is his favorite AND after his visit he sayed good things about LSU. Doesn't mean it is LSU but if he had not said great things about LSU after his visit then you know LSU would be out of the hunt.
DE is were he would be best suited to play at the college and the pro level imho. All this talk about him play DT is pointless. Brockers going pro will have zero affect on his desicion unless it is to steer him away from LSU because he doesn't want to be steered to DT by coaches.
