Well, there you go. This is clearly a situation that is not standard. LSU just doesn't want to take the risk
Are you saying that Les Miles and his staff are so incompetent at recruiting that they aren't aware of what classes an "at-risk" COMMITMENT is taking to academically qualify?
No wonder Nick Saban got Eddie Lacey elgible when LSU couldn't.
Actually, I don't believe the above statement because I know that LSU is very involved in knowing what classes their COMMITMENTS are taking. You just made an ignorant statement that implied that LSU had no clue about this kid's transcript. The excuse that LSU is giving is about a class taken last summer, 7 months ago.

I never made the statement you are pretending I made. That was you while you were building your little strawman argument.
When a kid's eligibility relies on several online courses he took to make up missing/failed credits, I'd say that is plenty enough standing for any school to reconsider the risk/reward of offering him a scholarship for the current year.
With the hard number rules that are in play, it's just the nature of recruiting. And, when a kid's academic standing is not in order come NSD, he is a fair target to be asked to grayshirt (effectively removing the risk for LSU).
