re: Are recruiting leaks coming from people at LSU?

Name a paysite that hasn't done the same thing. And I'm talking about the LSU-specific sites, not the networks in general.

Regardless of your answer, I'll say: "You are wrong." Unless your answer is "They all do it."

I think at the end of the day, it's easy to see what happened here. Jimmy was at an event. Kid told him he was going to do something (apparent from the quotes). Somebody LSU related confirmed to him that it had been done this morning. Based on what the kid told him yesterday and what he was told today, Jimmy reported it.

Was Jimmy the only local recruiting guy at the Florida 7-on-7 tournament? If so, I'd say that's probably the only reason he's the only one reporting it like he did. The others are "protected" by not being there and hearing what the kid said there.

Sounds to me like the kid just has to have an aternoon pow-wow with mom and his coach before he makes it official.
