Having Diarse on our team is a huge advantage for us in his recruitment, but as we've seen before, getting momma on board is the key

I see this a lot but I'm not sure why everyone thinks this. Now don't get me wrong, it will help that Diarse can give him insight on what to look for when/if he enrolls and getting first hand info from someone you trust really helps. But to think JD is one of the main reason we get him is pushing it. Hootie is going to do his own thing regardless. Are the buddies? Yes. Were they together 24-7? Not really. But from talking to John and his dad the past few years it's not the type of deal where they sat down saying lets attend the same school. With that said, I do know that JD talks up LSU every chance he gets and that can't hurt. It's just a matter of Hootie beign happy and Momma Hootie being happy and I think that will happen w/ LSU.
