That's a good explaination for not visiting other schools particularly USC and Florida. A&M is not that far and other recruits from the area may have gone there a former HS team mate of his plays there and may have family or been home going back himself at some point. Seems to me that if he was seriously considering going there he would have tried to get over there a least once. It still doesn't explain why he came to LSU at random times over the summer and hung out with current and future players. If he wanted to just hang out with his uncle, why wouldn't he do that when Frank is in NOLA or just go to his house?

Because I believe him when he says LSU isn't in his top 3 and I'm the one out on a limb?

I never said anything about being you being on a limb, however, we could probably fill a phone book with names of kids that said 1 thing and did something else during recruiting. Didn't Rasco and OBJ say they were going somewhere else only to sign with LSU on signing day? Tosh Davis said he was all LSU up to the time he signed a LOI with Texas. I'm sure we can come up with many more examples.

Like I said, it doesn't make sense to me. What is gained from doing this? Unless all of the other potential LSU recruits know that he is trolling it just doesn't seem logical to do this.

you are thinking more like an adult and not a kid. There a lot of things players do that makes no sense to me. Given all the scrutiny he's under, Manziel's antics this weekend vs Rice makes no sense to me. Again, we could sit here all day and give examples. I also don't understand why people tweet to these kids about what school's they are going to.

No, I responded to a post I disagreed with, you escalted. I respond not just for the person I was responding to, for you to react, but also for others that just lurk to see the other side.

True and in my opinion you are selecting points to support a view that he is not coming to LSU, what ever your motives and of course he might not. I prefer to look at the big picture and there is a lot more that says he will wind up at LSU. That could be wrong, but I see no reason to think he won't just because of a couple of tweets.

Points have been made and really nothing more to say.

But, I think you're right. I don't understand the twitter and trolling on the internet thing.

I'd love to see the kids in P&G and still feel like there is a chance we will, but just not optimistic about it.

Two recruits don't make or break LSU and once they make their decision, it's time to welcome them or move on to the next one that wants to play here.
