24/7 had a guy sit down with Hootie and his mom the day he decommitted.

Tifwiw, he said Hootie asked him to not share their conversations yet. The analyst hasnt, but has switched his crystal ball pick to LSU.



Are you talking about Kipp Adams?

If so, he never actually talked to Hootie or his mom. He just put a call into them and they havent called him back. His CB pick to Hootie is based on speculation, said so himself.

That's new to me. I don't subscribe to 24/7 so if you do I'll take your word for it.

I just think it is asinine to think the staff cooled on Hootie for performance.

I also think it is asinine to suggest our staff got offended because he picked Bama and wouldn't take him as revenge.

while i generally agree, you can't 100% say this is the reason they'd decline his commitment.

what if he told Miles the night before his announcement he'd be committing to LSU, only to have the Cams show up and then announce Bama?

what if he told the staff that his visit was great and his mom loved it and appreciated the way she was treated and then all the stuff about his visit not being all that great, etc?

if they're really not pursuing him any longer, i have to believe it's more because they feel played/lied to than it does due to performance to because he chose Bama then questioned his decision. a Louisiana recruit committing to Bama and then changing his mind and wanted to be a part of this potential mega-class would do alot for the fans confidence in the staff.

No one has said this and that is far from the reason he isnt a take right now.

The only thing I could maybe see is them remembering TD and JJ and unfortunately Hootie would be judged from their actions.

That's just unfair. I dont see miles doing it

He signed financial aid agreement forms, so they actually can.

There's a shite ton of information floating around from lots of different sources.

I don't think anyone knows the full truth, at this point.

not arguing with you, but I see these type of scenarios differently.

Not only will taking a flip from Bama obviously help LSU with that position/player, but it has further reaching recruiting implications. It CAN, won't always but can, create a perception that affects other recruits.

I guess what I'm saying is that a flip is a Commit+++, which is better than a Commit.

He can't. Stinks like a troll. Take your pick between Bama and the black bears

It is hard to give someone with only 7 posts that would say that any credibility as a true Tiger fan. It seems to me that you're just a Bama or Ole Miss troll with hopes that Hootie will see more posts like yours and become discouraged with LSU.

...His statement could very well be true ...

That's not good enough to throw it out on a message board and let it stand unsubstantiated.

While we're just making up stuff there might possibly be a tribe of purple wookies living on the moons of Jupiter
