if I recall correctly, during a period that the staff could not call him at all per rules!!

That is not accurate. Phone calls from coaches to players are allowed during a dead period. The only thing banned is face to face contact with the recruit or his family. Phone calls, e-mails and text messages are allowed.

Hootie or his representatives reached out to the LSU coaching staff and the calls were not returned. There is a bit more to the story but the bottom line is the LSU staff decided to move on after Hootie committed to Alabama and they were not interested in reopening his recruitment.
