re: I feel horrible for Antonio Blakeney

I don't feel bad for him. He could have gone to Louisville, Kentucky, Kansas, or UNC and chose to go to LSU because of Simmons. If I was a top recruit, there's no way I would pass up playing at a top program. That's like someone growing up in Kentucky and being a 5* RB with offers to Alabama, LSU, and Ohio State and choosing to go to UK or Vanderbilt, a team that may squeak into a bowl game every few years, just because your buddy is going there. He'll make plenty money by playing a sport, he'll be fine.
