re: These LA kids going to Bama make me want to puke

You hit the nail on the head!


The best advice I can give everyone on recruiting is to never, EVER, buy into the hype. 90% of la kids are very fickle and their loyalties lie with whoever can provide the prettiest girls, most money, and the smoothest line of bs at any particular time. If you think most of these kids are doing it for the love of the institution, you are fooling yourself.

So... follow recruiting. It's fun. But, anytime you think we've hit a jackpot remember it's fools gold and will probably be taken right back before it said and done. Like this kid who committed for 2018 from lab. Everyone was booming for him. Shoot, this guy ain't locked in! He'll probably decommit and go to bama like his other lab brethren. I ain't fooled.

So, don't get overly invested and don't look at crystal balls and potential booms. Those are marketing ploys. Those recruiting guys don't have any more of a clue than you or I do. (Actually, probably less of a clue because they're being led around by the nose by a 16, 17, 18 year old kid who thinks it's fun to screw with people cuz it gets them more attention.
