Hmmmmmm you don't say!

That's the best pitch? That's so basic.

Jimbo is an amazing recruiter. He would dominate at LSU. Anybody who wanted Orgeron over Jimbo at LSU is absolutely nuts.

does FSU run a 4-3?

I get the feeling that he was being told the LSU was going to stick him at NT and he believed them

Hope Fisher takes care of the players off the field better than he took care of the ex old lady

Jimbo really gained some street cred with the way he handled Winston. As sad of a display as it was, those kids know that Jimbo has their backs.

Obviously he can't say that Jimbo was offered the LSU job and LSU didn't wanna pay him what he was demanding, and so CEO was the fall back.

"Marv, do you wanna play for the A team or the B team? Cause LSU couldn't afford me... Here's the letter and the voicemail from Joe Alleva for you to hear!!!"

It's why Jimbo could so easily sway both Akers despite 2 other highly recruited RBs already committed and Marv despite the history with LSU and the distance/family factor.

Oh well, IMO LSU just got the best prospective defensive player from this class in Chaisson.

We can't focus on the kids that wanted to go somewhere else. LSU has a really good class this year considering.... Hopefully the product on the field this fall will only help us further.

Definitely got paid because that's the lamest excuse I ever heard for his reason to go to FSU. Akers probably got some too.
