I thought I saw on this board where someone said he magically was open to other positions than RB immediately following attending Bama camp.

A) Am I remembering correctly?
B) Is that confirmed somewhere other than this board?
C) Is that why staff gave AJ Carter the offer

As it pertains to (c), maybe the cause and effect everybody is assuming is backwards. The assumption is LSU was dropped by him for taking verbal from Carter. Maybe LSU went ahead and pulled trigger on Carter because of info from/following Bama camp.

A) you are remembering correctly
B) SEC country article from FOUR days ago where he said LSU is still his top school LINK
C) No Idea. My hunch is that the staff is wanting to make sure in-state guys are definite takes before offering, whereas with out of state guys they might not mind offering guys they're not 100% on and process them later if better guys come along. I think that's why they were so adamant about in-state guys going to the LSU camps before getting an offer.

Along the lines of athlete vs RB, I think LSU was only atop his list because he wanted to play RB more than attend school at Alabama or Auburn. Now Joiner's attitude has changed and he's open to other positions, so it's natural that we fell by the wayside. And I think it's just convenient timing for him to drop us right after taking Curry and Carter. Probably not a coincidence that he just visited Alabama. I'm sure they helped him make that decision.
