re: Stop the negative comments when recruits don't choose LSU

some people give this website so much more credit than it deserves. I'll be 100% honest and say that if an 18 year old adult and incoming college freshman lets a few negative comments on the tigerdroppings recruiting board of all things steer the biggest decision they'll probably ever make in their entire lives, then they probably don't have the mental stability and "it factor" required to handle the rigors, stresses, and pressure of being highly successful at a major SEC football program

There is some merit in what you are saying, but its clear this kid's recruiting decision making is a little shaky and impulsive and subject to change. Not every recruit has the maturity and family structure that Leonard Fournette had which allowed him to filter out negativity and make the decision that was best for himself. With others they need time to mature and might over react to the negative comments by those swooning over him before his commitment. Remember, he is only seeing comments about himself on the LSU board as opposing fans know little about his situation. Just wish some did not get to overly invested and personal. You are right we cannot control every one.
