I am happy to answer this. I grew up an LSU fan. I am originally from Louisiana. Most of my family is as well. My cousin played in Tiger Band. I love LSU. I did not attend LSU primarily because I played Football at the Division 2 level. I played Middle Linebacker, and unfortunately I ran a 4.9 40, and didn't understand the value of camps, and the recruiting process when I played. So I played D2. Just was not good enough for Division 1 let alone to run out of the tunnel as a Tiger. LSU is my first love. So naturally when kids that I mentor and Coach want to know where I think the best place to play ball and get an education at the Division 1 level is, my first instinct is to tell them all about LSU, its rich traditions, and what being a Tiger could mean to their future.
Regarding Quad, this has been something discussed over the last several years. When he asked me to help him with his recruiting and to guide him through the process, naturally LSU was a place that was foremost on my mind to tell him about.
That led me here. And the story goes on.
Quad has visited LSU twice. And the best thing I can tell you about his interest in LSU is deeply connected to his DNA, his mindset, his thought process, and his overall Character, which is wise beyond his years.
As a small insight to who he is, I want to share with you all something he said to me on his second visit to LSU.
As we walked though campus, and I am telling him all about different parts of campus, the history, the nostalgia, the culture, and what it means to be a Tiger, he stopped at a tailgate.
This tailgate had a rack of LSU helmets, placed neatly by the curb. He stopped and picked up each helmet, looked at it with a look on his face of admiration, and intense curiosity. This rack contained every style of helmet that LSU has ever had dating back to the leather helmet days. He picked up every single one and held it for a few minutes. He didnt say a word.
As we left the display, he said the following thing to me that really resonated.
"Coach the thing I want to feel most from visiting College Campuses, is that I can bring my future children to the school when my playing days are over, and for my kids to be proud that their Dad played ball at that particular school. Coach, I want to feel at home. Coach, I feel at home at LSU. I want to walk my son that I will have one day through this campus, just as you have and teach I'm all about what makes LSU home"
At that moment, I knew that Quad wanted to be a Tiger. Not because I am a Tiger at heart, but because he felt at home.
My friends, when I say that he wants to be a Tiger should LSU offer, I mean he 100 percent wants to be a Tiger. And I do believe in my heart and my mind, that Quad Brown can lead the Tigers to a Championship.
And as Forrest Gump would say..."Thats all I got to say about dat"

I don’t know about y’all but I’m sold. Even got some goosebumps from that post. I don’t know whether or not he’ll pan out but he seems talented enough for a spot on this team. He seems to have the drive and especially the want to be a great Tiger. These are the kids we need and want wearing our colors.

LSU needs this kid. The Quads of the world, which are few and far between, is what LSU needs right now. Quad would truly, “Bring back the magic,” to Tiger Stadium. Just look what his story has brought to this board. Imagine that x102,000 plus.

Well Coach, if I wasn’t already a big enough Quad fan you just put me over the top. Not only do we want great athletes at LSU but we want kids that understand how big of a deal it is to represent this university and the privilege it is to be able to play in Death Valley for 3-4 years. As a lifelong LSU fan and alum, thank you for sharing this moment. GEAUX QUAD!!!

Quad gets it. If he goes tailgating one time at LSU, he'll be all in. I had a cousin that grew up in NC. He moved to LA. The first time I took him tailgating at Tiger Stadium, he told me we should have our family reunions on saturday before an LSU football game. He got goose bumps sitting in the stadium. This has happened to more than one person on their first game in death Valley.
I can't imagine being player on the field for a game.

This is the most amazing post I've ever read on this site. Coach that touched me. Having a son, I could only imagine how awesome it would be to be able to bring your kids back to LSU and them be so proud! Man.. I really hope Quad ends up here. Sounds like a kid that cares about the University and wants to bring it back to dominance. I'm in.
