If he did that and we didn’t have any other commitments, don’t you think even this fan base would put 2 and 2 together? He’s going to let the kid have his moment. Schools have lost kids for leaking stuff like this. Want to take that risk?


I definitely don't think he should tweet HTT before 1:30 today. I was responding to VolTiger, who was responding to someone asking why we haven't gotten an HTT yet. To which VolTiger responded that Orgeron doesn't say anything until the kid announces. Which is false, O does this all the time. Sometimes it gets pieced together quickly and sometimes it remains a mystery for weeks or longer.

Wrong. He may say “Hold That Tiger” but he never comes out and steals a kid’s thunder before he announces.

There's a difference in telling the coaches you're going to commit to them, and actually giving the commitment. We know that it is going to be us, but he hasn't "officially" committed. If that makes sense. And with a commitment as big as Stingley, you don't want to do anything that might steal his thunder or upset him.

Damn dude. Read the thread. THat's EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING!

Do you think the coaches already know the decision? No "Hold that Tiger" from O.

VolTiger:

O won't ever say anything until the kid does

Me:

He's tweeted Hold That Tiger before the kid announces. This happens all the time. He tweets hold that tiger and then everyone rushes to this board to try and figure out who it could be.

Damn we have some idiots around here.

And you obviously think Fox does. Fair and balanced, right?

Do you know what hyperbole is?

I actually think Cain is very average relative to Hill, Fournette, and Guice. I think Emery and Davis are closer to the level of those players.

I spoke literally.

Stingley Jr. I don’t know about you’ll but I’m excited. This kid has the characteristics that we should look for. Can’t wait until he thrives in purple and gold.

You’re right, hyperbole was the wrong word to use there

However, it’s like people forget (or just straight up take for granted) just how good LF, guice, and hill were when it comes to LSU running backs.. of course a 17/18 year old kid would seem to be ‘average’ when compared to them

I think there are a couple elite backs near that caliber every year. I think Emery is up there and Davis is close. I think Cain is a tier behind. I'd be happy with Davis/Cain though, so don't get me wrong.

Back to Stingley...is this just going to go viral? No way to watch?

Near LF and guice’s caliber?? I seriously disagree with that. Man, LF was considered a ‘once in a generation’ talent, and you’re treating him like he was an average 4* back



Stingley said there will be no ceremony, no hats on the table, just a video that he’s releasing at 1:30

Thank you for saying this!

I watch his film and think to myself, this guy is not even close to a top 100 recruit. I honestly have no clue what people see in him.
