so then this guy was just making shite up? thats fine if he was but hes pretty on point when it comes to LSU recruiting.

He's uninformed, if he doesn't understand that a grad transfer still counts as an initial counter. That's not a new rule that was just put in place last year.

And just because you are in the know about recruiting doesn't mean you automatically know the rules. Look at how many regional and national recruiting "experts" perpetuated the myth that the NCAA had imposed a 25 player hard cap that would prevent counting EE's in the previous class.

The staff was definitely trying to sign 26 guys, but the issue wasn't that they didn't think Tracy would count. The issue was that they were trying to say Seth Stewart should NOT have counted in the 2017 class, thus giving them room to sign 26 guys in 2018. I believe that under the previous rules Stewart would NOT have counted, but under the new rules he did.
