This is being controlled by Saban's Amite bag man/barber shop. We are holding 2 scholarships up waiting on Ish to make a decision. Sopshers father is stringing O along at Saban's request, I've seen this movie before.

We need to move on!
exactly right, happens everytime in that area, my post is not well liked but it's got to be expected

I heard somebody on a you-tube interview that Saban was on this guy long before LSU got involved. He's probably gone. I see we have only one D-lineman committed. Just one! Is there anybody else on the radar because if Fehoko and Lawrence leave early we are in a world of shite.

That's not entirely true. But Saban had better access early on than anyone else due to the Amite barbershop acting as the gatekeeper.

Agree, he's visiting Bama this week and would be very surprised if he doesn't come back showing us a lot of attention. Saban needs us holding spots for Rodney,Ish and D. Lee, 3 of our last 5 open scholarships.
O need to call his bluff with a commitment drop dead date soon!

A commitment now would mean nothing. Ish holds the cards until Dec signing period. That should be the drop dead date and then cut ties after that. That limits our options after that point, but still gives the staff about 6 weeks to find other options.

As all have said, we’ve seen the Bama behind the scenes show that had us waiting at the altar too many times now.

What's really shitty is that the staff doesn't think he's as good as his ranking, but are recruiting him so hard because of the perception of losing another in-state 5-star. I don't know about using two scholarships on a guy because it would look bad if he signed with Bama.

He went to Bama/Mizzou instead of LSU/Georgia this weekend??

Why is LSU even wasting their time and resources at this point? Writing is on the f-ing wall

A commitment from a guy like him doesn't mean shite. He could still just string us along and sign with the Gump.

If he doesn't sign during early period tell him your pulling brothers offer,and may,or may not have a spot for him depending on other prospects. I would have already pulled brothers offer.You gave him what he said he wanted,and he didnt jump on it.

No we don't. Go get another one of these top guys that want to come to LSU. This dude isn't as great as everyone is making him out to be. He is good but he is far from a can't miss prospect.

I love the film on the DT (Dalvin Hutchington?) at West Monroe. Don’t know why he hasn’t gotten an offer. Extremely quick and strong. Dorsey like quickness.
