Sweet jesus you are all over the place. One minute the recruiting services count the next you trust the coaches evaluations. You don't trust Aranda's though we know that. You even refuse to believe a recruits forty time who by this time has had it checked by multiple entities repeatedly. You pick and choose whichever piece of information you want to bolster your argument while ignoring information that doesn't. You argue like an hysterical woman. You've posted a lot of stuff yet you haven't won many people over. Anyway have a great day. You haven't been successful here. Hopefully that's a comfort.


#1 I do trust Aranda, but I have not heard him, out of his own mouth, say that McCallum is better than Harris and he offered Harris first, not McCallum. And, due to recruiting rules, Aranda can't publicly say anything, you know this. I think McCallum is his fall-back plan because he can't get or doesn't think he can get Dean or Harris. I don't buy the line that is being sold to us that Aranda prefers McCallum. Don't put words in my mouth. Aranda is a Great Coach, but he is not as good as Saban is GREAT! Saban is the GOAT at DC and will always be Bama's real DC until he retires.

I don't need people to agree with me to know when I'm right.

I'm not a suck-up to internet bullies who are into group think...that is what is wrong with Corporate America and the USA. I think for myself and use critical thinking skills.

You made no comment on how 40 times are not updated and can be old.


Recruiting service rankings are all we have to go on and coach's offers. Recruiting rankings are to be taken with a grain of salt and used in conjunction with offers. Offers and verbal commitments to the top ranked "NC" winning programs do tell a story of top talent. That's just recruiting. It's not an exact science and anyone who follows it knows that. Star rankings are not precise and do not guarantee future results, but on the whole, statistically speaking, using thousands of rankings on thousands of recruits, the averages hold true for most top ranked recruits, while, at the same time, exceptions to the rule can coexist. Exceptions to the rule will always exist, that's life, that statistics, and that's recruiting.

These are not the arguments of a hysterical woman, but that of analyst who doesn't buy false narratives and group think. I question that which does not add up and back that up with facts to the contrary that don't fit the narrative others are putting forth to cover someone's Azz whom they are emotionally tied to! I root for LSU, not the coaches per se. That separates me from much of LSU's fan base and the Admins.

You are just trying to discredit me and mischaracterize what I said. Saban has not offered McCallum and Harris has verbally committed to Saban. If you are this clueless, then I can't help you. Harris played CB and WR in HS and McCallum played ILB. Tell me when the 40 times were taken...as Sophomore and Jrs...or Seniors? It makes a huge difference.

I'm fighting a false narrative that has been going on... on this site for over a year...I don't expect many converts.

The frick if I am. You've discredited yourself and I had nothing to do with it. I merely pointed it out. You have a good day.

You have to be dizzy running in circles like this. No one said McCallum is better. But, we do have film of him actually playing ILB and the coaches got to evaluate him there. Harris did not. Do you have film or some assessment of Harris as an ILB which is where we would have recruited him? I won't wait because you don't and neither do our coaches.

Also, we have Starks who is actually rated higher as an ILB than Harris is as a WR/CB which is his true position.

I'll give you another example of our coaches going off of their evaluation. Devin Bush wanted an offer by all accounts and was a solid 4 star. We did not offer him, but did offer lower rated CBs instead.

Our coaches have certain players that fit their system. It doesn't mean Bush or Harris won't be great players. They just don't fit what they are looking for based on their defensive philosophy. Getting a higher rated player to win the recruiting trophy doesn't mean shite. If they lose out on a player they want then that's a different story.
