Just like his Dad then.

Once again, I know this is a forum and I am all for free speech, but sometimes I read this site and just shake my head. Who are the grown men and women who are the kids?

If a kid has talent, then it's the coaches' job to convince them why coming to LSU is in their best interest, it's the parents' job to advise them to go to the school that is in their best interest, and it's the kid's job to choose the school in their best interest and follow that up with choices that put them into a position to succeed. If they have a bad attitude or any other deficiencies, that needs to be identified and addressed by any or all of the above.

Hopefully all of this speculation amuses the family more than anything. The fact that they thoughtfully do what they think is best for their own should only be seen as a good thing. If Arch is the real deal, then let the recruiting battle begin. I like our chances.

This will seem petty, but I don’t like the kid. Coached against him for baseball this summer and he’s an arrogant turd. Most of the little shits from Newman are that way so I guess I should have known I know. I’m a POS for holding this opinion

Honestly you have that right and to be honest, Cooper and Peyton were exactly the same as kids. I was in between them and saw both but only played against Peyton and he was a spoiled little rich kid too. That really has more to do with their environment and not so much their character to me because it appears that all of them were turds growing up but as adults I have been nothing but impressed with any of the Mannings.
