Lol, that wasn’t a flip, Bear Bryant kidnapped him from his LSU Dorm room.

Chase was a big flip.

I never understand why these coaches go all in on one guy and not go after a few guys at that position. Saban and Dabo go after a few guys. Les miles and Orgeron only go after one or two guys of need when need more and need depth. Depleted at corner back, depleted at running back. Need a safety too.

Felipe franks is the flip that allowed LSU to eventually get Burrow. Had Frank’s stuck to that commitment, he would still be the LSU quarterback and probably struggling while Joe transferred somewhere else and had success. The same success he’s having this year? Probably not. But the point is that LSU wouldn’t be having this success without the Frank’s flip.

I can't recall if it was truly a "flip" because I don't remember if he was ever verbally committed, but all of the experts were predicting Kevin Faulk to Michigan. Him choosing LSU instead helped resurrect LSU post-Curly.

Janzen Jackson was the biggest WTF in the history of LSU recruiting. It ended up being the best thing ever for LSU because he was an even bigger piece of shite than we thought.
