Is it remotely possible O is having the DTs play the game ...

Its possible, but tge chances of nick saban getting played are probably pretty slim

No, O doesn't have the Job security that guys like Saban and Dabo have to be doing stuff like that

Yeah, no.

Apparently O didn't accept a commitment from Kennedy for some reason. In theory it's because O knew Kennedy would jump ship to bama once he got an offer. It's no secret that saban will go after LSU recruits just to keep them from going to LSU. He did this with Matt Womack. So could O be playing this game and have confederates with some of these recruits? Maybe, but they would have to be all LSU to begin with. O said he would flip the script. I think he is on the way to doing this. But regardless what happens in the spring and summer, flipping the script will only go so far until he flips the script in the fall. O can sell recruits on LSU building an elite program for a couple years, maybe even 3, but if they don't beat bama and/or win a NC, recruits will stop buying into the talk. LSU and O must walk the walk. A NC will go a long way into flipping the script.

To make a big splash on NSD and string Bama along ? Any chance of that

Nope, as another poster stated O doesn’t have the political clout to do that, especially if it fails! Aleva is gone, so if we lost let’s say Roy “who is very highly ranked” to Satan and it came out later that O was trying that strategy and it backfired and Roy went to Bama. What do you think would be the blow back from students, fans, alumni and sports writers? Not to mention how much heat he would catch internally!

Nope O doesn’t have that kind of clout yet!

LSU is known for its players getting high draft picks

I'm not sure I like that game

I'm there with ya on that.

I'd rather just recruit and win recruiting battles straight up than all the drama and head games.

But, that's what society is now. The reality tv/social media generation where everything has to be a fricking clown show swathed in hues of disinformation. I guess if that's the dirty game we have to play because we know the Evil Midget is masterful at it, then so be it. Hopefully Orgeron is every bit as ruthless but more personally charming.

Seeing these kids play the game makes me appreciate guys like Kardell Thomas and Devin White even more, as those are among the minority of players that man up, commit, help recruit others and remain solid through the process after commitment.

I guess I'm just old school. I always shyed away from even positive attention and would rather redirect it toward others that helped me to get said attention in the first place. That, and my dad and grandpa raised me to stick with something once I commit to it and always give 100%.

These traditional values are dying

I can’t even comment... lmao.

But if the OP is right, he gets mad props and we get two great players and a complete reversal of perception. Woodward doing work
