Well Thomas probably won't be welcome at a lot of places in baton rouge anymore.

If AT flips some of our guys I'd be pretty pissed

It won't be a great sign if O can't shut it down that's for sure.

Has UT even named an OL coach? If they have Traore doesn't have a relationship with him.

Only way I see Traore flipping is if he is really pissed with how LSU handled this deal and is overly emotional about it.

You’re crazy. The guys position coach just left LSU and AT is doing his job. College football recruiting is very competitive. You’re crazy if you don’t think O or anyone else on the LSU staff wouldn’t do the same thing if they left for a new job.

Well he doesn't have a relationship with LSU's new OL coach either.

None of our o-line recruits have a relationship with our new coach and hopefully he is at least on phone calls with these kids and their familynalong with Grimes doing anyway conversation before he bows out and the new guy makes his pitch for why their kid should stick with LSU.

My opinion is if a kid decomits because a position coach leaves then he wasn’t ever coming anyway!

I 100% disagree. AT doesn't even coach... AT ALL. He's part of NOTHING on the field.

Ive coached a lot in my day and have been in this position numerous times. I never reached out to a recruit in this way. If a player or their family called me, I'd tell them that they needed to do the honorable thing and let the current people know that it was their decision to open things up..

This was always my approach.

Without Honor, what do you have?

Exactly who is their O line coach and what relationship does he even have with him? Pruitt won’t even be there till after the playoff game I believe.

TN doesn’t have a staff yet alone an OLine coach and their head coach is still busy tying to win their biggest rival ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP I mean how stupid right?

I think when O sits down with him and shows him Creggs credentials the TN visit will be squashed.

Y’all need to quit freaking out with “flip” talk so easily

So kid would have weighed his options if AT was still at LSU?

If he didn't flip to Texas why would he flip to a school like Tennessee

He's talking about Grimes not Austin Thomas. Grimes is leaving LSU for BYU.

Cregg has a better resume than Grimes or Will Friend. Badara will realize it tomorrow when the LSU staff goes up there to see him.
