So we aren’t offering competitive money?
Not the straight cash that they wired his family. We can be very competitive with NIL. They sent Damari Brown's bag to Ricks. They went ape shite when Brown went to Miami.
This is info I got from Miami people that are in the know. I don't know anything from LSU side.

Ricks wants to be a Tiger at heart and does not see himself playing anywhere else
Bama is making it hard and offered him the type of money to where Ricks might not be able to say no
Its one thing if a recruits only driving factor is the most money, but If a coaching staff knows a recruit has his heart set on another school, yet they say to the kid "I understand that, but we're willing to pay you X amount more" and its too much for the kid (or their family) to turn down....every coach that does that deserves for that player to not align and then enter the portal after year 1.
Maybe Im naive but Id think coaches would be wary about bringing in a kid who had his heart set on playing for an opponent and was only willing to come to their school for more money (or because their family pressured them to take the extra money). Seems like recipe for backfiring ala 8&4.

I’ll say it again
Since 2018 m-2021 BAMA has signed 100 recruits
Of that 100
42 have entered the transfer portal.
42% signees transferred

I think it’s 50/50. No one knows what’s going on. We will see tomorrow afternoon. Kid could be doing all this and sign with Deion or something. Imma let it rest. If he goes to Bama, we will be okay. With the exception of Landon Collin’s and Surtain most recruits that pull this bs with us don’t pan out. If he’s in crimson I hope BTJ mosses the shite out of him next season.

Strict orders from the top to keep it under wraps but then they'll be given access to peddle the story of the coup Nicholas L. Saban pulled off to steal LSUs prized recruit.
The radio silence on their end is telling. Not "we don't know", not "it's trending our way", not "keep an eye on it". They're not saying one damn word. They know.

I’ve tried to let this one go and hope for the best. LSU will be fine regardless of his decision.
On a different, hopefully a bit more humorous note… imagine this kid storming our field when we beat bama in a classic, just to commit to them?!
What a world we live in haha

Maybe. But that’s a lot of people to try to control. I don’t think even Saban has that kind of power

It’s weird watts hasn’t come out with anything yet. In years past with battles like this, he would have a pick in about 7 or 8 the day before the announcement.

Yep. That was Toviano.

Cap I’m scared to ask, but did we ever see anything from Watts over there? May sound crazy but I had to quit following this stuff to sleep a few hours. I know it was wrong.

Sorry if it was just JT but I am almost certain I saw them both storm!

The commitment watch streak comes to its end. Was a good run though!
