What do you think his job is?


He is suppose to go on Twitter and make lsu look like the place to be. He is suppose to put out tweets like lsu has the momentum in a recruiting battle.

His title is "Player Relations Manager - Football". I'm not sure arguing with Billy Liucci and random trolls on Twitter is in his job description.

My guess is it only bothers people who have zero life outside of football. I feel kind of sad for those people.

“Oh nooooo!!! We didn’t land Bussey even though there was cryptic tweets by Sherm!”

Who the hell cares. If your opinion of this situation was anything more than “it would be cool if we landed Bussey but even if we don’t, life will go on just fine” you are too wrapped up in LSU football.

His tweets aren’t for you. Grown men shouldn’t be getting triggered by them

Too sensitive to follow recruiting. I’ll add this, u WONT quit talking about Wilson’s tweets. Why is he so in ur head? Why do u care so much? He creates a buzz about the LSU football program that teenagers care about, so continue with my blessing Mr. Wilson. GDT’s.

He used to have a lot of people convinced he was a real for real insider, until Lincoln Riley. Even after it became pretty clear it wasn't gonna be Riley, he kept posting about it, and it became the hill where his insider cred died upon.

Once again, you are totally missing the point. The problem with Wilson's tweets is they stir up people like yourself...so if he is in anyone's head it is yours and you don't even realize it. As I've said, I don't even follow a link to the posts by that clown anymore. He is embarrassing himself to be honest.

I do give him credit and have given him credit for one thing. He is so vague and his comments so vacuous that he won't put LSU on probation for commenting on unsigned prospects. As I've said, the person who is doing the proper posting is Coach Kelly who every time a player commits he tweets "Path to the Boot". That is That is 100% by the rules since he mentions no one by name. What this Wilson guy does is grammar school caliber stuff. Which reminds me...RussellSheppardsPie, you have your lunch right?

Maybe his tweets are for potential recruits, commits, and members of team & staff. He is too valuable for LSU and a Huge part of the staff.
But for a fan to get butthurt because he’s not satisfying your needs and your interpretation of his tweets is kinda of weird, just my opinion.

Just don’t take Twitter serious is the best option. The pissing between LSU & A&M today is ridiculous. Unfortunately our fan base can’t help but reply back 4/5 and sending cup pics.

The thing about it that our side should understand is that LSU owns A&M you don’t have to respond to everything.

I got 20+ texts about Bussey from people who don’t know me on here but personally and just sent them a thumbs up and move on.

Absolutely wild that some of these responses have turned this conversation to a thread from nearly 4 years ago!

I already admitted I was wrong!
I bring receipts to conversations so here you go:

I was wrong


I don’t try to claim to be an insider, this is a message board . All I do is share information I hear from 2 to 3 people I know that are close to LSU.

I’ve been wrong, and I’ve been right. Everyone was fooled on the Riley situation, and I am glad we were. Kelly is 10x better.

Hey cap, yea this thread turned into a mess. Was not trying to throw Sherm under the bus, and I definitely wasn’t getting my hopes up. All I was saying is the cryptic tweets can get old, because it typically is NOT that serious, but the positive spin usually wins with us. I was more so trying to gather people’s thoughts about the situation, you know what a message board is for.

I’m with you. Sherm having fun on Twitter is nothing for us to read into anymore. He’s trying to get engagement which is what Twitter is for and the LSU brand getting mentioned by whatever fan base drives the numbers up.

It’s hard to not get excited seeing the gifs and everything he posts but I think we’ve learned this last two weeks to not rely on it as anything of substance

Yes, he is a nuisance HERE. Or more specifically, the threads involving rabbit holes and dead ends created by his cult followers on TD are the nuisance topics.
BTW, where is the proof that some of you give him credit for in pushing prospects towards LSU. Give me one single name of a commit that said, "Yeah, Sherman Wilson was the reason I signed with LSU."

I think his relationship with JD5 is worth mentioning. He’s close with the guys on campus.

I don’t know I’ve ever said Sherman is the reason a recruit came but I mean his job title is player relations so he’s good at his job

I do agree that we don’t need anymore Sherman Wilson tweet topics which I am certainly guilty of so you won’t be seeing anymore of those from my end

However, is it just me or is the cryptic tweets kind of getting old? I understand showcasing positive vibes and what not, but sometimes it can backfire. All week it can be assumed that he was hinting Bussey, similar thing when he posts eye emojis like a surprise is on the way.


That’s your own fault for being so dialed into tweets from people that know everyone bites on them and they troll the frick out of everyone.

I bet the water boys relationship with players is good also. Sounds sarcastic but I'm being serious. Add trainers, ball boys, whirlpool workers, etc.

You are a great poster and obviously you didn't cross my mind on this. Once again, I have seen 0 people here complain about his official job. What I have seen many people criticize him for are his over the top posts. The early, few tweets I have read from him (don't read them now) puts him as the Dick Vitale of LSU recruiting. Psst, I don't like Dick Vitale for the exact same reason.

And to repeat one more time, I don't think SW is posting here under an alias but it creates chaos when his vacuous and really meaningless tweets construct a bunch of dead end topics, rabbit holes, and wild, unfounded scenarios. JMHO. As many have done here, thank you for what you do on this forum.

Yea man, really seems like you should be talking about someone having no life.

I mean.. I think your 13,000 posts in a 5-6 year span really point to you not being one of those

It’s all good NOLA. Back and forth around here isn’t a bad thing we’re not going to all agree about everything. It’s what makes this board fun. Keep posting
