What has Sopsher done that is any different than what Lee has done?
effectively, he's playing the classic Alabama recruiting game and he's being guided by a handler who has already steered kids to Bama
as has been said before, he's being told by Bama to make LSU think we have a shot so that we waste resources recruiting him, so that we can't go elsewhere. then, magically, he'll pick bama and we're double screwed

This entire thread needs to be nuked.

Is there a link to this comic book or is this something you made up?

This is SOOOO stupid! There is no proof of this at all. I swear, the conspiracies in LSU fan's heads are ridiculous.

Im with Penguin, double down. Ill do the same bet. Its been smoke and mirrors from the start.
This bet would prove nothing. Him coming to LSU isn't his point. His point is that Sop isn't leading us on. Which is not provable.
quote:
If it were me, I would either commit early, act like a leader and try to recruit others by setting an example, or string Saban along,
His coach stated in the article that he asked the kids not to focus on college, but on the season to win the State Title. They did. Not saying you're wrong, but that's what Sop and Lee have done.
quote:
Experience yields anticipated results. How is he vilifying Sopsher?
To say that Sop is leading the staff on so we waste resources is vilifying him. Its questions his morality.
quote:
Very few are truly bashing the kid.
Umm..... not even close. People have been bashing him since the start of the season. Especially after early signing period with posts like "If he was coming here, he'd have signed already!". That take isn't true.
quote:
Regardless, everyone doesnt like the barber/Sam Petito/Sopshers dad connection and the ones "bashing" are picking on the handlers, and for lack of a better word, adults.
This is true. Its sketchy. But it doesn't mean he is going to Bama.

it's not a conspiracy. worse has happened before (the womack situation that got us sanctioned). it's strategy
if i had the ability/power of Saban, i'd do this. it's a great strategy
ish complained about LSU when, allegedly, his coach had "shut down recruiting"
ish gave an expensive ultimatum to LSU (offer my brother, too), which we shockingly did. then his brother magically reclassifies to 2020 to avoid the possibility immediately after we offer
hell, ish even tweeted "roll tied" earlier this year
let's not act like there is no evidence or that ish hasn't done things to create anti-LSU drama

i hope he comes to LSU, but it's very unlikely
i'll bet you $50 he signs with bama. i'll only you 1:1 odds. if you're confident that he's not playing games, this is free money

Don’t tell me Surtain decided on Bama when he woke up on signing day.

in the same way that he wont chose Bama because LSU fans are meanies.
Just throwing this out there. This had an indirect effect on Surtain going to Alabama.

Slap on the wrist for a BS rule. no proof it was intentionally to get us in trouble. But the rule should be changed. (I know a little off topic)

His coach never "Shut Down" recruiting. I took it as he asked them to focus on the season. Im sure they all got calls from recruiters.
quote:

He publicly stated he wasn't going anywhere without his brother. he didnt only tell LSU.

It wasn't immediate. don't get your panties in a twist, ma'am.

I'm sure Dylan Moses tweeted a Geaux Tigers or 2.

i didn't say this. he made an expensive ultimatum that only LSU could bear, and we did...and it didn't amount to anything

it was like 2 weeks later. that's immediate in the context of recruiting (which takes years to develop relationships)

not after he decommitted

After the BAMA game, Justin Vincent was on the radio talking recruiting. The conversation was about recruiting vs. BAMA and the OL/DL and then turned to Surtain.
Per Vincent, who we all know has direct knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes, Surtain was committed for a while. He and his father called the morning of signing day and said he was signing with Alabama and (I’m sure it had a lot to do with what was said on the BAMA visit as well) that between fans at the stadium and what they read elsewhere (highly insinuated it was message boards), that they questioned O’s job stability and how much the fan base was actually behind the program.
This was two months ago so I’m obviously not repeating it word for word, but Vincent came out and talked about how we all act like players and recruits don’t see these things, but these are kids and they’re VERY easily manipulated by social media (consider the generation).
I get that as adults, you, me, and probably half the posters on this site probably think that these type of things don’t bother anyone because we don’t put so much stock into social media, but in the end....look who we’re discussing and what they have grown up on.

Except he could not be playing games and still go to Bama. This is like the 3rd time i'v had to say this. One doesn't equal the other.
And I'm not betting you on a 17/18 year old.

So you believe Surtain decided on the morning of signing day?

Yeah, the "allegedly" was bullshite. It was a dead period when it happened and wasn't a knock on LSU. It was a knock on the other schools that were cheating. He just didn't realize they were cheating. And even if it is true why would you bash a recruit over it?
quote:

I didn't realize this only meant LSU. Do you have a link where the ultimatum was specifically for LSU? I learn something every day reading this board. Can I use your made-up bullshite on other boards?
quote:
then his brother magically reclassifies to 2020
I thought I was watching David Coppperfield make the empire state building disappear. Magic is an amazing thing. Who would have ever thought a JUCO player could EVER reclassify. Yes sir, that was some damn MAGIC going on there.
quote:

You are full of half-truths today. He tweeted that in response to a local media person saying his home town should be annexed to Alabama. I would take offense also. Hell if I read this board I would be at any SEC West team I thought had a chance to crush LSU for the 3 years I was there. He is called lazy, accused of conspiring against LSU, posters saying they don't want him here. frick all of you assholes. He should go somewhere else just because of the idiot crybabies on this board.
quote:

He said he wanted to play with his brother. He responded to an idiotic statement by an idiotic newscaster insulting his home town. Yeah, that is beyond belief how much drama the guy has created.
It's never ending with him. At least once a year the guy creates a piece of drama. Will it EVER end?
