re: Another RR Article in Bham News

LSU still has a great chance to land him. This is the only board I know of that has doomsday scenario written all over it. The premium boards seem to feel good about RR to LSU too.

What you posted isn't really new info anyway.

I dont think GMac is a world beater but his HS numbers(all we have to go on) were imprssive

Because he played for Southlake Carroll, which is an absolute juggernaut in Texas. Can you say "product of the system?"

If they're not enjoying the process, then why not go ahead and commit? That's a good sign for us IMO. I'll be rooting for the young man wherever he goes, as long as he isn't playing against us that week.

Gump said it more gracefully than I did...

For the record, I'm not a hater, and hope like hell he comes to BR, my only point was that if he hasn't committed by now to me that seems to favor Bama.

All Randle has to do is look at how LSU has misused Terrance Toliver since TT has been here.

Misused? OK so he sat behind two very talented upperclassmen his freshman year, but still managed to get on the field as a freshman.

Then his sophomore year he had a little work ethic issue, got passed up by Chris Mitchell, who had a very good first half of the season.

Then TT came on in the second half of the season and ended up having a good year.

Now he is in line to start alongside LaFell in his junior year, with two years to elevate his game to NFL levels.

I really don't see how we've "misused" him. He was young. We had other good receivers. That is how it goes...doesn't matter how many stars you had coming outta HS.

(This is a general post to the board)

Why post "anti-recruit" or "potential backlash" statements on the internet anyway?

If you are truly a fan, why would you leave yourself wide open like that.

There are plenty of recruits, their friends, and family members that come by the boards without posting or identifying themselves. Just to get an idea of the rumors that are going around. Believe me, dmitch is visiting Bama boards as well. I know I do because I visit Tenn boards regarding J. Jackson.

I went to school with Janzen Jackson's step-mom who has been in his life since he was two years old and she is a good friend of my relative. Yet, I have not bothered them about this process because it is ridiculous how schools, media, and general public are all over high school "student athletes". Not one person has mentioned a word about Randle choosing a school that may be better for his major. It's been about him satisfying you by catching a damn football at LSU where you may not attend one game. Hell, the people talking the most may not have attended LSU or ever played a sport in their life and claim to understand what he is going through.

You don't know who I am. Who I know. Or who I may be related to.

You so-called "Biggest LSU Fans" could be harming the school you claim to love so much more than you know by being so obsessed.

In closing, I can tell you that this board is not the factor that sways a recruit in the end, but it affects their friends and families that speak to them on a regular basis. What do you think they will tell him after this thread?

I'm as much an LSU fan as anyone, but I have to tell you that I haven't seen anything like this on Bama's boards. Maybe it's because RR is from another state so the passion is not the same, but the point is that I still don't see them posting things like some the entries I've seen today.

Remember that Recruits, Friends, and Family Members come by these boards, periodically, without posting or identifying themself. It's just to read and get a feel for what's in the air.

You don't know who I am. I might be a recruit or father of a recruit.

Some just need to think and be more reasonable. Others need to get a life.

God I hate this board

what i think some fans misunderstand, is that most HS coaches do not "push" their players to go anywhere. It's not their decision. Any good coach realizes that.


If Randle doesn't come here, fine. Let the kid go in peace. 1)He doesnt owe LSU anything. 2)LSU doesn't not "own" him because he is from LA. I just dont see why people(grown men) cannot be happy for an 18 year old kid, regardless where he goes.

Not everyone posting is a LSU fan. You have to keep that in mind, notice the low posting count of some posters? That usually indicates someone created a alt account to attack the RR family "claiming" to be a LSU fan. Secondly, this board has a lot of really young posters, most of which are 13-17 yrs old. They haven't really followed much LSU until the past few years and of course are naive, going to post dumb ****. Lastly, my favorite, you have bandwagon fans that have only followed LSU since their first NC year with Saban and don't know anything about growing pains with the program.

I think personally, Chicken needs to shut this board down until NSD. Its gotten to the point where its almost unreadable and the only thing it can do at this point, is cause more damage than good. This site needs stricter admins, especially since its so big. Right now its probably the most incompetent forum I've seen and that is including all the Bama forums I've visited. I'm to the point where I'm personally going to stop posting on the recruiting board until NSD, its horrible.
