nope...
i think him seeing a very big comeback victory by OSU struck an emotional chord with the kid, making him reconsider his probable Texas commitment.... seeing that win the other night made him rethink about how "committed" he was to Texas...
i'm not saying that seeing OSU win the other night all of a sudden put them on his map... its not like OSU just came out of nowhere with this kid... they have been around the top of his list just as long as Texas, and considering he's not from Ohio, there has to be some sort of emotional bond or attachment to them... and seeing a team, that he obviously likes to a certain degree, win a big rivalry game, on national TV, and it was a comeback, at that, evidently gave him pause to what he was about to do and is making him rethink some shite...

You're reading way too much into this.
He's been getting crystal balls, from pretty accurate experts, all week to Texas. Any delay can only help us.

There was an article out there from Cook himself who said that all the hype for Ohio State and Texas were just assumption from bias media. No one gave LSU a real shot with him but from his mouth, after the visit with Raymond, he said LSU is really giving him something to think about and that he's honestly torn.
Now he sets his date back, it's obviously good for LSU. I don't think he was going to commit to LSU this week, so it's good news for LSU for sure. I think LSU has some of the best closers in the country when it comes to recruiting so any date that is set back is good for us.
We really need to start closing in on some SEC ready DLman and OLman. Then if we can land 2 or 3 of these 5* corners then add a nice safety, LSU will be in a great spot for the next class to load up. I trust our staff, those guys know what they are doing. I think LSU could use some bigger LBers as well. We need some men on that front 7. The guys we have on our roster in the OL look to be much tougher prospects than we've seen in the past. I think these guys are going in the right direction, and O really does have a good feel for these recruits and how they might develop. I honestly believe he's one of the best in this department.
Once LSU gains some momentum on the recruiting front and we stack our roster up 2 deep across the board, we should start hiring a huge ghost staff to recruit in all parts of the country. Some for the NW, east coast, and west coast. Someone to start relationships and try to get as much information as we possibly can get. If others can do it, or afford it, LSU can as well. We have to start spending more time or money in this department. It pays off huge for your school and the coaching staff can spend more time on the team and coaching. Gain some momentum, get some money from a big bowl game and start investing that money in recruiting all across the country relentlessly. GT

no shite... which is why i said as much.... did you skip over that part?

okay... but i'd bet my salary that if Penn State doesn't go full retard and beats OSU by double digits, like they did for a majority of that game, Cook keeps his commitment date and verbals to Texas... you don't see the fact that he announced it AFTER the game as anything? you think that's purely coincidence, huh? perhaps, but again, given the guy liked OSU enough to have them that high signals, to me at least, that he's got some serious connection to OSU, serious enough that he put off his scheduled commitment... could be nothing, but if it was just "he needs more time", he could have announced that BEFORE the game... but he didn't... so, here we are...

even with this delay, they are still the team to beat... i think this delay, again, WHILE IT HELPS LSU (that should clarify for some of you), i see it more as a positive for OSU than LSU...

yeah, "media bias"... quote:

plenty of analysts have said we been a contender for him, but that, ultimately, it's a Texas/OSU battle... the events from yesterday and today only confirm this, IMO...

i don't doubt this at all... LSU has a great track record at DB, and Raymond is a great recruiter...

i believe him... it's just that i see him, at least as of RIGHT NOW, torn between Texas or Ohio St.

Cook has been thinking about pushing his announcement back since his OV to LSU. This has nothing to do with tOSU beating Pedo State. He's concerned with Texas' record and knows that LSU will develop him better than UT. Had he not visited for the Auburn game it would be game, set, and match for UT. tOSU is a distant third at this point. Distance is too big of a factor.

i don't doubt that he may have been rethinking shite then.... i'm not saying he wasn't... i'm saying that the way things played out at OSU yesterday, and him seeing that, was the final "push" he needed to put the commitment on hold.... let's say you are right about this... why not do it before the OSU/PSU game? i truly believe that he was unsure by the time the game started, and once it ended, he was truly undecided and knew he needed to take some more time and announce the push back of the announcement...

so is Texas...

who doesn't know that?

yeah, no one thinks that.... if you are right, there are so many recruiting analyst wrong, that know one should have any confidence in ANYTHING they say, and we should never use them as sources ever again for anything to do with recruiting... i'm gonna go with the experts on this one... and they are saying it's OSU/Texas, with LSU making him think long and hard about the decision...
either way, we will be fine... if there's a position that we have recruited very, very well at, it's DB.... hell, we have 5 stars transferring out of here... we obviously have some talent and depth for that to happen.... losing out on Cook wouldn't be the end of the world... i want him, but realistically, he's a luxury at this point... we need RBs, OL, DL, etc. more than another DB to stockpile...

I’m not the one with tons of down votes in this thread. Maybe you should just let this one go and come back tomorrow.

Bro. You need to take a break tonight. You're actually getting people to up vote easterino. Think about that for a minute.

Good for everyone not named Texas.
When you are supposed leader and a commitment is pushed it typically means others opened him back up.
Could be viewed as a win for LSU and OSU, as we just got a visit / made a visit, and as they just had a huge win in a packed home stadium.
Was he visiting OSU or at home watching games?

this is essentially what i'm trying to say, though i think it's more positive for OSU than LSU.... but b/c i'm not pushing an LSU heavy agenda, people get sand in their vaginas...

I'm with you it could be either way or both. But I personally don't think it's more positive for Ohio State unless he was on a visit, which you say he wasn't.
We had him in for auburn I believe and followed it up with a visit to his highschool. I imagine he's intrigued/impressed by OSUs win but not more so than the recent exposure to LSU.

quote:Agree with both of you. Delay like this is usually bad for the 'team of moment', which appears to be UT. By definition if bad for UT, it's good for LSU and tOSU.

We've seen this before... it's business decision (LSU, tOSU) vs emotional/home state (UT). And there's no predicting which one he'll go with.
