re: Auburn Hot Board

L-S-U

That's my point. If a recruits says a school is in the lead, fans of that school will quote the recruit's words printed by that schools sites. I remember this guy that use to post about Seastrunk, I think his name was Born or something like that. Back then LSU fans use to deflect Auburn fans who claimed that they led for Seastrunk (especially after Big Cat Weekend) that Seastrunk said that he and Reed are like brothers. LSU assumed that Reed-Seastrunk were a package deal and a kid from Thibodaux is suppose to go to LSU. If a kid says a school is his leader, that school is his leader until he says otherwise. Let's just remember, we are talking about kids. They change their minds like they change their underwear. If you watch this video LINK Hill is all LSU. Now, LSU isn't even in his top 3 so it isn't unthinkable that a kid who was firmly committed to LSU to waver or change his mind. As quoted before, maybe the "money was too much." I don't think Collins is wavering but if he was why is it hard to believe?

as for the "No one thought LSU led on Reed". Here's a look back at Reed very early on.

And yes, Lache started the Lache Seastrunk U but LSU began to repeat it to Auburn to show that he was a LSU lock.

yep. it said everything I said LSU fans were saying about Reed. Let me copy some of what in that thread to make sure you are seeing what I'm seeing.

If LSU can't lock up a kid from fricking Thibodaux, then we're in trouble.

These kids should be to LSU like the Texas kids that commit to UT on junior day.

Reed and Lache are a combo from what I have heard, and LSU is in good shape with both.

I fully expect us to end up with both.

Exactly. LSU should be able to lock up a kid from the heart of Tiger country in Thibodaux like Texas should be able to lock up a kid from the heart of Longhorn country in Temple.

Yea, yea, I know he is originally from LA. So was Fluker, Myles, etc.

Memphis---didn't Born also say that Lache's recruitment by Auburn was SMU like??

I know and rightfully LSU fans began to say they were the leader because Seastrunk indicated that LSU led early on in his recruitment. What I'm saying is Auburn fans do the same thing after a player says that Auburn is the leader. But seems to me that a player tells an Auburn writer that Auburn is their leader and Auburn fans come on here and say they lead, people act like "how dare this obnoxious Auburn fan claim that they are the leader" even though Auburn fan are just repeating what a recruit says. Collins hasn't gave any indication that Auburn is in the running to my knowledge. Auburn fans are just going off Hill's words that Collins is interested in Auburn. I just don't understand why LSU fans are offended that Collins and Auburn are mentioned in the same sentence.

Yes he did, and that is why Lache dropped AU

Yeah, I am on a LSU recruiting board talking about the subject of the thread, which is "Auburn Hot Board" not LSU recruiting. I'm simply trying give an explanation of why Auburn fans claim they lead for a recruit (not specifically Collins because I never heard anyone say we lead for Collins). I'm trying to be reasonable and have a civil discussion. I understand that it hard to do that these days being that it appears that Auburn is receiving preferential treatment which pisses of other fanbase. I have not said anything negative about LSU. All I said was Auburn fans claiming that have a shot at a player isn't doing something that other fanbase don't do.

now this doesn't make sense to me. Born is saying that Lache spurned Auburn because Auburn was trying to do something similar to SMU right? Why didn't Lache make his good buddy, who he says is "like a brother" aware of this so that Reed didn't go into a SMU type situation? If they were close, you would think he would be looking out for Reed.

Reed was more than aware of it according to Born and yet tried to push lache. Lache wasn't having it though
