That guy has been incredible with the impact he's made on Nashville area prospects. This is not an area where LSU has had any real success in the past, but Thomas has gotten us in the door with every big time prospect in that area. That guy needs a raise

Kyle Phillips and Dylan Jackson I know, who else? I don't mean that in a smart arse way, are there other guys he's helped with from 15 or other classes? I don't know.

So, who was the recruit from Tennessee at the breakfast Sunday (there was only one guy we hosted on the bye weekend; he was only recruit at breakfast Sunday)?

Unfortunately, these guys don't stay around too long. I think Jimmy Smith would be perfect for this job, even if Austin were to stay around. I know for a fact other schools have approached him for this purpose, but he's turned them down. My feeling is he's waiting for that offer from a certain school; one very near and dear to us.
Think about this, who has more contacts in LA, Fla and TX than Smith? Look at the 7 on 7 teams he's recruited, not to mention the trust Frank and Cory have in him. I believe this is where we could level the playing field with the huge recruiting staff two states east.

Where is the holdup? This sounds like a solid move.

Are you Cinci6962 or something close to that at 247? Just curious...

Joejuan Williams is from Nashville and speaks about Austin being from there. All three of those guys are high profile prospects with insane offer lists. Pulling any one of them will be a coup.

Umm, I don't think he's well liked by the staff right now. That's what I was told anyway.
Who told you that?

That wouldn't be very smart with half his 7 on 7 team being big time wants. I have trouble believing this, it's well known that he, Cory Raymond and Frank Wilson are tight.

Carville is Jimmy D for those that don't know that by now. No obsession. I know some people you have wronged over the last four or five years and would love to know why you believe you are so powerful the staff should fear you, coddle you, or be worries about the kids on your 7 on 7 team not going to LSU as a result of them not liking you. Please explain and not deflect.

PS, I do like hearing about your inside info, but suspect it is gathered the wrong way
