He feels confident that Ricks will pick LSU.

This would be absolutely huge for this class and the restoration of DBU.

Possibly one of the biggest recruits the Tigers have ever got.

Kelly going out of state and scoring Ricks would be a great sign for what’s to come.

I see the words and I hear what you’re saying… but my brain interprets the information as “he’s going to bama.” -Bill Embody.

This has all happened before, just like this.

That’s what saban does. Makes LSU spin their wheels on guys like this so that we are left with no backup options.

That's probably a bit much when you consider LSU signed guys like Fournette, Stingley, Peterson. Hell, even Perkins. ALL of whom were much higher rated. It would be a great get at a position of extreme need. But one of the biggest every? Probably not.

Him announcing on Thursday instead of tomorrow is concerning. When it gets to day two the bidding can get out of control.

Nakobi Dean was a prime example of that strategy.

The difference this time is that Watts at Bama 247 is definitely softening the ground for not getting Ricks. When a Bama mod starts saying a 5* corner is "overrated and not necessarily elite", that's a pretty big tell that Bama doesn't feel like they are in the driver's seat

Watts has always been very transparent in his reporting. When they know they have a kid, even though every bit of public info says otherwise, he confidently states that Bama will be ultimately closing

Gotta wonder when recruits start to question how many years are left in Saban’s tenure in Tuscaloosa… Geaux Tigers

That was pre-NIL. Promising a Charger doesn't have the same impact as it once did.

He was ranked number 2 in the 2024 class before reclassifying to 2023. In terms of talent and being an out of state target this is huge. Could be mentioned up there with those guys.
Don’t downplay this.

So he's going to bama. That's what I got from that

It’s done folks. Billy doesn’t sugar coat anything. The pick is also with a 70 confidence. Damn near a lock. Major win for the staff
