He's going, this shite more common then you think. Clowney waited till the 14th of Feb.

Who can forget Alex Collins mom running off with his LOI to Arkansas refusing to sign it, then having his dad sign and then mom hiring an attorney.

So LSU still has a slim chance here??

Putting Burch and Evans in the same category is bullshite. Burch has done absolutely nothing to drum up drama or put himself in the spotlight. The worst thing he could possibly be accused of is being indecisive. Evans, on the other hand, is not only indecisive, but has seemingly backed out on his word to multiple coaches, has conduct issues, has grade issues, AND has done a whole number of things to try to stir up drama and speculation regarding his recruitment.

Get down off your fricking high horse and READ. I did NOT equate Burch to Evans personally. I know full well the difference between them. I clearly said the situations are different. Considering that anyone who hangs out here knows the whole story with Evans, I didn’t feel the need to recount it all.

I was simply saying that their situations and actions, though very different and with likely polar opposite motivations behind them as well, have lead to a lot of drama, which the recruiting services are eating up tonight. There is nothing about that statement that isn’t true.

I did say the pair were “drama personified,” but look at what’s happening. I don’t think Burch is being a diva at all. However, whether it’s family pressure, trying to please people, or just not knowing what to do, his indecision is absolutely dramatic. How could anyone possibly say otherwise? The kid has verbally committed in public twice and still hasn’t signed. Have you ever heard of anything like that before?

I’m not taking a shot a Burch here. He’s a kid faced with a huge decision that a lot of people care about. I decided to back out of a scholarship offer elsewhere and go to LSU in early July, so I would be one hell of a hypocrite if I said Burch’s indecision was malicious or some kind of a character flaw. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t dramatic.

Ive seen 2 articles so far where the writer says Burch himself said he signed his NLI.

---

this could be true and it's still a fact that he didn't hand it to anyone at USC or LSU

quote:

But zero have him saying he signed his NLI to USC.

I went back and read the two. You are indeed correct, but in both cases it was USC beat writers at todays ceremony, so it would be extremely GOAT if he answered YES (to signing NLI) but knowing it wasn't to the school in question. COLD!
