Well, one, it wasn’t an announcement party. It was a signing party. The way that school did it was awesome. Burch maybe didn’t want to show up his boys plus muschamp was sitting 30ft away.


It was certainly a classy way of doing it with Muschamp breathing down his neck. USCe put a ton of pressure on those kids by being there and broadcasting it live on their youtube page. Basically gave them a chance to thank coaches, not be forced to embarrass muschamp if the gym went crazy if he chose LSU, and allowed him to sign the letter he wanted to.

Odd. Apparently Jordan has told people he already sent in his LOI.


It doesn’t say to who.

This is all so stupid. Technology allows people to send form in the blink of eye. Why play games? I don’t get it.


Muschamp is staring at him...his friends are staring at him....its very possible that they were just trying to keep it from being awkward and Uncle James may just be correct. If so, a lot of posters will owe Uncle by taking a big bite of crow pie.

Ok, just for fun, what could it mean if South Carolina has not yet received his LOI but in response to a question asking if he "sent his letter" (without clarifying the destination), Burch responds "yes sir"?

This is one of the biggest recruits for USCe in a while. They have to be shitting themselves right now.

How in the world does the scenario above not draw more attention than just saying "I commit to LSU."


He is going to USCe.


Because the school made an entire USCe set up. Does it make any more sense that he signed but didn't fax his letter? Something doesn't add up. No hopes, just submitting a possible scenario.

Theory:
Burch was definitely wavering on signing with USCe and Muschump and comp. staged that signing ceremony the way they did to put more pressure on him to sign with them.

“ One of the most intriguing recruitments of the 2020 cycle is closed, as five-star defensive lineman Jordan Burch SIGNED with South Carolina early Wednesday afternoon.”

I guess they could be wrong when they say signed, but that is what they are reporting

True. But if it was to LSU, we're not acknowledging anything either.

It would make more sense for LSU to keep it quiet if he sent it to us, while South Carolina would be shouting it from a mountaintop.

And do you think USC just forgot to report/validate back to the world that they received the fax?

Obviously that ‘journalist’ chose the wrong words.

Well, I mean he isn't announcing it until his grandma's birthday party...

i can’t think of a reason why he wouldn’t confirm his commitment with Muschamp in the same gym unless he was coming here. Couple that with flipping the paper over quickly and refusing interviews, it just sounds like there’s a decent chance he flipped and didn’t want the drama. Who knows.

What I found interesting was the other lady at the table was wearing the leopard print top and gold scarf and once she sat down removed the gold scarf. They then move the helmet to the other end of the table in front of mom in a position to block line of sight possibly. Burch looking over his shoulder a few times was interesting also.

Strange body language indeed and I think there might be something cooking here.

Y'all. The dude had to go back to class. You heard the headmaster say "classes resume in 15 minutes" at the ceremony.

He'll have to wait until after school to get to a fax machine and fax it in.














To LSU.

Yep if USC had received the letter they absolutely would have posted something official by now

There is zero chance that USCe wouldn’t be announceing probably the biggest recruit they’ve ever landed immediately when they received it.

247 still has Burch as a commit and not signed. At least it seems 247 wants to get a glimpse of the signed LOI until they report...props to them.
