From a parents perspective, If the kid wants to go to South Carolina


From the perspective of a parent, this isn't always that simple. Ultimately, yes, you want your kids to make their own decisions. That said, if you see that the decision that they are making doesn't make a ton of sense or is being made for the wrong reasons, you try to steer them the right way. If my son says, hey, Dad, I want to be a chemistry major, but I am following my girlfriend to art school, I may be inclined to intervene.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, the signing dates force decisions to be made that affect a young person, AND his family for a long time.

Give them the space to make their decision, on Their time.

The girlfriend theory actually makes a lot of sense.


When was this started to be said? We have been talking about his recruitment religiously for some time now and literally no one has ever said this, and it hasn’t even been mentioned that he has a girlfriend or what not, up until today by a couple of random posters. What’s the story behind this? Is it legit? Or was this something some people here started and now other posters are running with it?

As a parent of a son that wanted to go off to college and not attend LSU which is 10 minutes from our house, I empathize with the kid.

It’s his decision imo. Maybe by the rules she can block it, but the kid has earned his scholarship.

Talk pros and cons. Give some input. But, Let him stand on his own.

To be fair, if he’s as good as advertised, he’d get noticed anywhere.

And to be honest, if he’s truly set on USC, then why force him somewhere else? Kind of makes me wonder what kind of guy we’d be getting. Is he going to get homesick once he’s here?

This is a weird situation. Maybe everything will come out eventually.

That’s not quite the same scenario here, but I get your point

I’d certainly want to guide my child to a well thought out decision and if there are two really good options it’s my child’s decision.

Taking off the purple and gold glasses, he can get drafted just as high regardless of where he goes and South Carolina is a good school. It’s not quite the same as Yale vs a junior college lol

I hope he chooses LSU as much as anyone, I just believe at some point you let the kid go where he wants to go in this type of situation

I agree but is there more? For example, does Mom want him away from a group of friends, girl, family?

Honestly if his whole thing is playing with “his friends” mom has a point. I went to college with my friends down the road at LSU, and stayed tight with none of them. College is a completely different experience and that’s without me even factoring in the football and nfl aspirations

It’s not right for his mom to force him to LSU. What kind of player will he be under those conditions? Not to mention a young man who is getting a full ride scholarship should get to decide where he wants to go.

I saw something about a paternity suit his mom wants him away from.. It's got to the point that it's hard to figure out what's a fact or what's an opinion

Who knows? I don’t.

In response to all those disagreeing with me, I’d just say that’s a variable to consider yes but none of us know that. If he just wants to go there bc his buddies are then I can moreso understand her view but what if he just likes it better there??

There are a million variables where as a parent I’d say no I can’t support that. Assuming all else is equal, I’d help my child weigh pros and cons, think through it from every angle, gather as much info as possible and support my child’s decision.

That’s just me. I respect that others may feel differently. I just don’t think it’s right to force a young adult into a decision in a situation like this. It’s not like South Carolina is a horrible option

If he likes the school for the right reasons then ok
