re: Davon Godchaux taking visits?

Brian mitchell?

Davon IS NOT going anywhere. He IS ALL LSU. Damn chicken littles need to just chill the frick out. When was the last major recruit from damn Plaquemine High? Let him enjoy the process.

I'd like to think you know what you are talking about...but I doubt that you do.

I don't think you'd see anyone concerned if the story was that he was simply taking his visits. Instead, he said pretty specifically that he wanted to make sure he picks the right school.

In other words, he's currently not committed to LSU. I hope he changes his mind and decides to recommit.

Why take visits this late in the process then? If you are 100% LSU?

The question is why NOT take visits

It's not about the visits...it's about the following quote:

open back up his recruiting process & make sure he picks the right school

The question is why NOT take visits? Will the opportunity EVER come again?

Exactly ... take your visits, enjoy the experience, then come back and reaffirm as a Tiger.

thanks for the info. I'll take that at face value and now feel less anxious about this (never was really worried).

and to derail the thread...
know anything on Young or Dupre?

20goon-Davon, Chi and Kenny talk often. From what I gather from Davon, LSU is in a good spot for those guys. But I will definitely be interested of how their visit go when they go to Cali. I can only go by what Davon tells me on those guys so I'm third party. I will get a better feel when after their visits.

I wouldn't be surprised f LSU has asked Godchaux to go just to stay in their ear.

While I value your opinion, in this case we will have to agree to disagree. I will try to explain as best I can on my phone.

I'm not part of the media, nor do I get paid to watch - nor do I have to pay to watch - NFL games on network television, but that doesn't mean the product isn't being produced for my consumption.

Fair enough, but unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe TD pays LSU or their athletes/recruits, while TV networks on the other hand have high dollar contracts with the NFL. Nor do the advertisers on here have the ability to influence the recruiting process or behavior of these recruits as far as I know. So I still maintain the monetary supply and demand analogy you posit is not applicable to message board users. Pay recruiting sites and their clientele may be another story but I didn't address my comments there.

the VAST majority of content on this board is NOT 'accurate information', yet people still flock to it.

I still don't see why any of that implies that people DEMAND anything (e.g. drama) other than information. Why does the supposition that the thing demanded can not exist imply that something else is demanded? And if so why must that something else turn out to be the very thing that the demander says they do not want?

quote:

---

I don't believe you can't see that if no one paid attention to recruiting, none of this 'drama' would exist.

---

I do see that, but it does not support your point. Are the builders of roads and bridges complicity in the fatalities that occur on them daily? I mean, with out paved roads that enable the high speeds we drive around at today, there would be far fewer fatal accidents. All of us who drive demand these modern roads be built, even though we all know of the fatalities that occur. Does that mean we all demand the fatalities? Of course not.

No, it's more like saying if no one went to baseball games, they wouldn't have baseball games.

---

I don't understand that - your analogy seems to imply that I follow recruiting for it's own sake, but I don't, I follow LSU football. I would not even know the first thing about these kids if they were not associated in some way with LSU football. My demand for information about LSU football is not a demand for recruiting drama.

quote:

---

It's apparent that you simply don't want to acknowledge your complicity in the whole issue of recruiting drama.

Yes. In general, I reject your notion that every undesirable activity that occurs in this context can be traced back to the vulgar appetites of grubby consumer. Many things are the direct result of consumer desires as represented through their actions in the marketplace. Distasteful TV programming, pornography, prostitution and a vast array of other "services" which some may consider unsavory or even illicit are the direct result of market actors, but to say that the womanizing of the movie star, the drug use of the rock star, the steroid use of the baseball player or the drama of the football recruit are demanded by the movie goer, music lover, baseball fan, or college football fan is more than just a bit of a stretch.

Alway enjoy your takes Tchoup! And
