Right, it COULD be above board (the car) but it does look really shady. I would love to see him "take his talents" to LSU but people who know him very well tell us he is going to Alabama...that's all I can say without losing my source.

His dragging out his commitment could mean any number of things. Maybe he wants the visits and what comes with those. I don't know.
My feeling all along has been that he is leaving Louisiana.
I feel like he knows he is going to Bama and didn't want that to have that to shadow his senior season with the locals.

Besides the trips, what would a kid's motivation be playing in front of a bunch of LSU fans unless he was getting ready to bust them up?

If this is the case I hope we play them in the playoffs and wear their arse out.

I've always felt like he was leaving Louisiana. Putting off his commitment until signing day only solidified that for me. Just putting off pissing everyone off in his school and town until he has to.

Saban came to Springhill to see him. I haven't heard that Les has. Maybe it's the other way around and LSU will take him but isn't chasing him.

Up until recently, I thought we were in good shape with White. I know recruiting is a fluid situation though. If you look at our depth chart at RB, there's no way he sees significant playing time until his sophomore or junior year. Fournette will be the man again in 2016, and Williams or Guice will be the man in 2017.

If he is the real deal he will get playing time. If your afraid of competing against talent than LSU isn't the school to go to.

Has he gotten by on talent or hard work? I'm sure the gumps have said he can replace Henry after this season. If he's coming to play RB at LSU, he will definitely have to earn his snaps.

He is talented no doubt and from what I've heard of and read he is a work horse in the weight room. Have heard of him taking off plays (but come on he stays on the field for every snap what would you expect). I understand where you are coming from with saying Bama is in his ear to replace Henry but at the same time Alabama recruits some impressive running backs and to say that he won't have competition at Alabama for playing time would be naïve, they recruited a very highly rated running back last year if I'm not mistaken.

Point is he has to be willing to compete and its still a long time to NSD so to speculate this early I think will not be accurate. With all that said I believe in the end he will choose to be a tiger because of his relationship with Frank Wilson that he has had since the beginning of his recruitment and his relationship with the current players on the team (Mainly Buga, they are really good friends).

That's a Bama giveaway right there. That's basically their recruiting gift bag.

They got 2 highly recruited rbs last year. Bo Scarbrough is a big back LINK and Damien Harris who is 3rd in rushes this year behind Henry and Drake. LINK

I hope it works out in LSU's favor.

The only thing I know is Bama will have good players and competition at running back one way or another. Anybody selling lack of competition there is lying.
