Why worry about it. Ifthe kid doen't want to be a tiger then let him go. By the way, he looked like he was thugged out from his myspace page. It does open up a scholly though.

it does not sound like it was on our end. even the ok st people seem to agree it was a clearinghouse issue that got the pratts miffed. It all seems very strange

If it's a clearinghouse issue why is he going to OSU though now? I know it's easier to get in there, is it because they are admitting people later on than we are? I just don't get this.

Kind of sounds like they got upset LSU would not foot the bill for a room while it got ironed out.

Maybe he didn't like the LB talk, maybe the TR rumors have some merit.

the thing that gets me is...why OSU?

there HAD to be a more high profile team who was recruiting him at some point

Which would be a major recruiting violation.

ETA: Unless he hadn't taken an official... and it could be pawned off as an official.

I can see this, especially as much as his stock has dropped

If it was a clearinghouse issue, then why not wait until it clears. If he was as committed to LSU like he should have been, by being a verbal, then he would wait. He doesn't want to be at LSU, so let the kid go. He might have a better chance at playing early at OSU, but he will not play for a national championship

not really

he is a question mark as to where he'll project at the next level.. I think he's way to awkward to be a RB watching his video..

yes, he has some speed and quickness for a man of his size and build, but that is relatively speaking

Which, let's face it, he does have a better chance of playing early there. However, if the rumor of getting his personal things stolen at one of LSU's player's residence is true... that's the sort of thing that would have me second-guessing my decision if I were him.

I think that if he delays his decision until NSD though, it may be long enough for him to calm down and re-assess the situation.

Dateline Investigates should be on somebody's jock over this horrible atrocity.

Bilj claims that has been debunked, but who knows.. I haven't heard anything more on that other than it being a rumor

I don't know... seems like a weird rumor to start.

Maybe a hostess sat in his lap and he didn't like it. Could be headed to OU?

SS and OSU mods have denied that rumor.

It would definitely make sense
