Why are we going after guys we can't get. Gage/Ramirez are right here practically begging for an offer

just maybe

once again, you know absolutely nothing

Maybe because Adams is a lot better than those two, and again HOW do you know we aren't getting him?

Let's just settle for lesser players because we know they will commit and don't have to work to get them

Serious question...is this the first year you've followed recruiting? I don't remember you from years past.

You may call them lesser players but they have been waiting for an offer. Think it's awful how they are stringing them along. i am entitled to my opinion

closest thing I got. I'm not trying too hard for this, but he wanted the offer and is very close with TB and Paris. Maybe it was a 247 article stating that he wanted it, or maybe my memory is incorrect. However, Paris pushed LSU, we offered, then backed off.

It's hard to search anything but that because others are pay site stuff and hard to search on google. Plus, I'm lazy.

Jamal did want an LSU offer, we asked him to come camp, he didn't wanna camp. Then we offered him.


IIRC

Ya'll can star gaze if you want.. reality is we wont get him and we will end up getting in state guys who have waited patiently and paid their dues by working hard at camp. i would rather that than fantaize about kids we wont get and kids who are playing games with us

I'm not fantasizing nor is anyone else. however, we should discuss his interest as this is a recruiting board.

And by discuss, I mean, not writing him off or star gazing.

Anyone with half a brain can see Adams is better than the other 2.

maybe not, but you don't just give up on him...that's not a recipe for success in recruiting.

Should we have just not gone after PP7 since he was committed to Miami and offered in-state DB PJ Smith, just because he was waiting on an offer from LSU?

I hope this is making sense to you.

Is the board on its cycle? Lots of bitching in here.
