re: Geaux Tigers

Well summarized, and I agree.

quote: Do we know that LSU and Michigan have gone totally silent and not said anything? It was my understanding that LSU communicated that they liked what they saw from Quad. They just didn't offer, for whatever the reasons may be. How often do they have to stay in connect to not be considered silent? Once a day? Once a week? Once a month? According to CoachJ in this thread, he said our coaches told him that Quad did everything they needed him to do and would give him a call. As of the last writing from CoachJ, Quad never heard from anyone at LSU after their visit. Sounds like they went silent, so I would assume they're not interested. quote: what's the difference in saying, "We like you," but not offer yet and "We like you, here is your offer but we will not accept your commitment at this time." There isn't much difference if LSU is still interested and may get in touch with Quad again at some point in the future. But the way Saban does it keeps the recruit engaged in the process and still allows him to have some pride in Bama and the fact they like him...just not quite enough yet to be able to commit. With LSU , who knows if Quad is still liked enough to ever get a phone call again. In my line of work, a call with no news is always better than no call at all.

I don't agree with this. This is nothing against you. I just have a different take.

This type of recruiting leads you into a Ettiene-sp, Mario Goodrich, Thompson-QB for MSU situations. If you got a school constantly calling you and communicating with you even if its just through some texts to keep some kind of contact really shows a recruit more than going radio silent and then picking up the phone near the end of the process going "I thought you said you wanted to be a Tiger" when the player LSU wanted more spurns us for another school. I don't blame those players that went elsewhere.

These situations have reared their head time and again but we won't adjust our philosophy.

Not to mention when a coach on the LSU staff specifically tells Quad he's going to contact him the next week, and he hasnt heard from him since. That's just disrespectful because it's not hard to send a text. At least Saban told Quad the conditions.

And I saw the post earlier in the thread from a recruiting guru who said there has been "limited" contact with Quad. Unless CoachJ forgot to mention it to me last week, there has been NO contact whatsoever from LSU.

I have really enjoyed this thread because it is showing everyone a sneak peek of what goes on in recruiting. Sometimes it shows us a little bit of the ugly side. But it has been a fun read.

If that's the case every single hs player in the US has a non committable offer from LSU, and every other college in America

Yeah. That makes a ton of sense.

quote:

No it doesnt...that's the point. A player has an offer or he doesnt, period.

Again, this is Saban preying on a kids excitement, trying to lock down his teammate, with absolutely no intention of ever fully offering him

---

So, he has just as much of an offer from Bama as he does from LSU. That was my point.

I asked for it to be anchored.

Agree on LSU. It’s Vandy, Tennessee, Bama at this point. Jayson is all Bama. The situations are not connected. I expect that Quad will end up at Vanderbilt.

Also I have reason to believe that Tualia ends up at LSU

And then I read this and now you need to start a new thread

Quad deserves every great opportunity that comes his way. You never know what can happen. Recruiting is a long process. People that are bashing this kid for no reason are a bunch of insecure individuals.

Please oh please be true.

How about just move it to the SEC Recruiting board?

I havent posted much in this thread, but have really enjoyed the process. Hoping he does well where ever he goes.
