We shall see that's why recruiting doesn't end until pen meets paper

Willis has no interest in coming to LSU from what I have been told.

So it was a lie that he was set to go with LSU until he talked to his brother right before the game?

Can't a rich LSU grad in Gainesville offer his mom a job and force him back to La.

got caught up in the moment, the pressure, and really liked the facilities at UF


Chrxis, what kind of pressure are you talking about? Seems like UF couldn't exert any pressure to make him pick them. Maybe I'm just not following what you mean?

Ok. So is all that code for "yes, he lied"?

family pressure to pick LSU… don't get me wrong, i love me some April, but we've all been 17 before… i know when i was 17, if my parents recommended or told me what to do, i was doing the exact opposite (up to a point), if for no other reason than to spite them and "flex my muscle", so to speak…

April pushed too much for Gerald to go to LSU for Gerald's liking… not saying that's the only reason, but it definitely had an effect on his decision...

Yeah but mom really knew what was best for him this time... UF is just not a stable program right now. Same reason Valentine is coming to us maybe bc Miami is unstable with Golden maybe going to Penn.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I hope he comes back. I think he will have a very successful career here and he will be in the NFL in three years.

I'm glad you're giving info, but 1/2 showed that we can trust no one.

I was told on several different occasions by Karr folks that neither would come to LSU.All I can say is Ellis had some effect on it.
