re: How did Pratt leave the city of Baton Rouge with any doubt

Pratt's myspace page still has LSU all over it but his Mood indicates "betrayed "

Maybe germans but I noticed that rivals is no longer listing Pratt as an LSU commitment.

So to me, its the University's part to try and "hurry up" the process and also keep the kid in the know of what is happening. So to me Pratt has a good excuse to blame LSU and also partially his high school. This is a very disappointing situation.

If the stories are true about him getting his wallet and other stuff stolen on the first day he was here, then I can't blame him for being upset, feeling betrayed, and wanting to reconsider his decision of LSU. If my stuff was stolen the first day of school, I'd think "what the hell kind of place is this" and "did I make a mistake by choosing a school that has these kind of people here that would steal your stuff".

I truly hope he reconsiders his decision to decommit from LSU and realises it was an isolated offense and could have happened anywhere. But if he doesn't, then I hope the young man can find what he's looking for elsewhere...

about his status at LSU?

perhaps he had the bait and switch and was told to play LB?

something happened that is well beyond not being cleared to play for LSU. something very, very bad

Why are geeks compelled to give their opinions about subjects they know virtually nothing about?

calm down jake

Obviously but something "really really bad"? Eh

we'll probably never know what truly happened

Am I the only one here that suspects some underhanded shuffling going on wit the Fedora brothers? I find that when things don't add up (and they don't here), you should look around to see what other factors may be in play. Maybe there's a lot of blustering about what did or didn't happen at LSU to keep the attention off of the fact that OSU is gonna swipe this kid.

BTW, visited his MySpace page. Real boy scout. We've had enough prima donnas here over the last few years and if his handling of this situation is indicative of what we can expect, let him go. After RP, this team doesn't need another cancer in the locker room.

Take it FWIW, another rumor at best, this is just what the most "inside" guy I know of said about the situation (he used to be a field scout for Scout)...he said he talked to someone close to the situation and he said Pratt was hearing rumors of Miles putting him on defense so when he got to LSU he asked Miles and Miles supposedly told him he wants him on the defensive side of the ball but his first shot will come at RB. Apparently this upset Pratt enough to leave LSU.

Once again, just take it FWIW as being just another rumor since no one really knows what's going on, but that's the best I could seem to come up with from a legit guy.
