It would be his mom forcing him to go against his heart if he switches to LSU though so it works both ways. I still think he ends up at LSU in the end despite his heart being at Alabama now. It`s an equally good football choice and the easy choice being close to home and not wanting to piss your family off. Alabama also already has last year`s #1 safety prospect Hasean Clinton-Dix on the team so unless Bama regularly plays 2 safeties then LC probably won`t play right away.

LSU scares the Kid. Let him go to Alabama. He'll regret it when he realizes he can't have momma's home cooked meals or realizes what momma's reasons were for picking LSU, Momma won't be making all your games cause momma has a life to continue and you just made it tougher for her. He'll soon realize what could have been a 45 minute drive to visit home just became 6 hours drive, that the ride from Alabama is much longer than he thought.. 3 or four years from now Nick Saban won't be his Coach.

Notice how he said he's from New Orleans? Didn't even give reognition to his own school. Totally Classless

We play 3 safety's all the time swapping them in and out. HCD will play along side Sunseri and LC just like Mark Baron, Lester and Will Lowery did most of this year.

I'm not mad at LC. I just want to know, why?
BAMA has nothing that he can't get at LSU.

He's not going to Stanford or Ivy league school for the degree.

If his family are LSU fans, it will be hard to root against ur son. Plus traveling to home games. VS right in they're back yard. Lots of reasons family not happy. But he seemed happy with his decision. Mom did seem a little surprised like this was not what she expected instead of just not being happy with his decision. Good luck to him. We will b fine.

LSU fans just need to stay classy. Plenty of talent on LSU right now. One guy doesn't make or break our team.

He said he made this decision two years ago, and from everything I read he wasn't even really raised by his mom who obviously didn't support the decision. His Grandmother seemed thrilled and obviously he already has a set of other parents with his GFs family

He lives with the dad, who didn't even appear to be on stage even though he has been there all week.

He can say the decision was made two years ago, but the family didn't take it like they've known about it for two years. They thought it was LSU.

Raising his Hands with his Alabama Gloves over and over didn't help Alabama none. LSU players are watching this and probably pissed them off more.

I for one wanted LC here.Now after insulting his mom no way.Sorry Miles has changed the way people look at LSU.We are now looked at as a university with good kids,respectful young adults. Men and women of their word.Let him go, I for one do not want him now.We at LSU are the very best at what we do and Monday night we will show the country and the Gumps how we roll.See you Mr.LC, learn to respect your mom I do not care if she raised you or not, she did birth you.Let his butt be a Gump and take his lumps for four years,Do you realize he disrespected every Tiger fan tonight,JUST SAYING!!!!! Good luck

I'm not sure why they would care. Some of LSU's players are from out-of-state afterall. Sometimes you have to do what you feel is best for you. Regardless, this recruitment isn't over. I did, however, see that ESPN had an article stating he didn't live with the mom, and he was raised by his father and step-mother (who played basketball at Alabama).

To late. The reactions of some of the fans on this site is sad. Grow up. The future of LSU is not going to be swayed to greatly one way or the other over one recruit, especially a defensive back.

I would not take him. Character issues. Move on and take someone who WANTS to play for LSU.

LC shown immaturity! Wasn't even listening to the host. All he wanted to do is hurry up and put those gloves on and waving it around before they pull away.
