That moron you guys are replying to is trying to infer that Orgeron and staff didn't realize that Cole Tracy would have to count as an initial counter. There are a few imbeciles around here who keep trying to perpetuate this nonsense, but he seems like the most ardent.

Its absurd to think with only 25 scholarships that a school can afford to use one for the sole purpose of influencing another school to waste one of its own. Sure a school may rarely do it for its own benefit which might apply to Sopsher. 

Again, Saban could care less what other programs do. His sole focus is on recriting the players he wants. The same applies to other programs and coaches as well.

Holy shite

Man, I thought this thread was gonna be about this guy and his brother Rodney

so then this guy was just making shite up? thats fine if he was but hes pretty on point when it comes to LSU recruiting.

He's uninformed, if he doesn't understand that a grad transfer still counts as an initial counter. That's not a new rule that was just put in place last year.

And just because you are in the know about recruiting doesn't mean you automatically know the rules. Look at how many regional and national recruiting "experts" perpetuated the myth that the NCAA had imposed a 25 player hard cap that would prevent counting EE's in the previous class.

The staff was definitely trying to sign 26 guys, but the issue wasn't that they didn't think Tracy would count. The issue was that they were trying to say Seth Stewart should NOT have counted in the 2017 class, thus giving them room to sign 26 guys in 2018. I believe that under the previous rules Stewart would NOT have counted, but under the new rules he did.

ok.

sooooo to recap, LSU coaches and officials with the football program misconstrued the new rules, like I was inferring, but for reasons other than what I stated.

great talk

Damn you're a dolt. They didn't misconstrue the rules. They were appealing an interpretation that went against them. They knew Stewart counted when they signed Tracy but had been trying to argue that he should NOT have counted. Stewart counting or not had zero effect on whether they were going to sign Tracy as you were inferring.
