re: Jalen Lee decommitment official

All I'm gona say is this juco kid better be good. We didn't hit on Moore or Traore. I'd rather Lee than the juco kid.

I think the only way Koy gets dropped is if Demas wants in. But I don’t think that’s happening atm

That is incredible! I gave you an up vote just for that!
"At The Moment" and aTm!! just wow

I don't like that we're telling kids to look elsewhere. We could have had Etienne but told him we had no room. And then we ended up not getting the guys we wanted

I think it's going to backfire on us

Yet D-Lew hasn’t missed a play in two years and saved their arse when Ingram got suspended.

I would say how this staff is treating recruits this cycle is a product of the transfer portal and the new pay for play rules to come. The more college football becomes a business the more college athletes will be treated like assets. I get it college football has always been a business but once it becomes legal to pay recruits those offended by processing in state recruits won't care as long as their pockets are full when their time comes. It sucks but you had to see it coming.

Not how it works. Kid had to pass up on other opportunities when he committed to LSU. Those opportunities aren’t available anymore because they have been filled by someone else. My problem with all of this is it starts to affect these kids academic opportunities as well.

Right, I get it. As I said, I have no problem with him looking elsewhere. I just want to know why he felt it necessary to be dishonest the other day when he was asked about it.

What part of “it’s not his choice to decommit” are you not understand? He 110% wants to be committed to LSU but has been told he will likely not be receiving a letter of intent from us.

No wonder our society has zero accountability anymore. My grandmother got married at 17, never divorced, and had 7 kids. But today, 17 year olds are treated like little babies, and everyone makes excuses for them.

What the frick does this have to do with anything? Seven kids and nobody stopped to tell her that the vagina is not a clown car?

BTW. Her grandmother was probably married at 13 or 14. You gonna advocate for “them good ole days” too? Sick bastard.

This is the ugly side of becoming elite... we have been left at the alter multiple times on signing day by kids who were in... and people say "respect their business decision". Ok, I get that but that pendulum swings both ways. If u want to be elite unfortunately these things will happen, its Nov... the kids still have time to find another spot. Turning them away a week or the day before signing day is different (like another coach has done...) and I wouldn't approve of that shite but the coaches really don't give a crap what I think. W's cure a lot of hurt feelings, plus kids going to the league from your program is really what kids care about not someone asked to look around a couple months before signing day.

It's kinda funny if you think about it from this perspective though: Jalen Lee undoubtedly got processed by coach O and LSU, now watch, it may come down to a case of the program that wants/lands Jalen Lee now will have to process one of their recruits to allow room for Jalen. You see, it works that way with every program. If you have a need on your team and want the best player to fill that void, then you will make room for him no matter what...processing ceetain players is a necessity if you want to get the best of the best in order for your team to be the best it can possibly be. At least from a player evaluation standpoint bc nobody knows who will end up being better at the next level, but there are some players that you just can't pass up on and it seems like that's the case here. It's just part of the recruiting process and nothing personal against Jalen Lee. I hope he has a great college career wherever he goes, except if he plays against our Fightin' Tigahs.
