James Smith | Nola.com:
John Curtis linebacker Duke Riley is expected to make his decision this week. Looks like it is a LSU-Tulane battle.

Uh that's between a full Tulane scholly and our grey shirt? Not as laughable if there is a serious interest in education.

The difference is only one of them is extending a full scholarship and almost automatic playing time. The other one is currently offering a grey-shirt and has a very deep roster of LB's. Not really that easy of a choice.

Because it saves the scholly for 2014.

Unless we have quite a few surprises Rileys will have a full scholarship available.

Can't wait to see the people that bash this kid if he picks Tulane for the education.

I definitely read that Riley narrowed it down to TCU-LSU on Sunday.

Either way we would be using him as a scholarship player in 2014, why not just award it to him now in 2013? Especially if we are not able land Jackson/Willis/Bower/Carter, etc? Adding to that, Cutrer, M Jones, Lawson, Leslie are all in academic question, wouldn't hurt to give him a chance

A very similar situation happened with Tahj Jones (greyshirt), Bennie Logan (late offer) and Lamin Barrow (late offer). Look how they all turned out: starter, NFL DT, All-SEC LB

why would riley pick tulane over LSU for the education when almost no other recruit has done that in the last 5 years minimum. these guys see themselvess as football players first, partgoers second and students fourth or fifth.
