It’s just crazy that people on this board keep spouting that NIL is not a factor here. Texas wasn’t even mentioned for much of his recruitment and now all of a sudden has the momentum after a one day visit? 2+2 = 4 here


The Texas sources alluded to it, but it definitely seems like baseball is having an outsized impact on his decision-making. His initial interest in A&M started with Schloss and now that he is at Texas that appears to be a major factor. There are conflicting reports about a home visit with Jay Johnson, but perhaps that didn’t go as well for LSU as many of us might have assumed. Johnson may not be as high on him as Schloss (or at least he didn’t give the appearance that he is).

Well darn. Hope that's not so but if that's the case I wish him well.

By “here” do you mean at LSU or with Williams?

I mean with Williams. All I’ve read from several posters is that his dad is a judge and this kid won’t be influenced by money. Seems a little strange Texas comes out of nowhere last week after he visited for a day. Couple that with their pedestrian football recruiting class for 2025. Seems to me they are getting desperate.

He was visiting Texas regardless if he showed up to the splash or not

All we heard the week leading up was that he was coming to LSU right after though and then it's weather, then another story of Texas getting him to not visit.

Don't know about Texas getting him to not visit, but it sure doesn't look good that after his Texas visit. He didn't make it to the Bayou Splash and now isn't even coming in for supposedly that more of a one on one visit with the baseball coaches.

Every insider has a different story. Does anyone really know what’s going on.

Welp! Although it may be unlikely the Fegans kid from Alabama looks really nice. His film reminds me of Jamal Adams a little. He’s a ballhawk and comes in like a missile when tackling.

I don’t think there’s any chance the weather is a factor here. This was all money. Either way I get the impression this one isn’t over.

You do know Williams has already visited LSU multiple times right?

He might not need to come again if he has his mind made up.

That’s what I’m leaning on.

Texas reporting:

quote:
Right now, this recruitment is Texas A&M and Texas 1A and 1B and per the source, it changes depending on the day. “The Schloss hire was a boss move” the source said of Texas hiring A&M’s baseball coach.
Like i told you Captain and others a day or two before the Pickett stuff; have faith and don't believe all the insider stuff. Stuff changes for "insiders" within hours of a commitment.

Same thing I've been thinking. Jay Johnson vist was probably the last thing he needed to see from LSU.

Once again makes zero sense that LSU is completely out of the race all of the sudden. Same thing was being said about Pickett and we saw how that turned out.

You’re right it’ll change 100 times before the 24th. We could have this thread daily

I'm getting to the point with SOME insiders that I don't believe anything they say. They want to appear to be more tapped in with recruits than they really are, and actual reporting turns into spinning the situation so as to seem like they knew what was happening all along.

Yeah, I'm looking at you Wiltfong and Spiegelman,
