So I'm watching the NFL playoffs with my sister, we're mentioning LSU players, etc., and she says she talked to her good friend who's a mom of a big recruit- turns out they worked together many years, still friends and stay in touch- of course I ask who; "it's the kid from Walker"... she said Mom said he's trying to make up his mind between Bama, A&M, and LSU, and asked my sister "where do you think Brian should go?"... and they both laughed, because both already knew my sis would say "Tigers" (sis has known Brian since he was a little kid)... Mom says "I am trying to let him make up his own mind and not tell him what to do, but I just can't stand Saban or the idea of my boy playing for him"...
She talked a bit about what a hassle the recruiting pressure has been, and mentioned being aggravated that an LSU coach called her late, last week after she was already in bed. So one of y'all needs to relay the message to the staff not to piss Mama off calling late at night!

OK, that's it; all I got- putting my CB in for the Tigers!

Oh, and there was a story about a high-school coach that offered to pick him up and bring him home every day so he could go play sports at a different high-school... when he was in the eighth grade!

I want to believe this.. and do in a way. But the Saban part makes me very skeptical. Anyway, let's ride.

They always find ways around the rules, whether legally or illegally.

The way they do it is kind of like how the saints manage cap space, they just keep pushing it back every year. Every year they have a few guys sign and then pay their own way (probably not out of their own pocket) and leave spots open for whoever they want. Then the spots bleed into next class and so on and so fourth. So far every class he’s signed has won a natty so most of these kids don’t mind paying for a year.

Watch when Saban retires and they can only sign 10
He did it at LSU too
Les Miles first class was only 11 and that was before the rules they put in place to limit it to 25

My cousin told me the reason we lost Leigh was because our coaches recruiting him made him feel like he was talking to his parents and Clemson came in talking to him like they were best friends. He said our coaches didn't relate as well as Clemson's did and the relationship just wasn't the same. Tyler Clements stole him in one weekend of just hanging out around Clemson. I'm sure all parents like to heard the coaches tell them their son will be ok, but the kids want to go where they know they will enjoy the next so many years and try to pave their way to the NFL in the process. We gotta do better.

No YOU gotta do better. Leigh had been previously committed to Clemson. Get your shite straight.

YOU get your shite straight. Leigh was never committed to Clemson. You’re thinking of Foreman.

I’m not calling your cousin out or anything but I really believe Tristan to Clemson had more to do with proximity to his hometown than anything.

I’m sorry but that kid ended up being a diva about things toward the end. He was undoubtedly soaking up all the media attention and trolling every Fanbase involved in his recruitment. The dude never led on that Clemson was that high on his list, so I believe he just chose it more so because of proximity.

Only other thing is maybe he thought early playing time was in the cards because he watched how bad their O-line was against Ohio State in the Sugarbowl

Do we know if he's actually been to A&M's campus?
