IMG is a huge multinational corporation. The sports academies are a small part of what they do and I suspect they don’t care if they lose money on those. Check out their website sometime and see what they own or control.

Right, so they leach off of the kids going thru the program, now and in future representation

Kardell strives for greatness and wants to be the best. Perhaps IMG can take him to the level he wants to be at. Yes he liked Ga but has anyone seen the offensive haul Ga has? He wants to play day one. He will be a Tiger - he is recruiting guys hard right now for LSU after Future 50

So, in your opinion, letting a player go to school there for free, while tuition is $40,000, is leaching?

Lol I’ve seen everybody get booed at tiger stadium nobody ever any worse than Jordan Jefferson as a player. Other than the qbs I’ve only seen coaches booed but that comes with the position.

We do have one its called U-High !! Gordon Mckernernan and his team use the same system IMG does ! Every Sport is winning and that's not just because they have good coaches ! tell him just go there !

Lol... After the new OL coach gets here and proofs up this OL, and then gets on him, he'll be right where he belongs.

This guy isn't going anywhere. He loves LSU!
This site is just a bunch of punks.

Yes, when you only take the highest rated to better your position to represent them as pros a few years later......

You can't see this?

Something stinks here. Is IMG a Bama ploy and to get local recruits away from LA? Who opened this school?

They weren't booing the players, they were booing the dumbass coach, which is warranted since he was meddling with the OC instead of letting him do his job. I lived in Georgia for 3 years, and I can tell you, they boo coaches. Not only that, but in the media, blame is never put on a coach, but I've seen many times newspaper articles in the Valdosta paper putting blame on players. Whoever told him that Ga. fans don't boo, is lying!!!

They are under no obligation to use IMG in the future.

Free world class training and a good education, when many of them come from poor, shitty schools.

Sounds like a good deal.

While they may not interact all that much because of the setup of IMG, we do have 3 or 4 baseball commits there currently, and nothing has shown that the school steers kids to or away from a certain college.

I can't recall any moment in LSU sports where a player was booed


Then you didnt watch the Kentucky game when JJ came back from suspension and replaced the white boy. I was at that game and i almost came to blows with some guy in a wife beater and a mullet. No fricking kidding. The guy was so trailer trash it felt like i was on a hidden camera show named "Will anyone have the balls to tell this guy to shut his mouth"?
