you make a lot of good points. I try not to assume the worst, but sometimes it happens

I just can't see it here.

New Orleans isn't really our backyard like Dutchtown is. Not with Reid's level of success. Not with LSU's level of success. Alabama doesn't have anything to sell this kid this time.

If Curtis was his coach, and the kid had a history of anti-LSU behavior, maybe. Even with the Janzen Jackson recruitment, I knew Lance had no respect for the staff, and that played a significant role with that decision. Boy, what a huge mistake that was!

There's just too many ways an OOS commitment could have been handled better. It would be reckless beyond belief for him to put on an Alabama hat come Thursday.

You're right. Sometimes the worst happens, but in this case, it won't be for LSU. It will be for Alabama, or for Collins. That's his decision.

You realize GF was girl friend not Gump friend?

I can't see how anyone could side with your comment from what we think we know.

Why on earth would momma not attend if there wasn't a major issue like the GF- GIRL FRIEND.

This is what is uneasy if all true. 1.) Everything starts with girlfriends mom having a red arse about LSU Basketball per post. 2.) Girlfriend seems to be controlling the situation and over excited about herself being Bama bound in post I've read. 3.) LC Mom is not going to be there when he announces per post on this site. I really don't know the validity of the post but it doesn't look good. I as a parent would be pissed if a girl was taking command of my sons decisions, this in the long run won't go very well. The families bed is being made and she will have to sleep in it for as long as she is in his life.

Update is up on BBI. I wouldn't sweat this one.

Someone else can post it. I don't want angry emails again

Unless being Janzen Jackson and Joe McKnight appeals to him.

Every time anyone gets worked up over what a Super Stud recruit does I think about the guys you listed above. Everyone was bitter, rejected and acted as if it was the end of the world when those two guys went elsewhere. Sure, those guys were studs but so what? Would either have gotten LSU to an SEC title? What about "can't miss" guys who do come and then have an injury derail them ala Amp Hill?

Let the kid go where he wants. It's his life and LSU will survive and thrive regardless. If LC is as great as everyone claims, he doesn't have to worry about pissing off the people of Louisiana. If he's that good, he'll make a lucrative living in the NFL.

Everyone chill the F out.

The bulk of everything has lead me to believe LSU. Which makes the whole thing funny

Got yours but I've heard
What you have.

Sorry, I don't buy ANY of this crap about his girlfriend, his momma, his dog or his cat, or any of these reported influencers. I think he is having the time of his life yanking EVERYONE's chain (and I am confident it is a family conspiracy including the girlfriend) but in the end he will chose the school that best advances his career. All of his family and close friends will embrace his decision. I think it will be LSU. (of all of his Twitter banter the only "tweet" I thought was significant was a one word tweet - "yes").

fwiw, I think hrs fricking with everyone as well. His GF is in on it
