re: LSU has an in home visit w/Hootie Jones Sunday night

I just don't get Hootie's thinking here. LSU is clearly, clearly the better place for him in almost all aspects:

Proximity: We are closer

National Championships: We go to a title game every 4 years. Yes, recent history suggest he will have a better opportunity to play for a national title at Bama, but there is a 25% chance he will play for the MNC at LSU if he stays 4 years.

Draft potential: Patrick Peterson, Mo Claiborne, Eric Reid, Tharold Simon, Brandon Taylor, Ron Brooks, Tyrann Mathieu all drafted in the last 3 years. I'm sure Bama has plenty db's drafted as well but the point is, we are right there with them.

Playing time: I have no idea about Bama's roster but he would literally walk onto to the field from day 1 at LSU with a 50% chance to start.

I say all this to point out that if he doesn't want to come here, its not for "football" or "business" reasons. It's just that he simply wants to play for Alabama. The smart "business" decision would be to come here.

what bird is Les flying in? King Air 200 (N511TA) registered to Air-Med in Lafayette went from BR to Monroe earlier, scheduled to go to Beaumont later. (Brown?)

I'm not sure what plane he's on, but Miles is visiting Hootie them Brown tonight.

this must be it then...I think he's used planes registered to Air Med before. If he's on schedule then his visit with Hootie is about done.

Air Med = Acadian Ambulance Inc.

they are tied in with LSU very well... the Sturlese award is a memorial for one of their founders...

Nice try. Nobody is refuting the importance of recruiting. We all agree that recruiting is the biggest factor in being successful on the field.



Saying that Les is a better recruiter than coach sounded like a smear to me. Maybe it's not.

he is visiting in 5 days

eta: les should be taking off right now! how soon do you think someone will claim to have reports on how it went? lol

according to the empirical data since 2000 there is a 100% chance he will play for a national title if he stays all 4 years.

i don't mean to be a weenie, but neither one of you understands odds. As you seem to understand, the 25% pertains to the odds in a given year (based on recent data). However, the odds don't add. If they did, then every two times you flipped a coin you'd get one heads and one tails.

umm, if we go to a NC every 4 years, and he stays 4 years, and the trend continues, yes there is a 100% chance he will play for a NC at some point in his college career.

yall are both right, one is talking about odds in his career, one is talking about odds in a given year
