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

August

Evaluations and Contacts are two different things by the way. And offical/unoffical visits aren't "contacts"... contacts refers to visits by staff with them (by multiple means)

I think you're allowed 6 contacts now? Those would be tacked onto the Evaluations.

And I think the head coach is still limited to 1 contact.

Thank you... us regular people up here can only do so much

and thats whats sad, when you have to watch this happen, and know you can do nothing about it

But have we seen that with anyone else is what we should be asking ourselves? Yep. "business decision", "treated my mom badly". There's a pattern developing.

The pattern is they believe the best way to defeat LSU is to cause an implosion from within. I live in Alabama and know several former players. They believed that when Saban showed up the strategy was to cause Auburn and LSU to collapse under his weight. They really thought it worked when Tuberville was ran off and predicted Miles would be gone by 2010. I hasn't worked to this point so this year they probably saw a chance to double-down in Monroe given the CRob and Hootie. Of course they've also worked on some South La stuff.

Alabama has twice the recruiting budget of LSU. To this point it seems that LSU is willing to let Bama spend away while making sure it has good contacts in Texas and other areas to ensure it's base spans a wide number of top recruits. Landing Paris, Brown and Adams out of Texas would be huge.

All we can do is sit back and tally how many times a bama car roles thru here and how few times and lsu car roles thru

A side question: I hear Napier shows up in a rented sedan most of the time? Also hear he prefers Cadillac.

you know if any of that is true?

(that's how sad it is- the Bama recruiters have "legends" surrounding their rental cars)

Whole staff needs to reevaluate what needs to be done in NLA. LSU is getting schooled and need to reaffirm it's commitment. Starts at the top down...

But now shes cool with how much hes around?

I'm well aware of that. The contact period started today and the only thing that was allowed during the season was an evaluation, where technically they weren't even supposed to be "visiting" him. "Contact" refers to face to face visits off of the university's campus.

That obviously changes if he signed the agreements, but this is the first I have heard of it and it seems like it would have been reported somewhere.

so knowing that bama was outworking us in the area for hootie, why did our 'insiders' on here feel so confident about hootie until a few days ago?

---

Well me personally never saw him in bama anothing..he is always going to LSU games home/away..he wears LSU gear...mom loves Les over Nick ...

Ok.. This thread is making me depressed. I wish Saban would just retire. That little fricker, eats, sleeps and breathes this shite. He knows the key to success is to outwork everyone. I hope he caught the herp from Candy.
