No, no he won’t. Typically the top guys don’t leave where they’re at because 1. The school makes sure they’re paid and 2. They are already the top dog and getting the most significant playing time.
Look at Jeremiah smith. Or Malachi Toney. Or Ryan Coleman Williams

Over the years I have heard many fans from different schools say a certain recruit could start right away at their school.Of that maybe 10% of that happens especially at a GEO,ALA,LSU etc.A WRneeds to learn the routes ,read the defenses ,be on the same page as the QB,and block while learning the scheme.Hes only 17 teen and athletic ,what about the rest.

Yeah people on here aren’t really understanding the kind of prospect Royal is. He’s a legit game breaker immediately as a freshman.


The good news is that our coaches understand better than anyone on here what kind of prospect Royal is an if it’s worth it to pay him whatever he’s asking. For the first time in a long time we can just sit back and be excited about whoever shows up.

He is Sargeant Schultz: he knows nothing!
Our final offer will be given a long time from now.

Lmao. Maybe he will. Maybe let him at least participate in one LSU practice against other high level college players.

I’m sick of the royal experience.. all bout the money like the rest of recruits. No loyalty anymore.

What loyalty does he have? What loyalty do any of them have?

The team can, has & will tell kids to take a hike if they don’t pan out. It’s all about the money to everyone now.

Get over it

You don’t think IMG would’ve paid much more than Brother Martin?

I could see this being the case. Kiffin and Glasscock have said they like to spend that money on proven players plus they have their own valuations of these players and wont exceed that.

What if he's staying loyal to Texas and flirting with Florida, which bleeds them a bit, before flipping to LSU for a very lucrative, but friendly deal for his home state school? I think he has real interest in Texas, obviously, and Florida but the end result may be really good for LSU. I don't think he's playing games. He's actually torn and doing his due diligence.
