re: LSU Lands Commitement from 2020 Alabama ATH Kris Abrams-Draine

Kid is 6A All-State as a 10th grader. Is an absolute burner on tape. Would love to see this kid in purple and gold.

Interesting that someone not on the staff would know the FACTS. Especially someone who strains to have any positive to say at all.

The FACT is this kid WAS a 5-star CB and only moved to S to help his team. As a S, and with zero likelihood he was going to Bama, he became a 4-star recruit.

That he be tried at CB first should hardly be shocking to anyone without a preconceived agenda.

Lol, my man I was told I brought up O. Of course I did, I knew if there was a thread that had anything positive for LSU where it would go. I laid out the bait so they would come out the woodwork.

What makes you think any kid wants to be a freaking back up plan. FACT, SURTAIN Sr. Told coaches that Jr was all LSU two days before signing day. Bash the hell out of me but that's a fact. So why have a back up plan when you hear right from the mouth of the most important person in kids life that he is all in.

If you aren't the kind of person who would do something like that, it's hard to imagine that other people would. That's why you are getting so much resistance here, imho. To play a personal friend like Corey Raymond like that after all those years, and to leave O hanging knowing what's personally at stake for him, after having that personal relationship, is a pretty good indication of what kind of values that family has. I've given people bad news, I've let people down, but I've never intentionally slow-played somebody to inflict damage. Nor would I ever.

Kid is an relative unknown right now I guess that had a really good season this past year. He is a 2020 kid, so he'll def be known by that time when it comes around by Alabama I suspect if he keeps producing like he has. lol

What part of my post are you referencing in your post? Nowhere in my post did I say anything about a kid wanting to be a backup plan nor did I post anything regarding the Surtains misleading the staff. My post only referenced the post made by Tiger Ree saying the backup plan was to move Joseph back to CB when it's not the original backup plan. That sir was Goodrich. That is a fact. It came directly from Coach O who said he spent all night on the phone with Goodrich trying to change his mind after we turned him down days prior. I don't know how anyone can say anything else is a fact when the coach said that himself. Joseph to CB was not the backup plan. It was the worst case scenario coming to fruition. The staff wanted one CB and one S and ended with one player filling both spots. If that's not a frickup and worst case scenario(would actually be landing none but in this scenario Joseph was already in the bag) then the definition has changed and I missed it.

I don't bash posters or their opinions. I enjoy everyone's opinions and thoughts and their right to post them. But when a poster comes here professing to have facts that are indeed not facts then it is my right to call them on that just as you are attempting to call me out for sharing mine. When you or anyone else can come with quotes challenging what the head coach spoke from his own mouth on this issue I will be sure to give all the credit deserved. Problem is that cannot be done. Goodrich was the backup plan at CB and we fricked it up. Its neither here nor there at this point as what is done is done but I'll be waiting on those FACTS contradicting the head coach's own words on this issue. With quotes. I'm not looking for any half assed opinions or so called inside info. Quotes to contradict what is on record.

How am I scared of Alabama because I said Saban and Bama will be after the kid in 2020 if he keeps doing what he's doing. That's just a fair statement.

This kid's highlights are great, and he really seems like he wants to be at LSU

Problem is there are too many sunshine pumpers in the recruiting forum.

No, you twat. The recruiting board forbids bashing the program, coaches, players, or recruits. The reason: recruits, their friends, and family read this board and it should not be a source of negative influence on LSU’s recruiting efforts or the recruits.

Recruiting is all about momentum. If a staff catches the right player at the right time, says the right things, then they have just as much a chance as anyone in signing an undecided recruit. But when a bunch of dickhead opinions overwhelm the narrative, as is currently the case with Ranters thinking they can plant their chicken-little flags in the recruiting board, it can only hurt the school’s chances with the player. I’m not saying that it is the sole deciding factor for recruits, but it hurts LSU’s momentum, which can reduce the liklihood that they’ll sign with LSU.

Feel free to smear your self-hating stink all over tRant, just leave it off of the recruiting board. (that’s addressed to anyone who bemoans “sunshine-pumping” on this board)
