Why can't some booster just give the brother an academic scholarship or something. Then he could have a guaranteed walk on spot on the team.

There is also a chance that he becomes another highly rated DT from LA that plays himself into a high draft pick.

Getting Ish and further closing the door on Tangipahoa makes it worth it to offer Rodney.

Its also a position of need and the top guys in the state in younger classes need to see the older big dogs committing to LSU.

We really need to keep breaking down the door on Emery too. Don't give up, don't ever give up.

Go through his post history. Its hilarious.

He's like Tiger Ree's angrier little brother.

They have hard commits from QB (PRO) Taulia Tagovailoa (Little Brother of Tua) and QB (PRO) Paul Tyson (Great Grandson of Bear Bryant). If they make room for Rodney Sopsher somebody's going to have his panties in a bunch.

Problem with Louis Earl is that we also had to take Leroy “Tiger” Womack. Lester jumped ship to Kansas and we were stuck with all his boys.

I really thought we would have offered Rodney long before now.

TOTAL BS move. That was deal made behind closed doors. Such politics, BS . He is not even ranked , even in JUCO. I bet ya in a matter of days , he will be.

Well, frick, man, why recruit at all? Many highly rated players are busts - nature of the beat, sky high expectations. Freak was a good player, but there were impossible-to-meet expectations around the kid.

I didn't say don't recruit him. Recruit the hell out of him, his potential is 1st round. But don't waste a scholarship on his brother. He either wants to play here or he doesn't. Dont bribe the kid

Ish ain't going anywhere without his brother. If you want him you gotta take Rodney.

I really don't understand why that kid wouldn't just be a walk on, no matter how good he is.

This was the right move for LSU. I wonder if Rodney feels any remorse over the fact he didn't earn this offer himself. I wouldn't want to go to a school where I didn't earn my way in and won't make a difference.

He has the opportunity to get a college degree, be part of a big time program, and make memories with his brother that they can share for a lifetime. The self-loathing should be minimal.

So did Rodney camp with LSU or workout for the staff? I would imagine he did. If so, do they see any potential?
