Guys hate to bust your bubble but he's going to FSU...He knows the class he's coming in with, they are in constant contact. He said, I don't even know who LSU is recruiting, but I like the type of defense they run. I really would find it hard believe he switches from FSU, he has said it several times, he wants to play with Casher, Fowler, Goldman, Bracy, & Jaboo. They all hung out and at the UA game...ate dinner at the same table. The kids like each other and they want to play together. I try to explain this to the Alabama fans about Goldman... And with Darby coming in from Maryland area and the relationshop EG has with Timmy J and Odell...it's all but a lock.
I will admit that what LSU has to offer will attrack MEJ but end of the day, he's just not familiar with the program or the people in it.

I've been hearing and reading the same thing. With Jimbo visiting MEJ either today or 2morrow the LSU visit might not happen.

Actually no....just a little birdy....but did read this...
"With the news earlier Thursday that another Florida State commit, tight end Christo Kourtzidis, cancelled his short-lived plans to take an official visit this weekend, Seminole head coach Jimbo Fisher has had quite the day on the recruiting trail against the Longhorns. Score it a resounding 2-0, Jimbo. Down go the 'Horns!
If there's good news, it's that the Texas staff took its best shot with Edwards and simply fell short, most likely due in large part to the fact that Mario Edwards, Sr played his college football at Florida State and the early commitment of his son allowed the coaching staff in Tallahassee to spend much more time building a relationship with the big defensive lineman. Not to mention the relationships that MEj built with other prospects headed there.
Additionally, the Longhorns already have a strong class, particularly on the interior, where Texas currently has commitments from four defensive tackles, with defensive end Hassan Ridgeway being another guy who could eventually move inside or play there situationally. And while the 300-pound Edwards could still play some at defensive end in college since he has managed to maintain his quickness, he's not going to be the pure speed rusher at the next level that Texas really needs.
There's still a chance that the 'Horns could fill that need with LSU commit Torshiro Davis, conventional wisdom with his recruitment still maintains that it could be, uh, difficult for he and his family to make the decision to leave the state for college. LSU fans are crazy, after all."

I thought it was next weekend.
I think we have a slight shot. The main thing drawing him to LSU is the defense we run.
I have a hard time believing he could switch from FSU but anything is possible when it comes to recruiting.

This weekend. Long shot IMO.

At least we are entertaining the thought we have a chance. Surely we land one big fish in the class?

I read somewhere that the in school/home went very well and he and parents were coming to visit LSU. 
Does that mean we do not have a chance?

He's not going to LSU. His dad played at, and is a big supporter of FSU. Unless LSU can go Cam Newton on him, he ain't coming.
