We will beat Tennessee in Baton Rouge. He will be there. It will make an impression on him.

He was never favored to come here, his dad has stated to some in our circle on may different occasions that the kid wants to leave the state.
Most of us already thought this was the reality.
Then some jackass "friend of the family" came and posted that Matthews "would have loved to be at LSU but the coaching staff was asleep at the wheel and offered him too late."
Which most of us knew was bullshite and came across as an excuse they could hide behind instead of just coming out and saying exactly what you said.
This guy also claimed LSU didn't really want Matthews and just gave him a "token offer" which was more bullshite spin.
Any animosity from this board about Matthews' recruitment is mostly due to that thread and a few others where someone who claims to be close to the family played them as victims of the mean old LSU staff.
By all accounts I've heard, Jordan Matthews is a very impressive young man and I wish him nothing but the best. It seems to me, though, that some people around him are creating a backlash by trying to protect him (by creating this narrative above) from a backlash that wasn't even coming (because most of us knew he probably wasn't coming to LSU and were fine with that). Either that, or they're personally offended LSU didn't work harder to keep him home and they're projecting their own disappointment onto Matthews and his family.

Janzen Jackson told him it was a better school than LSU.

Pretty sure he meant he'd have loved to have him come to LSU. That's the way I read it, anyway.

Kelly building a nice secondary. Kelly can't sign them all. He doing a good job what he has now.

Well need to stop all this kid nonsense. Once these "kids" started taking money for nil this game ceased to be an amateur situation and much like nfl a business. So no more baying them. If they get paid they can take criticism

Nope I meant here at LSU lol

Totally agree about his game film. I’m not one to crap on a player’s abilities just because they don’t chose LSU. I hated losing Ausberry this year and think he will play in the NFL. KylinJackson looks like a guy that covers a huge amount of field, has great instincts, and hits/tackles the way a great safety does. Could be wrong, but I didn’t see Matthews as a big get.

He was convicted of manslaughter back in 2017 and is serving an 11 year prison sentence for killing his mother's boyfriend.

Corey Raymond offered him after his Soph year, but hey what does he know

A couple things he mentioned..
1. Get developed to go to the NFL
2. Win a ship
Probably sounds better than "their bag of cash was bigger".

There are plenty other reasons he could have used that would be much more believable than those 2 though lol
