Moscona just said LSU should take Rodney Sopsher to get Ishmael.

I didn't know about Rodney. Is he any good/ worth a scholly to get Ishmael? If we take the package will we get Ishmael?

Lenny was definitely worth a Lanard. Hard to say the same, but I'm tempted to say yes.

Ishmael got the better deal in this naming convention.

Give him a scholarship and lock up Ish. Even if only for perception, you can't let a 5* DT out of LA if you are Orgeron

Agreed.

Just cover that arse and don't let him pull a Nkemdiche on us like he did Clemson.

Rodney doesn't get a LOI to sign until Ishmael has faxed his in. Commitments don't mean jack, so neither do the offers. Both sides should be cognizant of that and upfront about it.

I say do it, but I don't know whats going on behind the scenes.

At most, we get a special teams player and stud DT, at worst we have a wasted roster spot and an average DT.

In both scenarios however, we shore up the relationship with Amite.

It seems as though he isn’t ranked

That’s hard to believe he is that far off of his brother

U figure they have practiced together their whole lives so he has to be some type of athlete

I think Ish is pretty damn raw himself and not some technically advanced player. I think his brother must've gotten the other parent's genetics (or have one different parent).

They absolutely should

Almost every signing class has about 10 recruits that don’t amount to anything. He’ll just one of those. Plenty of 4 stars never produce a damn thing anyway. He needs Sopsher especially is he’s gonna whiff on 5 Star RBs.

Don't offer a kid just to get his brother. That's silly. I want kids who want to be Tigers

Is the brother ranked at all? Are they twins?

I’ve read that this is more of how it will look than even what the staff may think of Ishmael. They wouldn’t want another highly touted player in that area to get away and further work negatively against LSU.

Most agree even if overrated a bit that they would want Ishmael. I honestly have no idea if it’s worth the extra scholarship spot. I am indifferent. I’d like Ishmael but unsure of Rodney and how good he is.

It’s called the cost of doing business. Take Rodney and get Ishmael? Why the frick wouldn’t we? We did it for Leonard Fournette and we should 100% do it here.

Leonard was much more of a sure thing and wasn't that presented differently. We have to do it but he will go to bama without his brother

Whatever it Takes. At this point, Sopsher is almost needed more for PR than his actual ability, it seems.
