If you are a recruiting buff, what a weekend. I didn’t/ won’t read the entire decommit thread , I tried but some of the lunacy in there would cause brain damage. Where are we though that a thread on a decommit, at a position we are so flush, it’s almost an embarrassment of riches, FYI- Sage Ryan is even better than advertised- if he stays at current position barring injuries that spot is officially locked up for 3 years- think honey badger but faster. Think I am exaggerating ? Let’s talk after UCLA game. Langlois -speed speed speed. Then lowly Derick Davis Jr. - STUD. And the upper classes is littered with potential starters. Anyhow like 240 comments on that. So you would think the news of LSU getting what they absolutely need as a team more than any other positions. A absolute dominating, multi positional , future NFL type lineman, already projected as probable starter his freshman year - has to have 500 + comments right ? Naw around 70. What is wrong with this picture? All we hear every God damn day. Where’s the linemen- well here the the frick he is. And I can guarantee you this kid has more character and humanity life skills than apparently 80% of this board!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to Tiger Nation—Emery Jones
And kudos to the Jones family for a well thought out and decorated Commitment party.
Thank you


OK back to Mathews, believe what you want, but not all decommits are the same. Understanding now what actually happened, I know this sounds like complete cop out, but You and I probably do same in his position. Hear me out-Initial reaction was absolutely shocking to my ears, and nearly everyone else. But after talking with a few friends maybe not so much to Ed. If you guys remember the word I used earlier this week “chaperone”. Maybe, just maybe this old coon-arse was dead on. Hopefully y’all understand what I am saying- with out saying it. A couple facts I can share- communications with staff are continuing and they feel that even after his 5 vacations, uh I mean visits are done. And after all these recruiting “resources “ are used on him and family. He will do what several other blue-chip recruits have done in recent years and re-commit to the team that his heart has never left-LSU

Now onto Boys/Boot. So Aggy has their event, absolutely filthy with Who s Who in 2022 recruits. Don’t get me wrong, their attendance of 5 and high 4 star kids was something never seen before. Is A&M suddenly better than LSU/Bama ???
I think we know the answer to that.
Back to our lowly event which even the majority of my 247 brethren booed and hissed about. So why even have it ?
Well if you think getting confirmation from scrubs like
Wiggins,Tapp,Ausberry and bonding of the cream of the crop of our 2023 class of their current team to commit to I guess maybe not so bad ?
So who had better weekend ?
Aggie with stars galore, everyone who reads or has ears know why. But only 1 commit from a mid 3-star ?
Or LSU -Who got 2 open commits from skyrocketing TE and a bonafide future 3 year starting 4 star O- lineman. While LOCKING IN 3 more high end La. kids? And showing LOVE to most of the 2023 most wanted ?????


Lastly Aggie, I got my return phone call from ex- Bro-in-Law. Professor in Aggieland. His take is they took the news of OU/Tx pretty much as we all saw / heard. Panic has set in. They feel like it is now or never. 1maybe 2 years before big bro. Moves b
ack in permanently. They made collective plan to use ALL their assets to do what they perceive necessary to secure a top class this year.
OK let’s talk SEC etiquette in recruiting, everyone put on your big boy pants and listen. Recruiting is the absolute most back stabbing, name calling, mostly no holds barred, financially exhausting event known to college athletics- hell maybe of any entity. With that said there are certain things not allowed openly by Any team. You can be nieeve but it is on most sites, Twitter - everywhere. What they did crossed the line. I am 100% sure that calls were made, will be maid to and from many universities. We all use different tactics to recruit. I assure you we know what Bama/Georgia/Clemson ect. Uses as they know what we do. I not gonna detail what Aggie did, but I’m sure you saw some of the recruits Instagram/ Tic Toc ect. Yes they crossed the line. They are literally playing with fire.

I know this is to long, most will not read- just trying to share.

I haven’t been on tiger droppings lately but I’m pretty shocked to peak in to our fan base losing their minds over Texas A&M.

Jimbo is and always was a good coach, and he has incredible resources at A&M. You’d have to be a complete fricking moron to not see he was going to make things interesting.

With that said I see no reason to believe LSU is jeopardy of no longer being a top 10 program. We have a huge budget, great facilities, great slush fund and our brand is so much bigger than a lot of our peer’s. People need to take a Xanax

Thanks for providing an update on this weekend. We should rejoice with Emery Jones and Mason Taylor in our class. Hopefully, Jacoby Matthews will reconsider and renew his commitment to the Tigers. Lest close this class with outstanding recruits!

The fact remains most of the states best 2023 talent did not come. Been a long time since the boys from the boot was as poorly attended.

I didn’t hear about LSU hosting something until coach O said it on his Weekly Tuesday morning radio spot. I have been hearing about Texas A&M pool party for a long time.

That's all i was saying. Seems like they just threw it together last minute.

I'm not worried about texas a&m but lsu should have a boys from the boot and it mean everything to Louisiana recruits.

So was this a everybody go to College Station getting paid just to go there regardless if you commit to them or not? If that is the case I don’t blame them hell I would go if that meant free money even if I didn’t sign with them. I saw Shemar Stewart was there. We know what he and his coach was looking for while on their LSU visit.

What do you mean, of next years top 10, only Holstein- A&M commit, Manning stayed home, went no-where, and Tacket Curtis whose coach and family literally burning bridges daily, let him go play wherever he wants. I assure you, we will survive.. All others where there. The sites were asked not to report on this, but F it I will. There were 3 out of state kids present 2-5 and 1 4 star. If names come out cool, but won’t be by me.

Also throughout weak quite a few “under the radar” visits were made. 2 went as good as they can. Ed is learning not every thing he has going on needs media attention.

I know some will ask . The 2 out of State kids referring to as having, as good as can ask for. 1 from Fla. told y’all about earlier in week. 2.nd one was 1 of the 4 Texans we discussed.
