I'm far from an expert on Reed's recruitment, but I think early on his intentions were to enjoy the process much like LS.

I'm not certain where he fell on LSU's board, but it's apparent he didn't get much if any attention. It's not a stretch to believe that Miles would let an asst. drop the ball with Reed.

The WR board for LSU has went through a slight adjustment recently, and two new coaches are on staff. I don't know where Reed sits on that board at the moment, but that could play a bigger role in this than the minor miracle you are referencing.

Frank Wilson is the ONLY reason he's visiting LSU.

But that was enough reason for Freak Johnson to jump ship in a heartbeat.

You don't think Gonzo has anything to do with it too?

I'm sure it helped. But I think Wilson is the engine that got this old train running again.

He's got mad respect for Frank the Tank.

If he's so solid why is he talking to Wilson and visiting LSU?

Freak was solid to UT too. He was going to go play for Orgeron who's the best at DL supposedly. It took 2 seconds with Frank to switch to LSU. I think Reed is going to Auburn, but Frank has an uncanny pull on these kids.

Same reason some of our solid recruits visited other schools officially? A back-up plan..
Justin Hunter is solid LSU, why did he visit Ut and UF?

Because he was considering switching?

I'm still not a believer that Reed will switch from AU, but his interest in LSU is legit.

Thats all perception about switching. I dont think JH was waivering, just enjoying free trips.
I think his interest is only legit in regards to having a back-up school. He pretty much states this..

Well I find it interesting that his last visit is to LSU, not Auburn.

Hunter was very serious about leaving.Our saving grace was that he feels our track program needs him more.If only football we might have lost him.Thank god for our track program.

No doubt.

And Mike Davis played the party line "I'm solid" "I'm solid" "I'm solid".... and boom, switch.

If anyone thinks he's a lock to stay with Auburn or that there is no chance he switches to LSU you haven't been following recruiting very long, weirder/crazier things happen all the time.

I don't think he switches, but it's not impossible.

Personally I don't think it has anything to do with his coach.His coach has been pushing LSU since he has been there.This is all Wilson and open depth chart.I don't think he will switch but Wilson is definitely giving him something to think about.Home school with a coach he really likes is a tough thing to turn down.Wouldn't be suprised but doubt he switches.
