What’s to stop Rodney from sending a LOI in to LSU and Ish sending his to Alabama?


I don't think they're legally obligated to admit Rodney if he signs a LOI and they don't follow through on their end if that's the agreement.

Seems like they should get it in writing that admitting both is a single transaction, like a sign-and-trade in the NBA.

Surtain was never committed to LSU. It was assumed he was a strong LSU lean untill things went south the last week. Even then he lead Raymond and O on.


You are right & I'm wrong. He just lead everyone to believe LSU was his leader for over 3 years and his dad was a N.O. LA native.

That’s a fricked up perspective from his standpoint and if I were his brother Id tell him to kiss my arse. He doesnt need his patronizing bullshite ultimatum to play college ball. How is he not embarrassed with this?

He’s hoping bama offers his brother also. I know it doesn’t work that way, but LSU should tell him to screw off.

Bama doesn’t need to play this game and neither does LSU

This is not a surprise. Many have speculated this is the case.

Didn't LSU basketball do the same kind of thing many years ago when recruiting Lester Earl?

If Bama doesn’t move on and things dont trend our way soon, it’s obvious we’re getting played

Sopsher is another Anthony ‘Freak’ Johnson and not worth 2 scholarships IMO. The coaches need to focus their energy on players like Young and Pickering. Pickering looked unblockable at the UA practices.

Becuase he kinda does. Does Rodney even have Southland or SWAC offers?

What’s absurd is you thinking Saban doesn’t have a counter and that he’s not behind having Ish say these things.
Where the frick have you people been the past few years?



It's a good way for LSU to be stuck with 2 openings instead of one. I wouldn't doubt Saban is behind it. I think people don't realize the lengths Saban will go to keep his opponents down. Things off the football field, devious things to hurt the program.

Welp, if his relationship with O is so great, why is he feeling the need to blackmail him into signing his not talented enough older brother?

Sophser is not an LF7 type talent. This is a bit absurd.

If Rodney can't contribute and Ish isn't a star, they will be hated at LSU. Ish better dominate. He's holding LSU hostage. If he isn't an instant different maker, then he's just a guy

Not possible. Rodney won't get his papers till we get the signed papers from Ish.


i'm not putting it past Ed O to screw Rodney over...

about the prom analogy, you gotta be realistic. if you're not hot and the girl is, you're probably not scoring when it's all said and done. what good is a recruit who doesn't really want to be with you?

It does seem weird unless you’re pressuring someone to do what you want. Bama wants this kid. Bama fans want this kid. He’s hoping Bama fans and boosters will put pressure in order to pull strings for a scholly
