I'll respond to you, not the guy calling us moronic....

but for clarification I didn't say it was to steal LSU's thunder. I stated it's an effort by ESPN to have as many big name announcement on their televised game. And I'm not talking about just Hootie. But a "former" 5* that's going to Bama that they can't put on TV is a loss for them.

Check the post again. Decision made, but Hootie didn't tell the guy where.

Because LSU cooled and Bama is infinitely better than Ole Miss?

he told our staff he was committing to LSU and then committed to Bama the next morning. We then moved on and he had second thoughts about Bama. Now, Bama is moving on and he's gonna end up at Ole Miss because his top 2 choices have cooled on him.

LSU didn't screw up in recruiting him. They moved on.

What a bizarre recruitment, hopefully he chooses a school for the right reasons tomorrow and this can all stop.

Lol so why decommit if not to bait lsu into recruiting him

Just saying, if it were me, I wouldn't publicly commit, then decommit then recommit to a school on national tv ... Just seems a little more to the cause than "normal high school recruiting"

Can you tell us JJ, why did he decommit in the first place ?

Might want to tell his Mom I say that because of what she tweeted about Saban still wanting him.

And I'll respond 120...that is pure speculation on your part...and if you had ever met the kid, you'd know it was moronic. He wasn't "confident" when he announced. Surprised a lot of people very close to him. I wasn't surprised when he de-committed. But I can assure you, ESPN did not play into it by any means.

So why decommit


I've said this the entire time. If you were wavering just do it to yourself. My feelings were he wanted to go to LSU and was shut out. So he's going back to his best option. We'll find out tomorrow.

I saw that JJ...who is that jackass she was responding to? (Actually....I think it was his dad...). That dude portrays himself as an LSU fan, but all he does is lamely try to crack on people. If he's an LSU fan, I'm embarrassed. Sadly, 17 year olds probably pay attention to that b.s.

you've been crapping over our staff's handling of Hootie for weeks? What's your beef?

you insinuated there was [much?] more to it than this a couple weeks ago. If I remember correctly you said we would get a pretty good laugh out of it.

So you're saying you,felt that he decommited with the thought of choosing lsu but couldn't commit bc there is no spot for him OR other factors you can't discus now?
