Can we get a list of big recruits that we thought we had but bounced last minute… my gut tells me most of them ended up doing nothing.

That being said, we always find a way to bounce back.

We also always seem to find a way to get fricked over at the very last minute.

Yeah we do, but I believe these huge deals for single players will result in more issues for the inevitable team they end up on. These players are always one injury away from being a sunk cost that amounts to nothing.

I’m trying to find some light in the dark hole we find ourselves in every year ??

He made it to LSU. He was just so unmemorable that it seems like he didn't.

Surtain wasn't a commit, he was just predicted to LSU for years because of his (and I believe his dad's) relationship with Corey Raymond

95% of recruits that spurned LSU in some hi-profile fashion has never had success either at their choice school or the NFL. The list above, the 5for5 moment, etc.

Ahh let the emotional fans have their emotions. Keep facts out of it. The kid lied to LSUs program. Other recruits fans on and on you think he’s a high character guy with a strong moral compass??? The facts say no. We’ll see in a couple of years what lost we add him to. The endless of bust that did what he did or the first one to actually be good.

As his commitment approached most people thought he was very overrated. He was a low effort, bad attitude kid that showed very little burst off the line or plus athleticism. Just big and strong.

A LOT of folks on this board called him being a bust and Bama had to take his shitty brother to get him.
