I hope he picks LSU, if only so we don’t see postings a couple of years from now lamenting, “I can’t believe LSU let Sopsher get away” or my favorite, Did LSU even recruit ...”.

Rivals is a BAMA showcase rag. It’s all you need to know about trolling. That freaking landon “my GFs uncle gave her a 80k car” started it all with his fake arse mom by trolling lSU knowing she was getting that cash.
We all know she wasn’t in favor of him going to BAMA.

swear the majority of this board wants him to go to bama just so they can say "I told you so" and pretend to have sources


Glad to see the coaches go all in. You cant lose out on a guy of his talent instate AND lose out on them to Bama. Double whammy.


I don’t WANT him to go to BAMA, but I’ve seen this dog and pony show before.

Fool me once.......
Fool me twice......

Based on what i've seen, he wants to play with Rod more than anything else.

HBD from Ish to Rod

We don’t think it’s close at all lol. Sounds like the same old and story and he hits us with the I love LSU and this is tough for me but it’s a business decision. #RollTide #RespectMyDecision

the first response to a positive article was to shoot it down. The number of threads trying to down play the kids abilities is off the charts. It’s ridiculous.


Serious question:

Have you seen him play?

Ish personally has done nothing to show interest in the program so I’m not buying it for a second.


The dude showed up to two practices (practice!) one month ago

I'd rather get the other two big targets and tell em "sorry, no room left"

This BS is typical Saban crap

Who are the other DL that Bama is pursuing? You know, the guys that would get left out if Bama gets Sopsher but will take if they don't? We should be putting the full court press on those guys saying "the space is yours if you sign early".

Nope.





Can’t fault the sites for trying to keep it interesting and selling subs. It’s how they make their money after all.

Exactly. Be prepared for the pro LSU pictures and social media posts. It’s almost that time.

Blood is thicker than water. If Bama does not take his brother, he's LSU's to lose

If that is truly the case, look for Saban to convince the brother to take a greyshirt or something similar if that even exists anymore (can't keep up with rules changes).

He always finds a way.

Any real fan wants this recruit to commit to LSU and if his brother has to be part of the deal, then so be it.

Unfortunately, long time LSU fans and followers of this board have seen these battles play out before. LSU has won and lost their share. Normally, the ones LSU loses have a certain feel to them where LSU gets strung out. This players recruitment has that feel, but I don’t begrudge the staff one bit for grinding hard on the recruitment of this player.

Hopefully, it works out for LSU, but you can’t blame folks for being somewhat skeptical when you look at the recruits visitation log.

You are spot on. I don't think we're being negative here. We're being honest. We've seen this movie many times before and we know how it ends.

We want this one to end differently, with the local kid picking LSU, but typically, when a Louisiana kid's recruitment goes like this, it seems like they choose Alabama.

We know the staff has worked their tails off to get this kid. And we hope we get it.

But, and I hope I am wrong, I think the writing is on the wall.
