Sam Spiegelman formerly of SECCountry is working with Dandy Don's during his time between

Sorry to hear that Cox is canceling SEC Country, that sucks! Freak Cox!

Forgot to mention a couple of items I found interesting from Sam's article.

1) "Noah" Cain’s father was rocking LSU gear this week in Frisco, though.

2) Kentwood’s (La.) Trey Palmer and Amite’s (La.) Devonta Lee sit atop of LSU’s wide receiver board, but Curry is right behind them. Both of the in-state receivers aim to commit in February, which could force the Tigers to push for Curry early. The team plans on taking two receivers in the 2019 cycle.

This may be a direct response going forward to the early signing period. Does a team get very good players locked in and signed in December or do they wait for players, who may or not even be as good, until February?

The wait approach could lead to teams getting burned on signing day, missing out, and then having to take even lesser players as a result. Some players may be about to find out if teams view them as being as good as they view themselves.

It's intriguing, but my gut tells me that after getting burned last year LSU is going to pull he trigger in the early period to make sure that they fill their needs, even if it means potentially missing out on some talented recruits in February. They'll hold a few spots, but I don't think they are going to stake the future of the team on the whims of a few teenagers who want to string this out until February.

exactly..... don't risk being put in a bad situation regarding depth to hold a spot for one player anymore like Surtain. Hind sight is 20/20 so I am not bashing just sayin' learn from that mistake and don't repeat it.

Or it could result in a local DB transfer from Stanford and a much needed much hyped QB transfer from tOSU.

well good, that site could use a journalist

look I kind of got why people paid attention to the site back in the day because DD was one of the first sites....why anyone gives a damn about what his son has to say, well I'll never know.

You obviously don't read his reports. He does provide some unique recruiting insight. He also interviews people in the know. I love his interviews of Mike Detillier. Bashing someone who provides a good service for FREE, shows your lack of intelligence!!!

Told y'all we were expecting him to commit... Caught the whole staff off guard.

He just tweeted an interesting tidbit on Nathan Pickering.

I'm curious if Pickering volunteered that, or Spiegelman asked him. I might be reading too much into such things, but if Pickering volunteered it, it seems like he's "sending a message"

Elite Mississippi DL Nathan Pickering, now committed to #HailState, says he was close to committing to #LSU in June after camp. However, his parents weren’t there and he opted to hold off. State got him to pop the following week

I have my reservations on him now, but we have never lost contact or stopped pursuing. If we can get him back on campus with his family, we may can make something happen.
