I’m sure Bama told him they would just give his spot to a starter from somewhere else via the portal if he waited. Probably a bluff, but that doesn’t even matter. Even two months is a tight timeline for building new relationships from scratch with a new staff.

Shazz Preston should've said "I don't mind playing for mediocre coaches as long as we're boys."

That dude will end up processed or in the Portal at Bama.

We have a coach with a brain now instead of a potato.

This one got away, but I’ll take now having BK and to keep working on next years class rather than keeping O and getting this kid.

Translation: I needed a reason to go where I really wanted to go and get the pressure off me from Louisiana people.

Guys I trust that watched both Jarvis and Shazz play damn near every game have unequivocally stated that Jarvis was a much better player coming out. All three guys said that Shazz is good enough to play in the SEC West, but felt he was not a “must get” like Terrance, Chase , Boutte, or Brian Thomas coming out of HS.

He wasn’t coming even if O wasn’t fired.

Sucks but, it’s something you have to expect in a transition year. LSU put the full court press on him in the little time they had

Right. And is that why he never made a visit to LSU?

Exactly. He never even made a visit to LSU, even though he had two visits left.

No he don’t…He gonna abuse you to accomplish what he wants and you won’t get the same “meds” that you get there when you get to the league and you won’t sign a second contract because your worn out, abused body can’t take it.
But by all means…don’t let the door hit ya….

Either you want to be a tiger or you don`t.LSU wants
players who want to be here.Not for the money only.This
class when its all said and done in FEB. will be very good
with alot of kids who want to be Tigers.
