re: Simien "around" Noon Annoucement Today

Maybe just maybe LSU has a game plan on how much an incoming freshman will get that won’t start immediately and focus on which players to pay. Theres no reason he can’t come here in a year or two if he proves his worth.

LSU/Kiffin didn’t get simply outbid by Notre Dame. It’s just that Kiffin isn’t going to pay ridiculous money for any high school recruit that is most likely gonna sit on the bench in year 1. If Kiffin knew Simien would probably start immediately then i guarantee you Lane would’ve won that battle and most definitely wouldn’t have got outbid by ND.

Gram read previous posts,ain’t gunna pay a freshman who won’t start .Hes only 285 lbs needs time to develope.Not paying top $ for that.

Our Staff believes Amaziah Siale is a better prospect anyway. 3* with probably the 1/10th of the cost.

it has already been verbally established by Kiffen that they are not going to spend big $$ on freshmen that will not make an immediate impact on the team ala an Easton Royal or a 5 star DL where they rotate a lot. It's why they didn't go all in on Dobbs. He wasn't going to play this year. It's a smart game plan and will save lots of money to go after players that will actually contribute.

My understanding is LSU has 3 players they wanted more than Simen and willing to push to get those three.

Simen is two years in development type.

Great player, just LSU is looking for a starter types or back ups that will play next season.

LSU hat fake.

How does posting the video of the commitment make me an asshat?

People asked about the hat fake. I posted the video.

Why are you so angry?

I never really care about losing players to Notre Dame.

Culturally, Notre Dame is so vastly different than the SEC schools and your other big-time programs (Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Oregon, etc). More times than not, the Notre Dame kids generally are a little more polished, reserved...perhaps less thuggish? They don't have a lot of Shemar Turners, Nick Fairleys, Ruben Foster, Dallas Turners ....

So, losing out to them, well, generally those recruits care more than just football. Losing out to other SEC schools, however....that's a whole different story. Except for Vanderbilt, we're all the same, just with different color helmets and jerseys.

Not to disrespect the kid because he may go on and be great at ND and I hope he does. But he plays for a bottom dweller team for the worst district (District 3) in 5A. He is local to my area and is very good, but he isn't facing the best talent in the state. He is a bit undersized for today's OL standard. Not a Day 1 starter so its hard to justify Day 1 starter money.
