Just got off the phone with his Dad. OSU did a great job of defining his role, telling him he won't be a change of pace back, he'll set the pace. Showed him their recruiting board with his name at the top, etc. A kid who played little league with him in Utah is already there and this is huge.
Parents LOVE LSU. Mom is distraught and Dad is sad, but they want Boo to decide without interfering.
Les and Frank will visit at 5pm today. (My guess is to get an OV).
They did NOT move to Gonzales to get exposure. Matt got a job at Marathon and they decided Gonzales was a good place. They heard that LA Football was as tough as it gets and wanted Boo to go against the best. That's it. The job was more important with 8 children, I assure you.
Stay tuned, Les is pretty convincing...

He'd probably be better off at OSU if he wants a lot of playing time.

RB Palelei adds bulk, adding interest ZACHARY, La. -- When Sione Palelei's father was considering moving his family from Utah to Louisiana when Sione was in seventh grade, he told his son that the football in Louisiana was "big," as Sione puts it. about 258 days ago | Gary Laney | NCF On The Trail

Playing time is a big priority it seems

Kid might have just got caught up in the moment at OSU. I heard on Charles and Jimmy show that LSU will not give up on him and will go after him harder. Kid could easily flip back to us

His dad is sad? Didn't you say he was the main reason they even visited OSU, or did I read that wrong?

Dad wanted to go just to have a vacation, least that's what I read.

Man you take this shite way overboard and act like it's an attack on the guy to say he got exposed in la football. Chill out.

Ed, you from St Amant?
Posted on 12/9/13 at 3:44 pm to Cincinnati Bowtie
No, but I know some people there. Believe it or not, I went to EA, among other places.

Oh, okay, then I know you can read.
