This. As bad as some of you are melting, you'd think this dude was a 5 star, can't miss recruit. He may have a good college career, but he's no more of a sure thing than Provens is and we already have that guy committed

I think Lawrence Keys is priority #1 at least for the slot position. Everything I read is LSU is hitting him up hard. The way it sounds is LSU wants Keys more than they want Bolden. Maybe it's just a numbers thing.

I wonder if this would be getting so much attention if Bolden was from somewhere other than Monroe/ WM.
Sounds like we made a conscious decision that we had others higher on our board at WR/ slot.
if it was pure neglect, I might feel differently, but until proven differently, LSU has done a good job assessing receivers.

If he wanted to be here he'd be here. All this give me love shite, grow the frick up. Like as if LSU doesn't have as good or better than this kid already.

They had video? comparing him to the slot receivers in New England (same type of receiver )showing him how they'd use him the same way, etc... This is what recruits mean when they say "SHOWING THE LOVE".


Video supposedly also had pics of Julian Edelman's girlfriend Adriana Lima.

Just to be clear - I'm ok with this. I do not know Bolden or any other high school players for that matter. I originally thought that he was going to be a La. Tech or TCU type player. Hell, I even told my oldest son last year that there was no way Slade would receive an LSU offer - I was wrong.

The bigger problem (that you are seeing from so many NELA people commenting on this board) is that LSU has seemingly lost interest in this area over the last several years, unless it's a can't miss like Cam Robinson. LSU is not winning like they once were, so recruits are losing interest in LSU. If LSU doesn't want Bolden - FINE, but don't act shocked when his teammates and others aren't falling over themselves to go to LSU with the "Silent message to Mr. Bolden." - sorry, we don't know who you are - as someone posted earlier.

this. The high school you go to matters so much in the recruiting process. Put Slade Bolden at West Ouachita and nobody knows who he is

He marks LSU’s second running back commitment in a week following Chris Curry on Thursday night, although the athlete listing indicates that Provens could possibly play somewhere else. What’s interesting is that Provens may be taking the spot of West Monroe’s Slade Bolden, who fits a similar profile as a running back.

who cares. this is guy is gonna go to bama just because we put his name out there so much that the whole country knows about him. this kid will be a permanent bench rider at bama. he gets way too much attention on this board. Newsflash- this is NOT the next LF7.

I thought members of this board didn't like recruiting 3 star athletes.

Maybe he just wasn't that big a priority. Maybe he is "not all that and a bag of chips."
Maybe we missed.
We'll see.
