We'll live with or without him. I think he ends up in P&G though. Especially if we play well this season.



exactly. a safety will never make or break a signing class esp at a place like LSU

well, he was wearing his Bama sweat shirt when he took his ACT at LSU....I suspect Florida schools are in the mix too.

Even though the bama pic is photoshopped I still thought I'd throw in another pic of a recruit sporting his future colors. I thought about Lache wearing his lsu gear but thats been done to death. Then I thought about showing Cassius Marsh in his lsu eyeblack a couple weeks before he faxed his LOI to UCLA. I had a good one of Jamarkus McFarland in an lsu polo and someone already put up Rueben doing the U sign.

In the end I decided on some pics of Craig Loston:

No Florida schools are realistically in it for Landon Collins.

As a Bama fan I will say there is NO chance that Collins ends up in Tuscaloosa for anything other than an official visit.

It's from an "insider" that I respect quite a bit, and I don't want to get into specifics, but just take from it what I've said. If today was NSD, LC is a Tiger. That should be good enough.

Lol. The pic is not photoshopped. It was taken directly from the NIKE Facebook page. Check it out. It's in the albums.

In my opinion Collins is a can't miss. He is another Laron Landry with freakish size and ability. I have seen him play a lot


I respect your opinion but no player can be a cant miss. I've seen too many can't miss guys bust over the years. FTR, I believe he signs lsu like everyone else and hope he balls but can't ever agree with can't miss. Laron was a middle of the road 4 star similar to Ronnie Vinson or Reid coming out. My point is you never know whose gonna ball out and who isn't. Its not science. That's why teams oversign. Lol.
Interesting too you bring Eric Reid into the conversation. I have an uncle and aunt that live in the area and have had kids attend dutchtown the past 5 years to present. My uncle attends home games and actually believes athletically LC has the edge but from from a football instincts point of view Reid was more advanced at this point.

You are so wrong. Lc is going to be better than Reid, and Reid is no laughing matter.

Seriously, have you attended any dutchtown games? LC has TM7 type of insticts. He's a fricking monster.

I hope he comes to tigertown so I can eat crow from a while back.

While you may be right that no player is a "can't miss" in the strictest sense, LC is pretty damn close to a sure thing as you can get. I would bet a lot of money that he will perform at a very high level in college.

TM7 instincts? Please. Thats a little unfair. We will see about that. I sure hope cause LC will suit up in P&G but TM7 has the best instincts I have ever seen out of a true freshman and I've watched lsu football for 25 years.

I don't doubt his ability or potential but Craig loston was also a vicious, instinctive "can't miss" safety prospect and hasn't lived up to that potential yet at lsu.

Answer the question.

Have you seen him live? I've watched him in person, on the same field as Reid. And many times since.

I'm not fricking with you too hard, I just want to know if you've seen him live and that is the basis for your view, or if you are just speaking in general.

Either way, you are wrong.

I predicted Bama about 6 months ago. I'll eatcrow and buy anyone who mentions Tigerdroppings free beer at the Bayou Bash if I'm wrong.

beer is free at the bayou bash

The kid is ready to be a star no matter where he goes. It's hard to get my hopes up about LA kids, but at least he shows us some love. I mean, he's not just wearing the Bama visor. He's pointing to it like "That's where it's at right chea". I still think he ends up in P&G until though until he signs. But I'm hoping he comes to Bama. I'll be a fan of the kid no matter where he goes (besides Auburn) cuz you know he is gonna be special.
