I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is true.

Think back to when you were 17. Remember how fickle you're emotions were. One week you're totally in love with one girl, the next week another one comes along.

I think Lache probably enjoys the attention and who wouldn't at his age? The Tennessee staff has already shown that they can recruit. If they go at him full press, who knows? Lache seems to love anyone who throws love at him.

Again, who can blame him?

I would be...Why would Lache go where the #1 player and RB Bryce Brown went last year?

It just doesnt make sense to me. Especially if he "wants to win the Heisman as a true freshman." With BB there, no chance he would see the field enough.

Brown Mountain,

It doesn't make sense to you because you're being completely logical. As an outsider, you can take a step back and be completely objective.

But the reality is that we're talking about a 17 year old kid, who is getting all this love thrown at him by different schools.

It's funny to see how differently kids handle this process- look at how tight lipped Reuben Randle and Joe McKnight were in the process compared to Lache, who seems to say mostly positive things about every school that recruits him, yet shite talks Nick Saban.

I'm not sure where he'll end up going, but I'm pretty sure he'll change his mind several times before making his final decision.

If Tennessee is in the mix with Seastrunk, that means that he's not "all Auburn" as has been said. It also means that LSU is right there as well and this puts to rest the Trovon Reed to Auburn talk as well.


I think Trovon Reed is the reason Seastrunk is giving the Vols a look. He was on campus so we have a chance. I don't think we will land him with Brown and Oku here. But you better not count this staff out.

Reed is the one I would like to get. I don't know how good are chances are but Wilson and Orgeron are on him pretty hard. If Reed wouild commit it seems like Seastrunk may follow. But you never know.

I would say you all are probably right. I don't really think we will get Reed or Seastrunk. But I do think Reed likes UT. That is probably why Seastrunk gave us a look. I think we have a small chance with both. But I don't think either end up here. I agree with most of you all it will be either LSU or Auburn.

I think AU and LSU, along with UTex, will end up being the front runners in the end. I just hope the excitement with LSU he was raving about last year is still there. ie. wanting to play with Michael Ford and family connections.

doing that makes as much or more sense as he and Lattimore or he and Dyer going to the same school.

the Aubies all beleve that stuff, so why not beleive he would go play with Brown.

at least he would be a "change up" from Brown.

Well shite; why shouldn't we? He was the one that tried to get Lattimore to come here.

I hope Seastrunk ends up in Auburn. Because if he does I like our chances with Dyer who is actually in Knoxville now visting. If Seastrunk ends up at LSU I think Dyer goes to Auburn. But you never know. I wanted Johnson myself but you guys already have taken him off the table.

Reed has said he wants out of LA. He has not given big clues. But he has said he wants to go somewhere with someone sense he is leaving LA(likely). He was considering staying in LSU cuz his mom was an LSU fan, although he wanted to leave, his mom was sick and dying. His mother on her death bed asked him to follow his dream of moving somewhere better right before passing. The LSU boards are just now figuring out they probably lost him.
He has wanted to leave Lousiana and play in a big time program. He is good friends with Lache and wants to go where he goes. They seem to be making decision together.
LSU is not totally out but not a favorite. If Lache goes to LSU that could change things.

Reed is no lock for LSU

Reed story is sad. I am pulling for this kid. I would love to have him. But wherever he ends up I hope he does great things. He has had a tough time of late and I for one would like to see him really do well. Whether it be on the plains, in Baton Rouge, or Knoxville.

When? Because I've heard him say differently.

I don't care what the boards say, only what the people that actually know him and talk to him have to say.

obviously.

I don't think anyone on here will disagree with that. But I like LSU's chances better than anyone else right now.
