It was from me. So basically through reading he gave a commit to Texas in June on his official. Then we get the Texas RPM and crystal balls picks riding high. Texas thinks he’s about to pop after the visit. He waits and then ends up at LSU for the Bayou Splash. Four days in Baton Rouge with family. The whole 9 for an unofficial. Pictures, tour, “commitment” video. (He has done one of these for Texas and Miami as well).

Then LSU starts to feel they have him locked in. Honestly to me you look at Brandon Harris and Sherman Wilson’s Twitter. You see how these recruiting guys on both sides feel because they can’t help themselves but tweet something.

Then I believe yesterday but possibly this morning I see that after all the resources LSU has poured into this recruitment with I think 8 visits(Official still set for Florida) that if he chooses Texas the staff will have felt played and not going to go through these games.

Yeah what if Texas put an NIL that’s untouchable in there that’s the landscape. LSU believes/believed that their relationships are/were enough at the end of the day with NIL. LSU will never NIL Texas. You get rewarded with NIL at LSU once you come to campus and earn it.

You can’t blame Colin for staying home if he chooses so he’s from Texas. It’s why it won’t hurt as bad the next day.

I know that’s a lot of shite to read but we’re hanging on the patio with drinks so I say all that to say this. If he picks Texas after all the time they’ve spent on him and his family they will divert their resources into other prospects. BK and staff feel like they did enough to secure his commitment.

There comes a time when you give your best shot and move on. I have bought and sold many multi-million dollar businesses and properties and always had a minimum I would take and a maximum I would pay. Walk away in a heartbeat if necessary with no remiss...

You seem to have been following LSU recruiting but just now have an account. So were you someone before or just a lurker? I mean this is an easy one. Tigers side felt great then last minute start backing down to let fan base down. I mean people are comparing this to Ricks last year.

I know that a [poster used to have that but I don't know from which site.

My dad is a Texas alum. He emailed me yesterday and said congrats y’all are getting a good one from Duncanville. He post on Inside Texas, a paid site that a lot of alums and high school coaches are members of, and it appears both fanbases think they aren’t landing this prospect best I can tell from what I’m reading on this recruiting board. Guess we will find out soon enough because he acted like it was a done deal.

Who's arguing? Not sure I'm the one who's running around looking for arguments.

The player my dad was discussing is named Colin Simmons. Full disclosure I don’t follow recruiting all that close. I dropped in here hoping to read a Boom on Simmons. Unless something drastic has happened in the last 24 hours the posters on Inside Texas don’t sound confident about signing this kid and our fanbase seems to feel the same way. Can’t say my dad has ever emailed me and said congratulations you guys got one hell of an edge rusher heading your way. As noted above I guess we shall see.

I read it all and thanks. I like how Kelly and the staff are thinking. Don't spin your wheels on high school kids playing games with you. O struggled with that so much and that was, in part, how our roster got so abysmal so fast.
