Not negative at all. Good move. But it's not really noteworthy. Every coach on staff probably sends out a dozen or more cards and letters every day. And there's no evidence Les is the one that did it.



Actually this is evidence nobody else has to this point if you can take a clear inference from his twitter. Who cares who packages it and buys it?

So now I don't accept Les, because I'm not jumping for joy over some recruiting gimmick?

I think Les is awesome and a great recruiter. Sending out letters to recruits' moms is a good gimmick. That's it, no more no less.

Just not that big of a deal. Little bit touchy up in here.

I get your point, just adding a lil humor. I've had friends and family members be recruited, trust me, i know the ins and outs.

You're trying to make us downplay this for some reason when there is no evidence to suggest we should. This is a good sign. If he does the same thing tomorrow because the texas one came in the mail, we can acknowledge it. But right now, I see this as a great thing for a guy that is one of the top DE's in the entire country.

It's obviously unique and noteworthy enough for Prevot to tweet that his mom was "amazed."

My point was that after the OP, about 6 posts in a row were lauding Les:

Les is awesome.
Les is such a family man.
Go get 'em Les.
Les is changing recruiting.

When in fact, the tweet never mentioned Les, and the card was more likely from the coach that is recruiting him. Les may not even know it was sent.

Les is in fact awesome and I love the guy, but this is a little overboard.

Ok man I'm not going to argue with you about this. I'm just happy that someone somewhere in the athletic football opts building sent his mom a happy mother's day card.

This is a good sign. ut and a&m both are not confident about Prevot. I think we lead.

From aggies and longhorns is where he is hearing it from. It's just word of mouth but still AGSWAG isn't going to get it done. It's really a LSU/arse To Mouth battle.

Prevot won't give a top 3 at the moment he is taking it all in just like everyone other prospect.

Who's to say the whole staff didn't have a part in it? Maybe(and likely) that the entire staff signed the card so that would mean they all did their part, no matter who's idea it was. Also since Prevot's mother got one, you'd assume other recruits' moms recieved one as well so Bubba's point is also valid. Either way it doesn't hurt that Prevot was impressed enough by it to mention it publically. That's the important part. Every kid is impressed by different things. Some prefer cash and cars, while others are more impressed by Mother's Day cards. Whatever works.

Nice thing to do whatever the motive. If he comes here over it -good if not his mom had a nice little surprise.
