You chicken littles live to post "5for5" and "1/2" and I am the crybaby?

You kids cant go a single thread without bringing it up like you are a jealous 15 year old girl that just can't get over it. Everyone here knows it happens. Most of us realize the show must go on and realize we don't need to bring it up in every thread.

Which was it? They knew or they thought? There's a big difference.

I know you think you're catching me contradicting myself, but I was mocking you with my original post because you said they "know" we don't have 7 open spots. They "thought" they were getting those guys on 1/2 and were wrong, plain and simple. Just like they "think" they'll get Valentine, Kelly, etc. As far as I'm concerned, there's seven open spots and none have been filled.

You are usually a decent poster.

Need to take a deep breath.

This class will be great!

Losing credibility with each post. With that type of behavior you could run your own recruiting site.

Yes it was a rough day. Yes we were irritated. Yes people were lied to.

This board celebrates those committed and speculates on those not. Most agree that it's best to leave it to the coaches. These guys get paid MILLIONS and hundreds of thousands of dollars to do what they do. I find it highly unlikely that we are going to head into National Signing day with 7 spots open and are just going to "wing it". At this point we don't have a luxury of "holding spots". It's hard nosed hair on fire recruiting right now. I think we land 4-5 more. And regardless of who those are, this class is unbelievable.

Three, next dumbass question.

No... you are an admitted liar. Nothing you say can be treated as fair or otherwise. With as many posts as you have, one would think you have something useful to say. Albeit, from this point out, they are all lies until proven otherwise.

I enjoy this board because there is usually some pretty good sources to information that I can't get since I live out of the BR area. Keep this board free of lies. Speculate if you want. But no need to all out lie just to make your point 'fair'.

I'm glad you think I'm a decent poster, but I'm not mad about recruiting. This is probably the best recruiting class we've had in the Miles' era, and I think we finish with the #2 class this year. Sucks losing the other guys, but I'm not sweating it.

I am irked by people on this board that act like babies when someone posts something that rubs them the wrong way. I didn't even say anything negative; I just pointed out that the coaches don't "know" that any of the seven remaining spots are filled. There's nothing false about that statement, yet balloon knots like RAT have a baby because they think I'm being negative. It's not like I'm spewing negative propaganda; I'm just pointing out what happened earlier this month for those that are putting the cart before the horse.

I'm gonna go ahead and call BS that an anonymous guy in Cary, NC knows and talks to 3 LSU coaches about recruiting on a regular basis.


I've never made this claim.

but, yes, it was already said multiple times that both Brown and Willis gave the LSU staff more than enough good vibes for them to expect a purple hat on 1/2.


It's been confirmed

LSU will sign 25 guys, and the class will be top 3 nationally.


I am inclined to believe this will happen, but I am just being honest after reading some of the chatter.

I'd like to get Young?
Dupre
Valentine
Kelley

After that, it's pretty sketchy is it not?

I said "pretty sure".

You mocked an opinion aka a flame.

We have differing opinions. As I've stated I don't feel (key word) that there are 7 spots open. I could be wrong. But I also feel that if 7 spots are open that the coaches didn't do their job. This is an elite program with elite coaches. I am pretty sure they are doing their job.

Yeah, because there's links floating around with quotes from them saying we'd get those guys. When have you ever seen a quote from a coach saying they'd get a player before he committed? It was posted on multiple recruiting sites from multiple analysts that LSU would at least get 4/5, if not 5/5. The guys that run these sites have sources inside the athletic department and football team.

If you need further proof, why are we scrambling to fill the remaining seven slots? The coaches reserved three spots for Noil, Willis and Brown and expected to land those guys. It's pretty common knowledge that LSU expected to get more than Fournette and Adams on 1/2.

No you're not. Correct. It's just those that enjoy the recruiting board and spend a fair amount of time here are really tired of the 1/2 & 5/5 comments.

They are about as original as PIIHB on the OT or STTDB on the Rant.

The truth is you don't know what the coaches know. You have lied repeatedly in this thread alone. You said you weren't being negative when in fact your first comment was negative. I don't think you are a decent poster I think you are a first rate dumbass

And I think that's fair. A lot of us do mention 1/2 but it's not because we're being whiny. It's because it highlights the uncertainty of recruiting. The coaches were certain that they had players in the bag when in fact they didn't.

All of us are happy about the haul we're bringing in but I think more than a few of us cringe nowadays when we see things like someone's a lock or they're just trolling. Just because the coaches think one way doesn't mean we have to think the same way. The coaches probably think they're never out of it with a kid, but they HAVE to think that way because they're the ones recruiting these guys. For the rest of us I think it's ok to be cautiously optimistic and not always be quick to drink the kool-aid.

what makes you think so? taken to an extreme, you could say that coaches don't know they have any commitments except for the 2 early enrollees who are locked in.
