Which tiger did you have the most fun following his recruitment?

I got into following recruiting late in my fandom. I didn’t really bother paying attention to it until the whole 5 for 5 thing in 2013.
So what are your most fun favorites and what is their story?

Leonard Fournettes was wild. 4 years. Thank god for Frank Wilson’s.
Jamal Adams was fun. I remember watching Jamal cover Malachi Dupre at a camp and I told a buddy he was going to be a pain in the arse. Joke Phillips is either Jamal’s godfather or uncle but at the time he was on Florida’s staff and everyone thought Jamal was UF bound. Then Hootie spurned LSU and it felt like LSU was losing Monroe completely and out of left field Les goes and lands Jamal Adams (with a ton of help from Ed Paris).
Another fun one was Klavon. Kid started playing football at an LSU camp between his sophomore and junior year. He was on a visit with Eric Monroe in basketball shoes and O asked him to run some drills. Before you know if he had 4 sacks in the army game, he was ranked #11 in the country and it was down to us and Texas. With a lot of help from Kary Vincent we landed him.
Devin White was fun to watch on the outside knowing that he was going to LSU. I remember him tweeting about Ole Miss when he was on a visit and dudes on here were complaining about how he should just commit to Ole Miss already and get it over with so we stopped wasting time on him. Grown men melting over a tweet.
For all the good there’s always bad ones. Gunner Kiel, Surtain, Moses, Joe McKnight and Landon Collins stick out to me.
5 for 5 never really bothered me. Going into it i told everyone I was watching with that I only cared about 1 player and that was Leonard. Obviously Jamal was an animal foo but Jamal developed. I knew what Leonard was. Tony always looked like a track star trying to play football and I had heard some stories about Speedy and Gerald that led me to believe they weren’t gonna finish college wherever they started.

Jarvis Landry. His high school film was incredible

Stingley!1 --- and it's going to be more fun watching him move to stardom I casually knew his uncle or great uncle when I lived in Chicago - great family, owned some McDonald's up there - and those values shown throughout his recruitment

Janzen Jackson. Loved following his career as well.

Kardell Thomas. Committed, never wavered. A tiger at heart.

I remember seeing an interview with PP7 back when it was us v Miami battle, he was asked about the Miami v FSU rivalry and said “get on the (Miami) bus or get run over” thought he was a lost cause at that point. Glad I was wrong, he started our DBU culture imo

Apu Ika, way better than fat arse from Amite

I remember PP7 went to some "stars" camp at USC right after he decommitted from Miami and I thought he was signed, sealed and delivered to them.

Cecil Collins.
We already had Faulk & Mealey rolling along, with depth behind them.
Reporter: “So Cecil, why would you choose LSU with Faulk & Mealey already entrenched as starters at RB for the next few seasons?”
Collins: “Because I’m better than ALL of them.”

There is a curious knock at the Chaisson house shortly before 3am. Coach O arrives in time to follow the family to the airport before K’lC and fam head out on an official visit (to USC?).
Coach O to the Chaisson fam: “I didn’t come out to your home at 3am to speak to you for 15 minutes before your trip just to have you sit the bench at LSU.”

Harvey Williams
Fools in TX bragging and gloating that Harvey is about to be an Aggie. Word gets back to Harvey about all the Aggie talk, and it just pisses him off to no end. So he decides to flip to LSU on NSD instead.
