I remember a recruit was set to announce for a rival SEC school (I think Auburn?), but it was leaked before his announcement, so he chose LSU instead

Think it was either Key or Bower, can't remember. Recruiting is wild. Sorry for the random question

Bower was announced to Florida I believe, but I don't think that made him choose LSU. I think it was just bad reporting.

My mistake. I thought I read an article about weirdest reasons a player committed, and this was one of them. Could be misremembering or misread

Harvey Williams, back in the mid 80's, says he picked LSU at the last minute because he hated the sound of the A&M fight song being played at his signing or announcement ceremony.

quote:

Williams grew up in Hempstead, Texas, where he was touted as one of the country's top high school running back prospects in 1986. Williams was considered a lock to commit to nearby Texas A&M, but shocked everyone when he committed to LSU at the last minute on signing day.

I heard it was two girls talking about him going to A&M on the way to the announcement.

Said it changed his mind

Key was committed to South Carolina twice, but committed on TV to LSU a few weeks before signing day.

can't remember his name but I think he was sent home because he was one class short of qualifying for the SEC. he ended up at Okie lite as the Big 12 doesn't require that class. he then got thrown off the team for weed violations. Pruit or something like that. I don't think he ever played a play in college.

1986, Harvey arrived in BR in a lime colored rust-holed bondo job 1972-esque Lemans type junker, by the next Fall, he has a 1987 silver 300ZX with special rims, a bazooka boombox. Arnsparger's Tigers and Harvey own ATM on the field of play vs Sherill..win win.

Harvey's choice of LSU over ATM..smart!

Even 'Woody' the current TAMU AD would admit as much..he was there enjoying it all.
