re: Why would a TE recruit from LA not choose LSU?

At this point, do you really need to ask why a player would pick Bama?

There have been 8 college football playoffs. Alabama has participated in 7 of them. They have participated in 6 of 8 NC games...winning 3. They also won 3 of the 5 BCS NC games played before the playoffs came into existence. Like it or not, they are the premiere program in college football.

LSU made MUCH more sense for a TE. First, the OC and HC have clearly shown a desire to significantly utilize TEs in the offense. Second, LSU doesn't have a starting TE locked in right now. Third, LSU's OC is the same OC to whom you committed just a few months ago. All logic suggested LSU is the place.

But then the pretties girl in the class suddenly started showing you interest. It may not be genuine. It may be fleeting. You know the other girl may be the better choice. But when the prettiest girl in the class wants to give you a shot with her it may be too tempting to turn down.

If that's true he took chump change compared to what he could have possibly made if he started producing year one at LSU.

Good point, all this stuff about coaching and NFL TE's and what not is unlikely to go through his head. $25G hard cash vs no cash is not hard to figure out.

So did Bama. Your point?

Not his home state team, clown

He made a dumb decision unless he’s getting a lot of money. They have so many TE’s. He’s either going to move up the chart quickly or he will enter the portal very quickly. I see him as a portal player
