Where did you see we cooled on Devin Smith? He commits next friday it's between Kentucky and LSU. I would love to have both them if possible.

We are definitely still in on Devin Smith.

Mo Williams wanted to be here but his “mom” had other plans. She had her chance to go/pick a college but isn’t allowing her own offspring to do the same. Math ain’t mathin in this situation

It doesn't seem like we lead for Smith

House needs talent and Xavier clearly has it. Glad he's back on board. Had a talk with an Ag and we kinda thought maybe LSU and A&M had cooled on him.

Would love to get Williams back. He's a talented safety.

I think we need one more safety.



So did he leave or did we tell him to leave?

Y'all all said he was flipping to Aggie and to forget about him but he never even decommitted

Kinda. The kid seemed to really like LSU, but liked the attention more. Started visiting other schools and publicly saying his recruitment was still open. LSU said that isn’t how this works. He’s probably realizing he still wants to be at LSU.


The strange part is that either he asked to be removed or 247 removed him from our commit list, while the other services didn't. Something doesn't line up and Shea/Billy stated they hadn't heard from him that he'd decommitted, even though they put in picks for him to do exactly that around the time of the Bayou Splash.

It sounds like it's all water under the bridge now, but just an odd series of events.

It’s almost as if our insiders don’t know shite.

In fairness to them, they only know what they're told by their sources or the kids/families. So if they're being lied, led the wrong direction, or whatever, then there's only so much they can do.

So just take what you get from insiders with a grain of salt, rather than as Gospel.

We need another safety like we need another running back. We need interior defensive lineman worse and a 5* corner wouldn’t hurt.

The kid personally asked Sonny to remove him so if he's back on it I'd assume he asked Sonny to put him back on. Seems like on the LSU side, Sonny is his choice to give info. On3 hasn't known anything with his recruitment other than hearsay.

You don't blow off a kid from Lousiana like that. You keep recruiting him and turning him around.

Devin Smith could be an edge as well according to the guys at on3 , if you can get him take him



I could see that looking at his build
Super long arms. He is already built.

This was really puzzling to me. He committed to LSU because his friends that died in a car wreck loved LSU. I thought he'd be one of the recruits we never had to worry about. I glad he's back in this class.
