Lol, did you even read the article? He even said that as soon as Reubens Foster, his idol, told him he wanted him to commit to Bama that sealed the deal for him and he wanted to commit right then and there. He was never coming to LSU, not with Miles as coach, AD or president.

Do you know him personally? People like you will ruin LSU recruitment in this state.

The firing of Craig, and reassignment of Juluke, and the replacements look VERY problematic.



No, it does not.

In a transition year, the firing of a couple of coaches is VERY reasonable and not alarming at all.

And you don't have to like the Orgeron hire. But not recognizing what this staff did on the recruiting trail this year as a huge accomplishment is nothing short of idiotic.

I don't know him personally but a friend of mine does. He told me when the rumors came out that they were interviewing him he was going to turn it down because he just got to memphis and his wife doesn't want his family to bounce around again so soon.

Take that FWIW

David ain't too smart is he?


It is a pressure cooker to be on LSU's staff. Both from a coaching standpoint and a recruiting standpoint. If he doesn't feel like he can do the job without getting fired, then I don't blame him or want him on our staff.

Joseph is a well known name in the metro New Orleans area when it comes to football. The connection to the younger generation is that the fathers/uncles of these recruits are at the 45-50 age range right now and either played against or read about Joseph growing up. I really like this hire. And no, I didn't go to Shaw but I am a fellow Catholic Leauge guy. HC-88.

Ha ha.
This is moses' qoute.

Oh yeah. No doubt. That would have been the school I would have went to if Les Miles was still there,” Moses said. “It’s a done deal (now). He’s gone. I still have a relationship with him, but I haven’t spoken to him since he was fired. I’m still going to keep a close connection with him


But yeah we should take your opinion over what Moses actually said.

Dude, if you're that naive to fall for that schtick that Moses gave, I don't know what to tell you. He decommitted in August before the first game had been played. He was looking for a reason to commit to the gumps. All the rest is bama spin. If you don't think he was coached on what to say by bama then you haven't been following recruiting very long.



You football ignorant posters blow my mind. Please explain Moses would need to make shite up. He will be in the nfl and never needs to come back to LA.to live. Im sorry you dont understand recruiting or cfb.

Youre just one of many football ignorant posters that believe their opinions outweighs facts.

Easy. He needed an excuse to go to Alabama and firing Les gave him that. Y'all must've forgot that Moses decommitted from LSU before Les was fired.

We had other recruits open their recruiting and then end up signing with lsu.
Why would Moses need an excuse to sign with Bama? He will be on an nfl roster and doesnt need to come back to Louisiana. Its like you guys dont think he had a great relationship with a lsu coach thats been recruiting him since he was in 8th grade. Moses has no reason to lie. He doesnt need an excuse to sign with bama. He doesnt give a frick what any of you think about him.

You probably need to take a look in the mirror when you say that. The ignorance is on you. All that stuff is just what I said, bama spin. It was the same thing with Mathis. Do you really believe that he had never met who would have been his position coach after 3 visits? All this stuff those kids say when they commit to bama over LSU is coached by bama, scripted to make LSU look bad. It serves two purposes, it takes some of the heat off of them because there's never a shortage of gullible people who believe that bullshite and it plants a seed in other prospects minds that that may have been a possibility. Geez, I hate to have to lay all this out for you in such simple form but it's a shame that you've allowed yourself to fall prey to all that bullshite. You've now got no less than 3 posters telling you the same thing. But go ahead, continue being a sheep.
