re: Jabar Jalluke told Surtain jr. to not come to LSU?

What the hell are you talking about? Jaluke and Craig were fired the day after NSD in Feb 2017 for whiffing on Akers and Wilson. Craig was the RC and evidently was confident that he was getting these guys and Jimbo stole them out from under LSU...

This is not correct.

Jaluke was not fired from LSU. He was reassigned and left on his own to go back to Texas Tech. It is correct that he was reassigned for sucking at recruiting.

Craig was fired the day after signing day. It was because he sucked at his job. I don't think Eaux was happy with him and his coaching of the WR's but the final straw was one player - a WR.

Craig was appointed as recruiting coordinator when Eaux became interim head coach.

On signing day the LSU staff was anxiously waiting on a fax of a signed LOI from the #1 JUCO WR in the nation. I can't remember his name but he was originally from Louisiana. The fax never arrived. They found out late in the day that the WR would not qualify AGAIN.

One of the main duties of a RC is to know who will and who will not qualify. This allows the team to offer others who will qualify. To make matters worse in this case is that it was a freaking WR - the group the idiot Craig was responsible for that could not make it. He was deservedly fired the very next day.
