"LSU fans know it's not a violation seeing how Russell Shepard's gf works in the athletic department"
the one he met once he was already here?

His mom is not happy that her 18 year old son is listening to his girlfriend's family and not her. It's understandable.

I expect most of your mothers would be upset if they learned that they had to travel to see their son play ball after being lead to believe the opposite. that your child listened to girlfriend over mom. serious disrespect by lc and hard feelings by mom are understandable. hoping but not expecting for this wrong to be corrected by signing day.

True, but since she's talking bad about Alabama...

So What?
As much as I would like to see him in purple and gold if the kid wants to go to Alabama then let him.. I mean it isn't like Alabama is less of a school than LSU and some kids just want to get out of the state. I can also understand his mothers wishes for him to come to LSU problem is going to college means you are suppose to grow up and make decisions like an adult. It is a decision he made so good luck to him..

If auburn didn't get in trouble for paying cam's dad "without cam's knowledge", then they ain't got shite on the LC situation. Aight?

Dale Brown put Randy Livingston's brother on full scholarship as a team manager.
Back in the 80s, when Danny Manning comitted to Kansas, his dad went from driving an 18-wheeler one day to being an assistant coach on Larry Brown's staff the next.
A less direct instance would be the Janszen Jackson/Lance Guidry situation.
While it appears less than ethical, this shite has gone on for years.

not to mention Dale Brown hired Stanley Roberts high school coach to be on his staff.

I'm glad she's screaming for all to see. Maybe if she gets enough press then people will look into shady practices by Bama/Saban. Maybe there is nothing there, but it doesn't hurt for them to look.
Personally, I think Saban recruits so well because he has proven himself as a winner. Kids want that opportunity to learn from him...and win in the process. The way the media hangs on his nuts, what 5 star wouldn't want the opportunity to play for him?

Nice catch.
Dale also did that with Ron Abernathy (Rudy Macklin) and Rick Hucakaby (Howard Carter).

LSU has a similar situation going on right now...within the rules.

This woman could cause an all out war among SEC schools, specifically between LSU & Bama, if she doesn't get her panties unwaded quick. Nothing good can come from this: not for LC, not for Saban, not for Alabama, not for LSU, not for Miles, and not for the the other schools who might want to pile on.
I really feel for the kid. The birth mother is a freaking nutjob and he can't do anything about it unfortunately.

How could it be anything but a violation? It's tantamount to providing money directly to the player in return for his commitment. The girlfriend in question merely acts as an illicit conduit for the funds. The cash passes from the athletic department to the girlfriend to her beloved, the recruiting prospect. It's entirely foreseeable that wages paid to the girlfriend are going to materially benefit the recruit. Why isn't that an illegal benefit? It's seems like the case for a violation is especially strong where (a) the AD/coach in question knows that the young lady is dating a highly coveted prospect; (b) the AD/coach offers or promises the job to the romantic interest before the prospect makes his final enrollment determination; (c) and the AD/coach does so with the transparent intention of inducing the prospect to commit to his institution. If that isn't a violation, then the NCAA should revisit its regulations. Form shouldn't trump substance. That's paying players
Do you have any idea how much these kids get paid to work in the athletic department? It's very very little and it's also public record since its a state institution. Therefore they would be stupid to pay her any more than anyone else with the freedom of information act requiring open book keeping.
So if this girl wants to work for free to put a couple hundred bucks in her boyfriends pockets every other week, instead of having money of her own, then that shite is on her dumbass.
It's amazing the cockamamie bullshite people will cook up when their are butthurt about their football team.

Yep...this is one of those non-issues that people make into a "bigger" issue than it needs to be.
