re: LSU lands 5 star defensive end Trenton Henderson

It’s such a dumb take though

It is recruiting and it is fluid. Sometimes it sucks, but it is fun to follow during the summer. Nothing else LSU related. Anyone who doesn’t get a little excited about a top 50 player committing is so absurd

It's not a dumb take. Why would I get excited 6-9 months before a player actually has to sign? We've seen this story time and time again at every single university. Player Commits.... then in a few months they decommit because they wanna take their visits but they are still a "silent commit" then they sign with someone else, then we as fans trash the kid for going to a different school and say things like "I heard he was a headcase anyway so we dodged a bullet"


Let me tell you what i get excited about. Guys like Garrett Nussmeier who could have transferred out but decided to stick around and become an LSU legend.

I like a good transfer as much as the next and I'd love it if a 5 star committed to Michigan flipped last second to LSU... But recruiting is honestly bullshite now and I do not care about any of these guys until they put on a gold helmet, white jersey, and gold pants, slap that win bar and run out on the field for the first time.

NIL and transfer portal makes recruiting ridiculous.
