He has a job. That doesn't make him a rat.

If others are playing the game better than we are, that is our fault.

Seems like some of these elite football recruits will make bank in college and stay a year or 2 longer before going to the NFL.

That will come down to the "bird in the hand versus two in the bush" decision.

Most will think they can make more as pro athletes, whether they are really good enough or not.

Not in any official capacity.

Being a Louisiana native that is purposely influencing kids to go to our rivals 100% makes him a rat.

If a guy in one mob family is paid by another mob family to give them information, that guy isn’t “doing his job”, he’s a rat.

I'm not surprised because I have a feeling every big program has a guy like him. It sounds like it will come down to $$$ just like most of them do. If we want him, we need to up the offer and hope he bites. If not, he becomes Tiger Bait!

Not me specifically, but several various members of the Grid Iron club were encouraged to spread the word on the issue

So this guy is taking advantage of an opportunity to make bank while offering players money/scholarships. Am I missing something here because this seems like Capitalism to me?
I hate it and it will, and already has ruined the true, raw I’ve always dreamed of playing for “X” team-which is unique to college ball.
What is this baw doing that 99% of the posters here wouldn’t do for the $?

Lol.

“The Rat.”

If a “rat” can cause a five star that was recruiting for LSU to de-commit then maybe our recruiting isn’t as tight as we think it is.

For getting a kid to de-commit and get 5k to go to a gay Aggie pool party? Lol. Over react much?




Matthew’s had committed because of LSU’s recruiting ace Mason smith. Who by all accounts has done a nice job.

Was so firm a few weeks ago he openly talked about recruiting other people to lsu.


Dunno what this guys role is in him decommiting. But he took what seemed to be a firm commit to the good guys & check mated mason smith

Like I said 3 weeks ago. NIL hurts LSU - doesn’t help.

But we are in the game and the game ain't over until the kid signs on the bottom line. If you follow recruiting this is nothing new. Recruiting ebbs and flows like this.

I haven't seen anything that tells me NIL had any thing to do with this.
How do we know this is not just a good old fashioned money drop?

I posted a thread about this on 247 last night and Shea deleted it because he said he talked to a few coaches that said that wasn’t true.
