Was talking to a young LSU fan about the season and Slade came up.
Apparently this kid went to a neighboring high school but was very close friends, they are still in contact.
I said that I hated he didn’t come to LSU and he quickly said “he couldn’t go”
I asked for details.
He said they were hanging out and he got a call from Coach Orgeron saying his scholarship wasn’t available because of Terrance Marshall Jr.
This was before his Bama visit apparently.
Doesn’t make sense to me considering TMJ is a wideout and Slade would’ve been a multi-purpose tool.
Anybody know if there’s any validity to this?
I was told a few other stories that involve Bama and his recruitment, if anybody is interested I can post those in the comments but wanted to keep this as LSU related as possible.

our offense is antiquated. we have no use for an all purpose back. We don't even use a tight end.

-the rant.

That doesn’t make any sense considering we only signed 22 guys that class. 23 was for Cole Tracey. This was before we knew about Burrow or Alexander. We had 3 scholarships available when that class wrapped up. Considering this he could have been taken. 23 went to Tracey. 24 and 25 were grad transfers with Alexander, and Burrow.

This is like the game we all play in 1st grade... the telephone game or whatever. Tell a story, pass the story along a few times, get a completely laughable result.

Slade is a mediocre player that’ll never contribute at Alabama. Who cares?

We didn't miss out.

That I guarantee you. Nothing to see here and no loss.

He went to Bama on free will. Just own it, and stop making excuses.

I tried to make it short and concise so as to only include statements I was sure were made

Slade was one of the more overrated players in that class. He won’t be more than a practice squad player that Saban uses when they play a dual threat QB. He’ll have a longer career selling insurance in his hometown than he will anything else.

Player commits to LSU...

This board: “he’s super underrated and will be an absolute beast at the next level”

Player commits to a rival...

This board: “he’s super overrated. Really average player. Will never see playing time. He’s fat and he takes plays off”

Saw him play and he regressed tremendously after his junior year.

Hell, even WM fans agree he did.

I ain't losing no sleep.

No he wont. Bohannon is recruiting way better players than him.
