Sb nation article about Leo Lewis


quote:

#LSU mentioned all over this, including offering Leo Lewis $650,000, which seems like an exorbitant amount of money for a 4-star linebacker.


Miss State apparently offered 80k

Maybe we are offering 2 mil for the 5 star QBs but they are picking to stay at Middle Tennessee state for 30k

Read the article. It's pretty clear his mom threw out those numbers to try to pump more money out of ole miss. We're not dealing with smart people here.

Auburn only paid 250k for Newton. I refuse to believe inflation has risen that much in just 7 years.

Ole Miss is saying "people that number is obvious BS. Lewis family can't be trusted. Throw it out. " Interesting move

This is ridiculous

If LSU is dishing out $650k for 4 star LBs...we damn sure need an NC to show for it, or 5.

Biggest thing I took from the article is that Lewis is an entitled piece of shite of the highest degree.

It was blatant extortion. He was still deciding between LSU and State when he met the ole miss booster for the 10 grand the day before signing day

I keep telling everybody that if LSU wants to be competitive in recruiting that they need to start offering Aerospace/Astronautical Engineering as a major but nobody listens to me!

This entire investigation seems to be flailing, fast.
At this point, who is providing information besides MSU players? Seems fishy
