It's pretty clear that Dellenger is a conduit for messages from the LSU power brokers. When he breaks something, it's because someone important wanted it to break. My question is why the hell would this break a few days before a bowl game that could provide a lot of positive momentum into the offseason?

1. Is it Alleva? This would be absolutely terrible PR management. I really hope not.

2. Is it a power broker trying to influence public perception and get in front of Alleva Et al.? This is equally as troublesome.

Simply, why?

The threads on this board were getting stale so they decided to spice it up a little bit.

Well gilbeau was the first news guy to report it officially.

It had been rumored for months

At this point you might as well let dellenger confirm it

They wanted to get our “Top 5 Candidate” threads going, of course. They need ideas.

Lots of people have known this for weeks. We have been trying to tell you this. This is not new or a surprise.

That's fine but putting it in the news cycle is a little different.

Hopefully they leaked it to see if the public would pop the Steve Ensminger trail balloon.

When would you have released it? Think it's about as strategic timing as you can get. Kept the drama at bay for quite a long time. Now, let's get to the good news as soon as possible.

Dellanger said on OTB he was waiting until Monday night after the bowl game to realease the info but after Guilbeau said something yesterday he confirmed it.

Probably Derek P and O's groupies trying to make sure Alleva can't go back on it incase Canada lights it up in bowl game. Now there is no turning back.

Yes, in an ideal setting. Here's the problem...you can't put that kind of pressure on the players (who already knew) and above that, expecting them to compromise their integrity by asking them to lie.

Early signing period. Now all the offensive recruits that thought they were going into a stable situation just got pooped on.

Early signing day is a crock of shot for this reason.
