I agree...that a-hole needs to stay on his forum. There is something fishy going on, and it doesn't look good though. We might be out of the picture on this one.


You guys are sensitive. I think tiger football will survive with the 4 5-stars you already have. I am not rubbing it in. He is not coming to A&M, thus there is nothing to rub in. I have been lurking around here and decided to pass a long some information. If you want to remain ignorant of what is going on with your recruits than be my guest and don't read my post.

I know you guys didn't believe me when I said Pratt will not go to LSU, but I've heard it is official now. He has officially opened up recruiting and he will no longer consider LSU.

OSU is likely the front runner for his services. I doubt he goes to A&M given we have no room for mid-termers (85 schollie limit) and C-Mike is a better fit for us, unless Pratt wants to be an LB, which he doesn't

don't tell bama that, they took 32 last year


You can sign as many as you want, but you can't take 32. Alambama takes a lot of kids with grade risk. A&M used to take a lot more grade risk. We'd sign a ton and 10 wouldn't make it in. We've stopped that since Fran.

there is a rule on the number of mid term you can take. it has to do with the 85 limit at any one time and what seniors graduate at mid-term. but it does make common sense that miles would take pratt instead of a juco punter if there was a limitation problem.


Yes, that is exactly right. That is the issue A&M has with Mid-terms this year. We don't have room because of this. I would agree that it would be dumb not to take Pratt over a punter, but just reporting what is out there.

did you just become a member of this site to come and share this useless info?? get us rowled up??


OK, ok, i am done posting. Not trying to get everyone "rowled" up. I actually appreciate insight from other sites. I don't always beleive other posters, but I like to know what is being put out on other sites. So when someone comes on Texags and post, I don't really get upset, unless they are just being belligerent. Like I said, I view our mods as fairly knowledgable with the navasota program, so thought I would pass along.

LSU fans do not want to know what other Mods are saying. I got it.

Well let me inform what you believe is wrong. It's just a dumb rumor and this is nothing more than a clearinghouse issue. Pratt has stuck with LSU the entire time and wants to come here and the coaches want him very badly also. There is no limit on early enrollees so long as you don't go over the 25 total scholarships for any given year. We gave out 24 scholarships this past season and like I said we had 5 early enrollees this semester, therefore we can only backcount 1 of those guys to last year.


You guys know your scholarship situation much better than I do. You guys don't need to get so pissed.

I am just passing along some info that I read from reputable sources. That's great if you think he is coming to LSU....but he is not. Again, I don't have an agenda....He is likely not coming to A&M

You guys can shoot the messenger, but I am just passing along some information from that is from a reputable source. These guys happen to be close to the Navasota program. They say he is not going to LSU. I understand there is still some cloudyness as to the reason.

I really don't have an agenda. From what I understand he is not coming to A&M either. In fact, I'd rather see him in the SEC than in the Big 12.

Also, like I said, I am not sure about how many scholarships LSU has. What I do know is he is most likely not coming to LSU and is very upset right now.

Stop right there. This is such a load of bullshite. The coaches said we "didn't have any more room for another mid termer?"....stop right there and read that and look at how stupid it sounds. There's no such thing as room to begin with for mid-termers. You can have as many come as can make it in time.


You are wrong. You can only take 25 kids per class. Midtermers count against last years class. If you took 25 last year you have no room. Or if you took 22 last year but already have 3 mid-terms than you don't have room for another.

A&M is out of mid-term spots. Again, while I don't have the specifics regarding how many ships LSU has, I do know that he is not coming to LSU. Like I said, the mods on our boards are as close to the Navasota program as anyone else. Navasota is like 4 miles from College Station. There are a lot of close ties there.

I can tell you that he has a very small chance of going to LSU. This is not a clearing house issue. Les didn't have room for another mid-termer. Dexter is very upset with the LSU coaching staff.

He will likely go to OSU if he can get in at mid-term. Otherwise, he will have to figure something else out. The mods on the A&M site are very close to the Navasota coaches, so I believe what they are telling us. Also, one of the mods, is the play-by-play guy for the Navasota football team. He is extremely close to Pratt and the entire coaching staff in Navasota
