LOHS coaching staff has been notified that Hutch Gonzales has accepted the Head Coach position. Not sure when an official announcement will come from the school via Facebook or Twitter.

I know their official position is "we have no date set". However, LPSB would not allow football and other sports to resume unless they had a plan in place to get kids back in school soon after. They just aren't ready to make the announcement until all details are able to be addressed. Allowing football to start is a promise that schools won't be far behind. Can you imagine the PR nightmare if they allowed schools to play football knowing kids would be out of school for 2 months or more?

A school gets 2 points for each class they play up. In the case of a 1A school playing a 5A school, they get 8 points automatically for playing the game- win or lose. Then they receive 1point for every game their opponent wins.
If Redemptorist (1A) loses to a 5 win Terrebonne (5A) team, RHS will get 13 points in a losing effort, the same number of points they would receive for beating a 3 win 1A team. Playing up has its benefits, especially if you play a team that can win a few games for you. If you can steal a win, it is a huge power point producer. Hopefully, that sheds some light.

Not a big deal, but these guys are wrong. Tevin thought about canceling his trip to UK, but he already had the plane tickets and decided to make the trip.
La. Tech is still on the radar for an official visit. The trip to Kentucky is only his 3rd so far.
If he takes his time and looks at all his options, he may realize the grayshirt is not that bad an offer.

Lawson cancelled his trip to Kentucky and is headed to LA Tech to visit this weekend
Not true. He got on the plane for Lexington this morning and will visit Kentucky this weekend. He is still considering a trip to Ruston, along with some other offers for his last 2 visits.
More SEC and BCS schools with open spots have come calling since Wednesday.
He is still considering the greyshirt offer. Sources say he will visit Kentucky, TCU, and LA Tech. After visits, decide if he found a better fit than LSU. There is actually no rush for him to make a decision at this point.

I can promise I have more information than you do. I'm just trying to defend the kid while all these "experts" question his academic issues.
Like I said earlier, had LSU cooled on him due to talent...fine. But give him a heads up instead of pushing his official visit back (which LSU did) and leaving him a week to find option B.

Fair enough, so why not take the grey shirt if he's going to qualify?
Simple answer. Lawson was one of LSU's first commitments for 2013. He shut down his recruitment, took no other visits,etc. and LSU has backed out on him. There is nothing binding on a grey shirt offer. If LSU stuck it to him a week before signing day, why should he be confident they won't stick him again in January after he sits out of school OR pays his own way for a semester?
Pass me a pair of those purple and gold glasses that you are wearing. This situation MUST look better when you are looking through them.

ACT?
Tevin's grades and ACT are both fine-
His academics were in question 8 months ago when they offered....not now. He was worked extremely hard to get them to a qualifying status and he is there.
This is a clear case of LSU holding back on this news until his options were severely limited- making sure he does not go to a competitor.
I'm a big Tiger fan but this hits close to home and doesn't sit well. LSU has played dirty with a kid in their own back yard.
If they cooled on him, they should have known that when the high school season was completed. They could have at least told him sooner so he could take some visits and fully explore his options.
