re: 5 Star LB Harold Perkins (4 overall player) signs with LSU. Gives LSU 6th overall class.

There is no question as to his talent and it's understandable he is trying to build up drama both to raise his profile and because he is clearly enjoying it. This is why you should never allow yourself to get too emotionally invested in a HS Recruit, folks forget these are 17/18 year old kids getting far more attention than the average person can conceive of at that age. A guy like Perkins is basically being treated like a Rock Star.

I have no ill will towards him no matter what he chooses. The only time it pisses me off is when kids go out of their way to talk about how much they love school X and are long time commits and then they switch last minute. When they do that they are likely taking a chance from another kid that would have loved that scholarship and that's kind of crappy if their only goal was attention. If they are at least honest beforehand they are wavering that's one thing but last minute switches without warning suck. Honestly I think Travis Hunter deserved some criticism for this. Still they are kids and think selfishly, I have 2 of them myself.

I can’t wait until all the fans who dont get him start talking about how he’s a locker-room cancer, not worth the drama & a bust right after he signs.

To be frank, I'd probably still think some of this if he signed with LSU
