Yeah< I think it is fricking hilarious. he soooooo sure that the kid is going to LSU. I wouldn't take anything for granted at this point.

Remember Saban is probably the greatest defensive mind in college football right now. I know he's the best DB coach. If I was a defensive player I would want to play for the best. Is he going to ALA? I have know idea but to say he's definitely coming here and they have nothing more to offer is absurd.

So LSU has problems sending people to the NFL now? What more can Bama offer than LSU? Saban may be a great DB coach but that Ron Cooper guy isn't a slouch either. Look at what he has done at LSU already finding unknowns like Claiborne and even before LSU. Cooper is probably one of the best DB coaches right beside Saban. If you look at it closely, LSU offers more than Bama...

Not just in sports but outside it too seeing as he is from Louisiana.

Well, considering our shitty QBs torched their secondary last year that's not saying very much.

And yet somehow LSU could be sending a DB to the NFL as a possible #1 overall pick, despite Saban never having coached him.

It may not be the lock some are saying, but the facts are LSU can equal, if not, out offer Bama in the reasons-to-attend-LSU category in this particular situation.

So, "absurd" is the wrong word. "Debatable" might be more accurate.

There's so much stupid in these statements. You sound like you are a writer for Rivals. Saban is a good coach but no better than Chizik, Cooper, Pelini, or any other respected DB coach. You stating Saban is the undoubtedly best DB coach is as absurd as guaranteeing LC goes to LSU. You lack the ability and cannot personally validate who is and isn't the best DB coach. I ask: has Saban ever had a CB go top 5 in the draft? Cause PP7 will go top 5. Before you tell me PP7 would have done that anywhere he went, I don't think Saban players lack or lacked talent. He's had some nice players drafted; Corey Webster, Kareem Jackson, etc. My point is he's not without question the best, but one of the best, along with Ron Cooper and others.

As for LC, nothing is for sure but I have family that lives next door to Eric Reids parents in Dutchtown and 3 cousins that attend the school with LC. Eric Reid and LC are super tight and fwiw the family I have says Reid and LC have always talked about playing together at safety. Combine this with being close to home, LC they believe is a lock to lsu on decision day. He just wants to do it on his Bday.

news flash. saban isn't the best db coach. his secondaries have not been the strength of his teams. it's been his d lineman. saban's a good db coach. hardly the best. there are a number of db coaches who are as good or better.
