Man heard just a little while ago from someone who spoke to his father, that it looks like he ain’t coming to LSU. The only thing that looks good on LSU’s behalf and has kept a crack in the door is that his childhood friend Chris Hilton has already signed with LSU. Not sure if A&M or Bama is the favorite at this point he wouldn’t say,
He did say that LSU told the Thomas family that he wouldn’t get much playing time as a freshman, therefor it made it seem LSU didn't want him. It will be a family decision and we should know something by Wednesday. I get it we loaded at that position, but you’d want to keep your top talent in state right? Anyway just a little info on what I heard.

I mean atleast they're being honest and not being lied to. I mean geez the world ain't sunshine and rainbows and you aren't the second coming of Randy Moss. He could want to be like Boutte but the only reason Boutte got meaningful playtime is the mass exodus of WRs and the fact that he worked his butt off like a 2*, and even then he only started the last 2/3 games.

Meanwhile the SEC recruiting board says he is coming to LSU.

We got 4 WRs already.

So id rather the lber from Cali.

Not buying any of your OP. According to reliable insiders, LSU continues to push hard for BTJ.

I have a hard time believing the LSU staff would flat out say something to the effect of "he won't get much playing time as a freshman".

Maybe your sauce is reliable, but I ain't buying it.

Do you really think his father would leak out the news randomly before signing day?

Wednesday is Brian Thomas' national spotlight day. I believe his father wants to hold that true for his son. We shall see what the verdict will be on Wednesday.

Geaux Tigers!

Not buying this. No coach would say this.

If they were honest, they’d say he’d have a chance at a lot of playing time and possibly starting if he worked really hard and improved in x, y, z, etc.

Because that’s the truth.

There is no chance in hell LSU doesn’t want Brian Thomas, and would tell him that he won’t play much next year.

I call bullsh*t, there’s no way we ever tell that to a recruit.

That’s flat out BS. We didn’t bring in Peetz and Mangas to go back to Power-I formation. We will be in 4-5-wide sets fairly often. You got Boutte, and... right... those other guys he can split time with.

Mane stop lying that's not in Ed's vernacular. What you meant to say "Nick Saban told his family he wouldn't get much playing time"...

I'm not saying you weren't told what you say you were, but I don't believe this. Evey coach says the same thing. "We want you to come here, and you will have every opportunity to compete for a starting spot/rotation spot as a freshman. "

A&M’s 5-star freshman WR never touched the field last season. LSU always plays it’s freshman early.

That makes no sense. And he would get more playing time here than he would at Bama or A&M either way

He wouldn't play early at aTm or Bama either, so that's a moot point.

If he is good, he should not fear the competition. The kids who go to Bama aren’t worried about that. His friend Hilton isn’t worried. Why is he?

Oh your getting plenty of PT at bama, I bet ... Com'on man!! This was said to Brian ?? Naaaa I Highly Doubt that!

Think about it, Your a true freshman, If you prove yourself on the practice field You will get Notice ... No one at LSU wants to keep anyone off the field if he can help the Team!! Freshman or Not!
