How about someone trying to generate pre-orders of their book?

LSU and Auburn were the only SEC schools recruiting him, besides aggy, obviously.
Mississippi State also offered. That was my point in listing them.

Even if the "top20" moniker was given for a single year, it wouldn't include Ms. State.

Now since we've established Auburn was out of it before the end, and honestly I'm not sure how you go about buying players during a coaching change, but anyway, who is aggys great recruiting threat from the SEC in Southeast Texas?

But yeah, could just be hype for pre-orders as well, wasn't there something about buying players mentioned in the book that followed Orgeron around?

Deductive reasoning is implicating LSU, you should ask yourself why.

Has it crossed any of your brilliant minds that some teams may have been dropped early BECAUSE they offered incentives?

Yep, although, based on his father's comments, I'd say they took the lower offer to go to aTm.

It's not uncommon to take a lower offer to go to a market where the money will go further, or to go to a place you would rather be. Ask anyone who has ever accepted a job.

This is some ATPB level spin.

Good Job.

They needed a QB far more than him.

Without any proof it will be another character assassination with zero penalties for the school that is named in the book

My guess is either Mississippi or Bama for the SEC team with Clemson as the ACC team.

Someone doesn't understand the meaning of "weak". If there is any truth to it (and I'm not saying there is) only LSU is suspect.

Dont think we were even recruiting him that hard...Also, LSU and Auburn may be the only SEC teams on his offer list, but that wasnt the case.

Other teams have pulled their offer after NSD...

I don't see where we even offered him... Or was that the character assassination you were talking about?

Both athletes deny receiving benefits...why do you believe one but not the other?

The critical difference is that one volunteered the information, while the other waited until others, including the NCAA, uncovered the details.

The former is thus far more credible.
