re: Did Eddie Lacy really not get an LSU offer out of HS?

It was either him or Michael Ford, we got Ford. Most people would've taken Ford over Lacy, at the time, considering injury and grades. Also, Ford was committed a full year (on junior day) before Lacy committed, which was on signing day, IIRC, a time which we only had four spots open, three of which went to Mingo, Montgomery, and Rueben Randle.

The Bama fans may tell you differently, but that's how it happened, as I was at a signing that day, myself...
