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

1) You are wrong.
2) Tim Williams has an offer.

Never said Tim Williams doesnt have an offer, because he does. But, we have backed off or slowed down in recruiting him.

I'm also hearing that Lacy, having grown up 20 mins from BR, didn't want LSU. That is also wrong.

Lacy is originally from Helen Cox in NOLA. Didnt grow up in Dutchtown. Moved after Katrina. And, he actually indeed wasnt as interested in LSU like most of the LA guys are. Fact. And i understand the grades issues, but we give a lot of guys that have grade issues time to get it together if they want to come here. I mean if the guy has a shot to qualify, we usually give them the chance to qualify. Look at Avery Johnson. We knew he had questionable grades and might not qualify. We didnt just pull his scholly. He ended up not qualifying and went JUCO route, but we still gave him every opportunity to put it together. And even though he went JUCO, we still wanted him and are still going to take him.

Why do people think its impossible for a LA guy to not like LSU?
