re: LSU fans - Leonard Fournette

I think Saban sorta has a "sweet tooth" for Louisiana prospects, where he'll lower his standards looking at lesser tiered recruits. I think that too is an ulterior motive, looking at the big picture(potential pipelines).

I agree with you on this. But don't discount Saban's psychology background on this. He's the one that said LSU fans have the worst case of catastrophe syndrome of anywhere he's been. He knows we're his biggest hurdle to climb each year and knows that an easy way to get our dumb arse fanbase riled up is to keep pulling kids from Louisiana. That causes unrest and feeds negativity.

That's not me being paranoid. If I'm smart enough to think about how effective it is for him to do that, he's already thought of it 10 times. It's part of him always looking for even the littlest edge. I think he's a dickbag, but he's a smart dickbag.
