Has he been to LSU often?


I can't say exactly, but I feel like he has atleast been on campus three times? So many peeps say he may choose OM to be closer to home....but, they forget BR is just as far from Clinton as OM. Its rather he wants to play for his home state. I think his heart is telling him to go to OM but his head is telling him to go to LSU. Should be interesting to see how this unfolds.

OM Pros:

Proximity to home
Home state allure (might sound strange to idiots on a message board but it means a lot to HS kids)
Mom likes Freeze and RB coach Derrick Nix (probably best and longest tenured relationship)
Feature back Day 1

LSU Pros:

Program prestige
RB pipeline
Coach O relationship is good
Proximity to home about even w/ OM
Can platoon with Guice next year and be feature back in 2018

FSU Pros:

Program prestige
RB pipeline
Cook going pro
Prostyle offense with pass catching RBs
Jimbo inhome left

At the end of the day recruiting is about relationships. OM people believe he'd be committed to OM without the NCAA investigation. It's clear that when it comes down to relationships (included the most important one other the kid itself, his mom), OM seems to be the winner.

If it were me and had no biases, I'd pick LSU (no NCAA shite, RB tradition, close to home). I still think he ends up signing with OM.
