Good, couldn't have happened to a better person.
Hope he crashes and burns, something needs to humble him!

You can't coach size, and he has it. He was also physically much bigger than his competition. While that is not unusual for D-1 prospects, it was a bit unusual that he seemed to rarely dominate much lesser competition. The knock on him is that he was lazy. "Give a shite" is not always something that can be fixed and is something you MUST have to play at a high level.
LSU desperately wanted him because (1) O didn't want to lose the perception battle by losing another big LA recruit to Alabama and (2) LSU needed some bodies along the DL. But this could, emphasis COULD be one of those thank God for unanswered prayers situations in that Ika looks like he could quickly develop into a dominant player. Certainly motor and desire don't seem to be an issue. Kind of like the anger of missing out on Hootie Jones only to get Jamal Adams in his place. One is ranked the 37th best player in the NFL. The other isn't even on an NFL team

It’s all good Bama only signed Ish so they could get their hands on Rod the Bod anyway.

So we can say “See, we didn’t want or need him anyway.”
I personally never say that. But in his case, he would not be helping us.
Hes a kid. Hopefully hell get Saban and co on his arse and respond correctly.
There have been and this is a sign that he needs to get his head straight.
His one knock thru all of this was his taking plays off/being lazy.

Also in need of better physical preparation is fellow freshmen Byron Young. Not as much as Sopsher, but Young has had to miss reps from being physically overstressed. Young is listed at a svelte 295 pounds.
Also out of shape is former LSU recruit Byron Young

I want dlinemen who has a motor and gets after it. I want no part of lazy.

Was there ever a chance this wouldn’t happen wherever he went. I’m on record he never contributes to any college team.

The same was said about DJ Fluker and Cody. They both had great college careers and were drafted in the NFL.

This is the least surprising news of the day. He thinks it will all be handed it to him, and I'm sure that's what they sold to him as well. He doesnt have the drive to become great, he'll spend a few years there as a backup who rarely plays then probably transfer to a nobody school.
Meanwhile the nose tackle we got instead is competing for and likely winning the starting spot

How did he get five stars in the first place?
He's immensely talented and does well when motivated. He played our 5 star OG Kardell Thomas pretty even when they matched up.
I do get a little guilty pleasure out of hearing he's out of shape after him playing us in recruiting, but I wouldn't gloat too much. We've had the same issue with Shelvin and now he's primed for a good season and even Kardell has had some weight issues, but appears to be getting back in shape.
