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

A buddy told me this at work today and I looked at his Rivals page, sure enough it shows he didn't have an offer. Surprising considering he is from LA. What happened?

If true I wonder if it had something to do with LSU's running back dept. LSU usually go pretty deep with RB's.

He didn't have the grades to get into LSU, but Bama cheated and got him eligible.

He wanted to win rings

By taking correspondence courses from LSU. The REC knows no bounds.

Long story short his grades were crap and no one on the LSU side thought he had a chance at qualifying, plus there was a legal issue (statutory rape iirc). LSU already had Michael Ford locked up who was considered to be the best back in the state that year. Bama somehow got Lacy in school, kudos to them.

Lacey took some qualification courses over the summer under the supervision of Nick's buddy and one of Louisiana's most sleazy high school football coaches who is a professional at getting kids to qualify. It was quite remarkable how much ground he gained in a few short weeks.

AT LSU. Not through LSU
They were through a high school and the tests and shite were given at LSU.Posted on 1/8/13 at 11:13 pm to LSUdm21

He can barely spell Alabama. Grades were an issue and lsu didn't recruit him

Heres a link, looks so.
I'm not sure if he just wanted to go with bama from the start but he had LSU, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, & UT as his schools listed. It says his only offer was from bama though. weird.

Focus is something Lacy is going to have to do to qualify. He reports a 2.0 core GPA and an 18 ACT, which he is retaking in March. “I’m really close,” he said. “I’ve got to finish up strong. I can’t slack off at all right now. I’m close but I’m gonna be fine. I’m working real hard right now to make sure I make it.”

LSU waited and waited and waited.
Dude kept spelling his name wrong and couldn't get eligible.
He took something like 7 summer school courses to get eligible after his senior year, and Alabama signed him.
NCAA said, "7 classes in 1 month...sounds legit."

Ya think they might have stretched the rules a bit?

who gives a shite... it isn't like LSU is lacking in the RB talent department

Still remarkable they got that kid into school.

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...

How has he stayed passing in college if he is that dumb? Good lord

Lacy got in to Alabama the same that underachiever and poor angle taker Craig Loston got into LSU.
