go with the info from a former Griffin



Well I’m sure someone from Dutchtown Louisiana would have no reason to say anything negative about a kid who chose Alabama.

Yet no one can, or will, provide proof of it's existence. All we have to go on is a butthurt thread on the LSURb.

And...?


The guy who asked was TidalSurge from our board. Here's his response:

quote:

ETA: Per a very reliable LA-based insider, Ish Sopsher's grades will not be an issue. He was spot-on with Surtain's recruitment last winter and has maintained since February that Ish will be wearing Crimson. Hank also said he hasn't heard of grades being a concern. It's probably a rumor originating from LSU fans.

I vaguely recall seeing a post in the last week or so on BOL by a Bama fan to the effect that he'd seen or heard Ish has grade issues. Maybe that poster saw something on an LSU board. I've searched for that BOL post and can't find it.

So today I asked Hank and a very reliable insider (who's very well connected in LA) if there are any serious concerns about Ish's grades. According to both of them there aren't any.

That's why I think that BOL poster's erroneous info probably originated on an LSU board. I trust the info I got today much more than a random post that appears to have been based on rumor.

ETA: Credit to NFLU (below). The BOL post:

Why is the LSURb starting threads with BOL in the title?

Thanks for the link.

So one guy is the source of this stuff? With the responses to his post being this:

He’ll make the grades

There is a LONG way to go to improve if this is an actual worry.


Yet we still have a 3 page thread on it on the LSURb?

No problem man. Some of our fans are obsessed with Bama. It’s crazy. Either way, Sopsher is going to Bama.

My favorite poster was the one from 247 who said his sources told him Orgeron doesn’t want Sopsher and thinks he is a 3* talent but feels he needs to land him due to perception. Lol

Hah. Nah. I just remember I saw that post and figured that was what the LSU poster was referring to. Since Saint asked for a link to it, I figured I would bring it to the board.

Since LSU and Bama are always in recruiting battles, I tend to see what TW says and know that you guys have a few really good posters there who know their stuff.

Capstone obviously has good sources in Louisiana and should be taken seriously. I know I do.

I should have worded it better. He does like to poke fun at the good ole Tiger faithful though. I get a good laugh out of it.
