We can talk about clearing house flagging all day, but LSU has enough open slots to make the gamble

But we'll take the 2nd overall player who isn't a grade risk and has played more than one year of football and be alright.


He dumb arse, read your post again. Yes played one year of football and he is # 2 rated and you really believe your guy is better? LOL

Who cares bout grades at this point? He comes, practices, conditions for a year and becomes eligible as a redshirt freshman and DOMINATES.

Your melt is really beginning to show. Do you really think he wouldn't be #1 if he had more experience and exposure to the scouts?

Alabama is straight out of luck at OT for this class. Isaiah Prince is wavering, Richmomd won't flip IMO, and CVO was the last chance at OT for 2015. On to 2016 I guess.


Pardon me if I don't feel bad for Bama fans and their recruiting classes.

Even if he spends summer and fall at a prep school, you can still back count him and have an OT with as high an upside as any player in the country.

Yep, and LSU has the room in this class to do this. IMO, he can be molded into a beast in a years time. This is a great pickup for the Tigers.

You should make sure you know what you're talking about before calling someone a dumbass.

Ivey is the #2 player overall.
Chidi is the #101 player overall

And yes. Ivey is better even if you don't look at the rankings

If he doesn't qualify, he won't be a redshirt freshman because he won't be at LSU.

Yes.

Prep schools generally are pretty insistent players return to the which places them.

Don't worry about getting him eligible, we will just send him down to John Curtis like Bama did with Eddie Lacy!

Could be another Isaiah Prince kinda think. Commit to one school close to signing day and sign with another. Got to feel like if AU or Bama really push for him then he flips.

It helps your agenda that Rivals went full retard and rated him as the 38th OT. We all knows that's a load of shite.

I don't know if the NCAA will look to hard at this one. I mean we never have clearinghouse issues at LSU with guys that played in south FLorida.

Big get but we have to get him in this summer even if he isn't cleared by the clearing house. It's all transcripts which doesn't mean he doesn't have grades just means a big mess from all the transferring. He can do just like Travonte Valentine did, enroll, practice and then clear late in the year. Would Use his redshirt but he needs that anyway. If we don't get him in then this means nothing.

As for the Bama fans and their sadness of missing on a LT, sorry for no pity but you'll have a possible LT next year in Willie Allen. LSU has major work ahead to pull him and its not likely to happen. We might have a better shot with Greg Little, the TAM commit.

no, this one went in LSU's favor so the rantards don't care about Iphones.

Plus, we all know that blackberrys are where it's at.
