I'm going off of what people have been saying. He enjoyed his stop there on the way to the Opening. But like Michigan, distance is going to be too much of a factor. I think it'll be interesting to see if he really does take the OV's he says he plans on taking. The only time he's really left the south was to go to the Opening. He recently canceled a visit to Michigan for this very reason.

Would have to disagree there, lsu hasn't had a first round back since what, addai?

---

True. But I was talking more about LSU's draft history in general. Other than Hill now, we really haven't had a huge talent that broke away from the pack in recent years.

just like Burton Burns

Pretty much a wash between the two. Have to agree there. Will come down to who Leonard has a better personal relationship with, or more accurately, his dad.

I'll give you that, but Jameis Winston spent more time in tuscaloosa than Tallahassee...that's not always a tell as much as a convenience

---

Ah, I remember Jaboo. Could of sworn he was going to LSU for a period of time during his recruitment.

quote:

Not a flame, but today Alabama's are better and it's not debatable

---

That's what having Saban and a hungry booster base will do for you. Same exact thing happened when he came to LSU. But LSU's facilities are still top of the line.

quote:

---

Good grief, the dude hasn't called a single play at lsu yet

---

Just going off of his pedigree, you have to think he'll be an improvement over what we've had recently.

quote:

---

I don't know why unless they're desperate to get leonard, at this point Lanard isn't an upper echelon SEC caliber player

---

I think he'll end up getting his offer during next summer or maybe this fall. He'll end up at DB.

quote:

No debating that, but to play devil's advocate here kids of every shape and size leave the nest for college.

---

True, but Leonard loves Louisiana and New Orleans. I'm sure Leonard would like to be able to take a short drive down to NO to visit his friends and family. Also, Leonard has said being near and directly involved in his brother's life is very important to him.

Deep down most of you know that Alabama is a threat or else you wouldn't bother with threads like these. The more "LSU lock" is repeated by the masses the better it makes the masses feel.

---

They're a threat no doubt. Maybe 10-15% though along with USC. And I could say the same for every fanbase. We like to be told what we want to hear.

Wrong and wrong

Falkins didn't have LSU offer so you didn't pull him LSU.

Try again

Are you telling me that Landon Collins isn't from New Orleans or that he didn't have an lsu offer?

Eh, technically he was from Dutchtown when y'all recruited him. If he would have played ball in NOLA he would have been much harder to pull for y'all.

ETA: And I think as Leonard gets closer to his decision date it'll be more of a two horse race between LSU and Bama due to distance.

LC in not a NOLA boy

So, just so i'm clear...the countless times i've read about an lsu recruit displaced by katrina living in texas, or arkansas, or mississippi, their name is never mentioned without saying "plus he's from new orleans"

Which is right? Landon Collins is from New Orleans pal

Okay, so 1? Congrats on the black sheep

You asked the question and then get mad at the answer......you're the angriest.
