That was in reference to why he would even consider little ole State, keep up.

Ok, but can you argue your NFL Player spreadsheet would compare anything to LSU's?

We have 7 former RB's on active rosters atm.

Biggest selling point we have is we are near empty at the running back position. He won't be a featured back because it will be by committee, which will save his legs for a 6-10 year NFL career.

How is that a consideration for state when LSU can blow that out of the water?

Recruiting is about momentum, when an oos school loses it, they typically don’t get it back.

There’s a lot of butthurt LSU fans in here. He may pick LSU for all I know. But he no showed your elite camp and hasn’t shown much interest in LSU recently.

I mean, even if he doesn’t sign with State, I don’t expect him to sign with LSU. I think him delaying his announcement is good for UGA not necessarily LSU. He’s a high school kid, and they change their minds, but I don’t think it’s LSU

He's visited LSU a ton over the spring. It's jus tnot always known, from his own mouth (Embody article from yesterday):

Absent from his round of visits in the summer was LSU, which would be cause for concern, but Emery said he's been over to Baton Rouge multiple times and doesn't always make that public.

"I've been over there so much that it's around the corner for me," said the 6-0, 195-pound back. "By me going over there so much, a couple times I didn't put it out publicly."


Edit - And from my opinion, he could or couldn't be setting himself up just like Ja'marr Chase from last cycle, but that's a good comparison for him right now, a guy everyone had pegged as going out of state, but always kind of stuck around LSU a bit showing interest until we won him over in the end. I think they recruit Emery till the end, well, so long as Cain doesnt jump on board. They would probably take all 3, but I would doubt if we got Cain, Emery would commit to a 3 back class.

If it comes down to the better program, it's LSU all day everyday. There's just no comparison between LSUs football program and states. Even state fans know this deep down inside.

If he wants early playing time, and doesn't want to compete for his playing time with other elite rbs, then he should go to state. We don't want kids that don't have the chest to come to LSU anyway. In the end, I see him at LSU bc I believe he wants to compete for chwmpionships and state just isn't built like that. Jmho.

One of the least accurate writers from what I have seen. Typically, he makes LSU homer predictions, though.

I think right now Emery has no idea where he wants to go, hence his postponing. I think if he commits anywhere in August, he will eventually change his mind. He seems like he really doesn't know where he wants to go.

Tries to be the first person to predict things so throws things out quick. Hes usually an lsu homer tho like the other guy said

Kipp Adams (UGA 247 writer) just posted a story where Emery says that UGA and State are recruiting him the hardest. Also said that he was going to commit to MSU but he delayed it to be sure and he'll probably visit UGA with his whole family in late July. Dell McGee is going to lock this one down.

Also:

quote:

While the in-state pull to LSU is often strong with the top prospects in Louisiana, Emery says it is different with him. "I am not just that guy who 'I am from Louisiana, I am going straight to LSU.' I am just looking for the best fit."

Ranked by the industry-generated 247Sports Composite as the nation's No. 42 overall prospect, No. 2 running back, and No. 4 recruit in Louisiana, Emery said he has six schools still in the mix. "I don't really have a top, but I would say Georgia, Florida, LSU, Alabama, Tennessee....yeah Mississippi State too," Emery said. "Everybody is level now."

Yeah. I kind of feel like UGA and LSU are co leaders now.

UGA is only taking one back I would imagine so we will probably shoot for the moon for kids like this and if we miss oh well. The boot has some good ones this year so I figured LSU wouldn't take them all.
