    If you follow recruiting you know the young man on twitter Hayes Fawcett. He makes edits for all the kids his own peers and they trust him implicitly with info on where they're going. Probably knows more than any insider or coach in the nation and he's a teenager from Louisiana.

    Follow him on Twitter anyway the rumors were out but he broke the list.

    This is much like what OU and UGA did led by Garrett Nussmeier.

    He included a photo aka one of his edits, here is the list of the 14 recruits per DD.

    Korey Foreman, 5-star DE

    *No. 1 player on our Top La Prospects

    Sage Ryan, 5-star S

    *No. 2 on our Top La Prospects (Kevin Faulk’s cousin)

    Tristan Leigh, 5-star OT
    6-5, 270, Robinson Sec (Fairfax, Vir.)

    Brian Thomas Jr, 4-star WR

    Tristan Leigh’s mom called it the Tiger Turnout. This is basically a combination of the OU and UGA summits except for the commits to those schools and no Camar Wheaton. Shows you who’s really interested but also how much weight we’re pulling nationally. This could put us back up there with UGA and USC for Foreman.

    I don't follow recruiting all that much. Since the HS games are not on TV I don't see any of them play until they get to college

    Right now it's been a dogfight between tOSU and Bama for maybe the highest rated class ever, but we're right there in striking distance for 3rd..

    Lately it's become a massive gap between the haves and have nots.. hitting almost 300 points meant an all time great class nationally in history now the top teams all go over 300. We had 298 and finished 4th last year. That is crazy.

    If you're not in the top 10 anymore it's really hard to compete. And the SEC usually has most of that to group. Last year Aggy finished I believe with their best class ever at 6th right behind us but that was only good for 4th in the SEC and 3rd in the West.

    Georgia 1, Bama 2, LSU 4, aTm 6, Aub7, Fla 9, Tenn 10

    This weekend is huge we've really been hurt by winning a title and not being allowed to have kids on campus to show off the hardware and everything else. This dead period has been brutal.

    This is a unique workaround. Some suggest cheating. But OU did it first so it was just creative because they don't cheat like the SEC does. They don't pay players, lol.

    Isn’t this a dead time for recruiting?

    Yup.

    OU had their Sooner Summit.

    Then UGA and Kirby followed suit with recruits in.

    O said he was waiting to see what the NCAA said about it.. they did nothing.

    So here we are.

    Caleb Williams supposedly setup the OU trip.

    Nussmeier is behind this trip to LSU, he's even got Byrd riding with him in the car from Texas.

    The idea is no coaches were involved.

    Wink wink.

    Don't worry Saban is getting one ready I'm sure.

    Doubt you'll hear anything until it happens.

    Kirby and UGA kept it quiet until it happened and did their best not to reveal any kids names who didn't want it known.

    LSU was quiet as well until Hayes Fawcett apparently got the go ahead by the kids he knows to put out 14 names by putting them all in an Edit.

    Lots of social media posts of the kids with their families in town makes it hard to keep it quiet anyway. This is by far the most star studded list.

    And since technically this is NOT the staff doing any of this and it's players and their families organized and led you won't hear from the program or Saban etc.

    Here is the sick edit teenager Hayes Fawcett made, he does most of the recruits commitment edits, etc that's why they trust him.

    O tried to get Tennessee recruits to USC while still employed by Tennessee

    O called both LSU & Tulane recruits to get them to flip to Ole Miss, while dead bodies were floating in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.
