Re: Craig Loston Again so called silent commits now make sense because you want a big name to announce at one of these televised games to get LSU free publicity. I'm beginning to think Loston is one of those guys. On a side note, it hasn't helped Notre Dame who typically has a ton of guys playing in these games.:grin:
Re: Craig Loston Dandy Don wrote this today about Loston: I have received several emails lately concerning Craig Loston who I have listed as an LSU commitment, as does ESPN and other recruiting services. Rivals and Scout do not list Loston as an LSU commitment and I am asked several times each day why I show him as a commitment when others do not. After ESPN listed Loston as a commitment I received an email from a person, not a student, who is with Loston each day of the week. This email confirmed that Loston was committed to LSU and the sender told me he would let me know if anything changes. According to what I was told over the weekend, Loston will be a Tiger in four weeks. http://www.dandydon.com/
Re: Craig Loston Grades have been brought up concerning Loston, but from all appearances he should be fine. No worries.
Re: Craig Loston A Texas recruiting analyst at an awards banquet in Houston referred to Loston as an LSU commitment on 2 separate occasions. Miles was there tonight. Loston gave Miles a big hug after the banquet was over. :thumb::miles:
Re: Craig Loston The banquet nugget was reported by a staff writer for scout. The grades comment comes from a poster on scout/rivals. Take your pick.
Re: Craig Loston Actually the grades thing was posted by bhelm on here, or at least that's where I remember getting that info from.
Re: Craig Loston FWIW, Athlon lists Loston as a LSU commit. They compile a top 100 based on 6 different recruiting services. They list Loston as 13th best high school prospect. #3 Shepard #6 Randle #13 Loston #16 Davenport #31 Debose #54 Ford #82 Jackson (not updated since he moved up on rivals)
Re: Craig Loston Loston finally spoke out. Says he always wanted to play in the SEC. Distance is a major factor (meaning longer distance than Baton Rouge). Close relationship with Coach Porter has been huge. Will announce at the UA game in Orlando.
