Need proof that message board/media unsubstantiated rumor affects recruits decisions? Look no further than this article... Torshiro Davis chooses Texas - CBSSports.com
I am guessing that it is going to be shown to future recruits and who wants to come to LSU if are players are unhappy. Everyone can read what this man has written.
I read the article .... no reference at all to message boards. the post BCSC articles regarding LSU player comments were widely distributed on a National level and their sources weren't message boards. I suspect you can thank opposing coaches for making certain those articles were highlighted for any particular recruit. Besides, any recruit that believes what they read on an anonymous message forum likely wouldn't meet the entrance requirement minimums at LSU
Unsavory recruiters get their info where? What players are unhappy at LSU? Where does he get this information? Kids are media/tech savvy.
I don't see anything in that story about rumors. It's a statement about what on-the-record, public quotes by players do to affect recruits' decisions. The responsibility for that doesn't lie with the media or the fans.

If the players in Texas are "happy" with what has happened to that program... well. I would rather play for a team that went 13-1 and understood the performance in that one loss is unacceptable and are "unhappy" with that loss as opposed to playing for a team that is happy with being mediocre.
My Bad 2.5 Decades Woodlawn has sucked for years. Woodlawn has not been good since the 70's and 80's and it is the union street Hood that makes it so.....all the area these kids come from is exceptionally depressed....Dont act like its not...that school is a dump.....
What stunk doesnt want you to know is that loyalty and honesty are not traits the kids that attend the dregs of woodlawn high are familiar with....it is what it is....
