Well, that and because he was quoted as saying "if saban leaves it definitely affects my decision". Seems to me if he was in the barn he wouldn't give two shits as to what lil nicky does.
We are good on Noil as well. He really didn't like the recruiting process and put most of it on the back burner. Only took one visit A&M and one somewhere else, think it was Bama and then came to LSU multiple times. He liked to chime in to stir the pot. Unless he decides to start going on a bunch of visits between now and All Star game I don't see him ending up anywhere else. His mom really wants him here as well and she might have had the best time out of all the recruits and family last week. Also I usually follow the rule that package deals rarely work out but in this case he and Willis are pretty much a lock to end up and the same team and rooming together. Only current common denominator in top 3 right now is LSU.
