Re: Dexter Pratt My question is why did the kid think everything was ok with the clearinghouse and show up on campus? I don't know the protocol, but I would assume you get some kind of letter/correspondence from the clearinghouse telling you that you're cleared to enroll at the school you're interested in attending. LSU plays no part in that process happening. No part whatsoever. It's all up to him and his high school getting the proper information to the clearinghouse in a timely manner. So there's no such thing as an administrative official at LSU dropping the ball.
Re: Dexter Pratt from a poster on texags. have a hard time believing he came all the way to BR after being committed for months and changed his mind in the course of a couple of hours.
Re: Dexter Pratt Rivals now shows Pratt as decommitted from LSU. They list LSU and OSU as his 2 schools he is most interested in.
Re: Dexter Pratt Yeah, I was just letting you know there is some precedence to a player getting homesick and leaving quickly after he arrives on campus.
Re: Dexter Pratt Navasota running back Dexter Pratt has pulled back from his commitment to LSU and is back in the recruiting mix. Pratt's high school coach, Lee Fedora, confirmed to Robert Cessna on KZNE radio Saturday morning that Pratt is taking official visits to other schools, including one visit this weekend. ... Fedora told KBTX News 3 that the Bayou Bengals are still actively pursuing Pratt, but Fedora said Pratt indicated to him that LSU was likely out of the picture.
Re: Dexter Pratt From a poster on TOS: This is what I keep coming back to. Is losing Pratt meaningful in anything other than a recruiting rankings sort of way? Is it as important as JJ or RR? Of course not. In fact, Allen is more important to this class. So, really this little drama is about pride - about being sore that a kid may be changing his mind about his future and LSU may not be where he wants to spend it. Michael Ford seems to me to be the real deal. Scott and Williams are both back next year. Allen is a beast, and Singleton seems to be switching. And Lache Seastrunk is the next great future Tiger on the horizon. If LSU lands LS, I think it's the same as RS this year - a defining addition to the 2010 class. I hope Pratt comes back to the Tigers - but if he doesn't, it doesn't change a thing. This is an awesome class, it will get better in the next month, and LSU football has all the tools in place for another amazing run. Just have to make it happen now.
