Bradford should have no affect on RR decision Bradford is most likely gone after next year, barring some injury or bad season.. Jefferson looks like the QB for the next 3 years..and with Shep in the MIx, LSU QB situation to me looks more promising that does OU's (long term)
Bigblog, you spoke to his Dad tonight? Wow! If true... You got my attention if your that close Please keep us posted.. What is the friction over, and is the family going to contact LSU about it, since LSU coaches can not?
:geaux: Protect him from what? Playing for a coach (Miles) who really cares about his players? Sounds more like Daddy likes OU and feels like Reuben ought to like it too because he does. :LSU231:
No...maybe he feels he genuinely was lied to. Wouldn't you feel the need to protect your son and try to convince him to play for someone else? I surely wouldn't want my son playing for a bunch of lying coaches. I just find it amazing how people on these message boards turn on his dad, making comments about their beloved LSU. You don't think they lie sometimes? Hell, even if it wasn't intended, miscommunication happens you know. But no, right off the bat its a cop-out for RR's family, simply because beloved LSU could never do something like that, right? The point is, from what I read, the family doesn't feel they've been lied to but RR's dad does. So until they calm that storm, its going to be a long day tomorrow.
Bigblog, has Emmitt said anything positive about LSU in your visits with him? What is the friction about? Who said what and when? Is it being ironed out? BLEM4LSU posted something pretty positive about 2 hours ago...saying Reuben doesn't feel lied too and welcomes competition.. I am sure OU and Bama were or are big players.. No LSU fans I know have assumed anything...but as we got closer, everyone in the country seemed to think he was LSU bound.. The Mods are saying Reuben wants LSU, but....Dad has an issue? Ok, can that be resolved so everyone feels great about this decision? Does Emmitt like Miles?
I can't see a player changing his mind 2 hours before its time to announce. I think Kelly has made up his mind, no matter what else happens. Lots of signs point to LSU. LSU, from I gather, is likely to get Benton, Randle and Kelly tomorrow. But then he announces at 10 AM, so that is problematic for him. Now will Bell decommit? That's a another story.
I agree mostly, but you don't air "They basically lied to my son" on the radio if it isn't 100% correct and you have confirmed it..and even then you don't air somthing like that the day before NSD.. Pick up the phone and talk to the HC directly.. As I stated earlier... I trust Miles over Nick or Stoops any day of the week Do coaches lie or stretch the truth because this is a dirty business, sure they do, but I am confident Les is the lesser of evil here.. Give Les a chance to clean it up, and I think that will happen in the end
Who announces at 10? I think with Bell moving back to 2 he's probably going elsewhere especially if the others chose LSU but could you blame him and would it even be surprising at all
OMG, the thought of spending even 5 minutes in Norman, OK makes me upchuck a little. I don't know how those coaches can swing Out of state kids, they must have some pretty fine girls, i mean good gifts for recruits, i mean greatest coaches on earth. Aww hell, Must be that cute covered wagon.
