I thought we had a great shot. LSU gets two five stars in less than a week. Bama better take notice!

Yeah his was a very Bizzarre recruitment and still might not be over didn’t have LSU in his top eight that was posted and also rumored recently to Miami who also wasnt in top 8. didn’t think it was a lock but deafinately thought it was a good chance.
The thing us ametuers never know is culture /personality fit and acedemics

I personally don't put much stock into LSU not being in the top 8. He released a top 8 back in February, and then he took visits to multiple schools in March and April including LSU. He didn't release any other top schools list after these visits to my knowledge. I don't think anyone here would find it strange at all if a recruit who hadn't visited here before didn't have us in his top schools, but ended up having us as his favorite once he did visit here. Or are our coaches the only ones in the country capable of doing this without cheating?

Don’t know either this or the Jarrett commitment sticks. Funky recruitments, both - also I’d take Trenton Simpson and/or Justin Flowe over Sampah. Good player but stiff and slow - think Tre Lamar.

Remind anyone of the Kimbeechee fiasco? Did LSU hire Hugh Freeze as a recruiter?

Nothing wrong with him. We "seem" to be FULL

Funny though,seeing guys that could be locks because we are supposedly full with recruits at LB/DL that just haven't made their decisions public yet. May just might be exciting, but will be a nail biter until decisions are made public.

LSU get another defensive commit... ok
Do they have any offensive ability (I think one WR) or do they just let OLB play as the slot receiver to make sure everyone has playing time?
Actually the real loser here is Virginia Tech. How many recent defensive talents have shunned Blacksburg of late? Shows 0% interest is Bud while the program is imploding. Sure, we nabbed Clelin but a lot of talent is leaching out of my native state...

It's tough when our best LBs aren't getting drafted and LSU's are. Our LBs are terrific in college, but I also think they're heavily dependent on getting the last minute call from Coach V.

from what i've read on Sampah
Apr 30, 2019, 3:33 PM
|

we liked him....just not enough to take a commitment from him right now. We have 1 LB spot and we are targeting two other 5* guys. Sampah would probably be a take later closer to say December if we didn't get those other guys. It sucks but we have the luxury of being picky right now. So picky that we aren't taking 5* guys bc we have 5* guys higher on our board.

Supposedly Venables thought Sampah was kind of a "buzz kill" and he wanted someone he could vibe with more.
