This guy shot up so fast I would now be shocked if he stays with us. I will admit though I was hopeful. I thought maybe being from Ruston his dream was to one day play football at Tech where all of his family and friends could watch him be great in person each week just like it has been his whole life.
One thing Skip seems to be good at is not burning any bridges. A guy like this may opt for the big time but regret it later and want to come home. So we may lose him initially but get him back later.

Most of these kids are used to being the team stud, and it can be a harsh dose of reality when they get to a place like LSU and see the other talent on hand.
