He could be doing a Jameis Winston...Taking in all the public pagentry of recruiting but mostly privately recruiting for his committed school.

I have been quoted by Ellitor the great.  Life is good?

This is not a TJY situation at all. To me that was one of the worst backstabs I can remember. That wasn't typical recruiting stuff that was a game set up by Saban just being a jerk (I could call it other stuff but I won't). GP is just enjoying the process and the attention right now. I'm guessing he will still end up at Auburn but I would not be surprised if it's not a show between now and then. He is big time and he knows it and is enjoying the attention.  I think he is a good kid. TJY was on the take.

I've got to agree with this.  Any time you have  a 5 star recruit (and he is),  that recruit will continue to get attention.  The downside of events like the opening is that it's a 2 way street. Our recruits are recruiting for us, but they are also being recruited by others.  Most likely Pickens will stick, but he will keep being recruited. And a good season will help the good guys.

This feels different than a regular situation of a kid enjoying the visits and playing the game and being positive about another school when asked to describe another school by one of their reporters. That happens all the time by multiple kids in our class each cycle. We know what that looks like. BUT He flat out said LSU is probaly still his favorite school in that article. That def does not sit well with me. That is a whole other level of playing games.

Agree. I’m sure it happens to every school and I don’t know it but, damn, we seem to get one or two of these game-players every year...and much of the time seems to not turn out well for us. Oh well, such is life recruiting with the big boys I guess. Sigh....

Hope you're right. FTR Bama privately flipped TJY in October the year he signed after he had been committed to AU for a while. He went public right after the dead period started in December.

I'm not great. I just have a loud internet mouth.

Yes I am a little worried now that I have seen the LSU quote. I said a few months back that they were a threat for him. My hope is that he will see our upside and their downside and stay with us.

At 28 or 29 years old do you have any hair left or is it all grey from the worrying about recruits. Its a long ways till signing day. :poke:just got to go with the flow and let the bag man do his/her job

Pickens is a legit 5 star recruit and is a absolutely freak of nature. I say he is well worth the worrying. He is a absolute game changer for a QB. It is crucial to hold on to him. He has been with us a year almost by now so some of us are def invested in him. As for my hair?  lol well..............  WOOOOOO!!!!!! LETS GOOOO!!!!!!

That was you?! My bad fam. I knew someone said that on here and said to watch out and be worried for LSU if they turned the heat up on him but I could not remember who. Thanks for the insight!

Speaking of the Bagman, has Danny Sheridan outed him (or her) yet?

You would hope that the loss last year and the manner in which we lost pisses Gus off enough he wants to embarrass them like he does Arky

It usually does with Gus. Circle games bring out inspired Coordinator Gus that I wish we could see every week.

Gus should eat some grass before the game.

Before every game we need to give Gus motivation to sharpen his Sharpe. For Example .. look what Washington did to your favorite restaurant.
