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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwillMac6 20,526 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went public right after the dead period started in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a long ways till signing day. just got to go with the flow and let the bag man do his/her job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
