The NCAA is just as crooked as some of these teams. Clemson is now in position (With their recent success) to keep the NCAA paid off. I think the ACC pools their money together to keep the NCAA from sniffing around. Think about what UNC did and not a thing happened.

I’m hoping it was to break up with a girlfriend in person.
I reviewed a few pieces today from LSU writers and they all seem to think he’s flipping to them. FWIW and again it’s just an opinion or opinions in this case. I do have to give Muschamp credit here. Everyone and I mean everyone recruiting against us are telling kids we don’t have the staff to even be competitive in the SEC munch less win any championships. So I am giving him props for being able to sign what he does and the fact Burch is ours until he’s not.

Like I said a while back, the NCAA likes a winner.
Okay. I understand. One point though. For purposes of a functioning society rules (like those of the NCAA) and law serve the same purpose. In this case, NCAA rules serve to regulate the behavior of member institutions and to insure there is no unfair advantage.
I agree the NCAA does a poor job of enforcement. However, people of wealth and influence are able to break the law just like some universities are able to break the rules without consequence. That is an indictment of our society and indicative of privilege.
So rather than become "rule breakers" ourselves I want to reform the NCAA to enforce the rules equally and without bias.
We've already covered this, Wiltfong based his prediction on nothing. But you will also notice he didn't put in a CB.
Gotcha. So basically, no new news then. He's committed to us but still interested in LSU.
I’d like to have Burch but he isn’t changing our fortunes. Until we make a head coaching change the results aren’t changing. It’s a shame but we have ourselves (more accurate, the board and AD) to blame for hiring a known commodity. The whole world knew but we hired him anyway. I hope Burch ends up here but it wouldn’t change anything for our program in the near future.
Dunno. He could help us have a pretty stout DL, which is half the battle in the SEC.
I would love for your last paragraph to come true. I would even be ok if the NCAA just said, "Look, weve effed up in the past decade under Mark Emmert. So we're moving on under new leadership. And from this day forward, rule breakers will be dealt with swiftly, harshly and fairly." And then back that up with immediate action.
Unfortunately, I think they've already crossed the Rubicon, so to speak.
I'd previously said his integrity was not in question here, but I'll backtrack on that a bit.
IF, by some chance, he should reverse course and sign with LSU without having given our coaches sufficient notice to make necessary adjustments, that would show a lack of integrity. He committed here and our coaches took him at his word. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume his verbal commitment stands.
I sure hope he signs with us and this visit was all for nothing. If he does switch, there are two posters in this thread who have some explaining to do, they basically are guaranteeing us that his committment stands and there is no way he switches. I hope they are right, but I suppose if they aren't you won't see them respond any further on this matter.
There is no other info out there. What we know is this:
1. He verbally committed to us
2. He has since taken an unofficial, self-paid trip to LSU and took his mom.
That's it. Nothing else is known. Zip. Zero. Nada.
Yawn
I know you like to get your info a day late or so, but there is plenty more info out there. As someone already posted, our insiders all believe he is coming here. Same with the other sites.
I would not fault him for opting not to join up with Will Muschamp and his sinking ship. However, as a local recruit, once you hold a commitment ceremony and choose your home town school it should be over. Once you post a commitment video to your home town school, that stresses the importance of commitment, it should be over. I have a hard time believing someone would do those things only to flip to another school at a signing ceremony.
South Carolina has kept it’s staff mostly together, the staff Burch committed to. They’ve been recruiting Burch for the better part of three years. LSU has a new defensive coordinator. Their defensive line coach, who may or may not continue in that role, just finished his first season as a college coach in almost two decades. Other than Ed O, none of those guys have much of a relationship with Burch.

Apparently, he's still getting visits from more college coaches Friday. I guess that's just the way it goes when a recruit doesn't just shut it down after making a verbal commit. And to punk USC after this would be an absolute public kick in the ballz, and would hurt for quite some time.
The visiting coaches info came from"the state", so I didn't want post the link.

You know I’m sure this kid stays up all night and worries himself to death about the opinions of old men on a college message board . Those who question his “Integrity” if he flips ?? If it’s Integrity you want , you’re in the wrong business . If this kid feels like LSU is a better springboard to the NFL then I sure he doesn’t give a flying F$&k about what we think about his “commitment” It is what it is . You wanna sign top recruits and compete for titles ?? Start winning . Your coach can’t win?? Fire him and hire a coach that will . AD makes a bad coaching hire again ?? Fire him and hire an AD who won’t . Ain’t rocket science yet in a century we still haven’t figured that out .
They would have to reopen the UNC investigation.
Lol. This board cracks me up. He Is a Gamecock. And the rise upward definitely will show on the field this year and years to come and finally shut the wee wee fans up. Baseball to. Ain't worried about the future of gamecock sports at all.
Salty, eh? Love you burst your bubble, there are people out there who do know things before others, why do you think there are pay sites?
Pay sites exist to fulfill the principle: a fool and his money are soon parted.
I guess you are a fool then? I believe that "silver Member" banner on your profile means you subscribe...
too bad i got a year free. check back 10/24 of this year and it will no longer say "silver"
Nobody knows what's going on. He's notoriously tight-lipped, so there is no insider information to spread around. He hasn't uttered a word to the press. No twitter. His coach hasn't said anything. Literally nobody knows but him (most likely) and perhaps a few very close family members.
In his statements right after committing, he said his mom talked into USC. The fact that he took his mom to LSU makes it pretty clear where his heart is.
Whatever the case, we desperately need to hold onto him. More for how it would look than anything. He's certainly talented enough to step in and play/contribute right away, so it would hurt from that perspective, but it would just be a dagger to have him stolen out from under us at the last minute.

He hasn't done that. The only people saying that he has is on this board.
Stop spreading the false narrative.
While he still seemed to mostly believe that Burch is staying here, Chris Clarke himself said on 107.5 the other day that the concern over this trip shouldn't just be dismissed outright.
