    1999 Era Recruiting vs Today (Derailed Maason Smith thread)

    The player I was thinking of was Ishmael Sopsher from Amite, La. LSU was sure he was locked up, despite the smoke about Bama. It apparently got ugly after signing day for him and his family. Amite is a real LSU stronghold. Ironically, he just left Bama this year and hit the transfer...

    I have to find the kid's name - he was from a small town in La and committed to Bama. Family was harrassed etc If I remember correctly, it was two cycles ago. Kid had a public commitment with hats on the table and everything....

    Not sure the extent of his family, other than the mother. I've seen mention that she is very strong person and they are very close.

    He's made two under the radar "paid his own way" trips to UGA this fall. Haven't heard about him going anywhere else but who knows. Probably picking up some pocket change on those trips... Maybe he'll be another James Williams...

    On UGA: Smith certainly thinks Georgia would be a good fit. “The style of defense they run would definitely get me prepared for the next level after college,” Smith said. “They run a 50/50 three-man and four-man front. It sounds all good to run just a four-man front but ultimately that’s not...

    Smith took a VERY under the radar visit to UGA last weekend. It's just leaking out now. May have been with Foreman - there were "a few" big name guys there that didn't want it out. Clearly KIrby going hard after Smith. From some stuff posted on the LSU board, it seems like they feel...

    Ivins spoke to Hood recently. He's likely NOT siging in December. Says he is still solid to Michigan but wants to visit. also said Maryland and Minnesota and Miami are all still talking to him. Occasionally other schools reach out but those three are constant. Didn't give off the vibe...

    don't look now but Kirby dusted off JTDaniels right after the UF loss and it looks like he's the new starter at QB... whatever was keeping him off the field resolved itself overnight after UF... if Daniels doesn't perform the way the fan base expects, it's really going to get...

    could be. They are after Korey Foreman pretty hard, too.. They've been selling themselves as "wanting to play together".... After the rough start to this season maybe the boosters go for the house on this....

    I've been hoping for the "get together" too. James Williams would be the ideal guy to "organize" it, maybe with Taylor helping. Time is starting to run out now, though. Isn't he a December signee and EE?

    UGA with Foreman would be my gue$$ too. Even before the LSU collapse... But I will keep a shred of hope...

    LSU has been recruiting Smith since he was in 8th grade. I'd imagine there's been lots of "$upport" for the past 4 years. It's not a new thing.

    https://1045espn.com/maason-smith-talks-his-recruitment-process/ Smith gave an interview to the local ESPN station recently. He talks about his recruitment - mostly about LSU since the station is a Baton Rouge station but he also mentions Miami as one of the schools that is recruiting him the...

    Fair question. Guess we'll see what the staff does here in the next couple of months. This kid isn't committing any time soon.

    We may not get this kid but I think it says alot about what's going on behind the scenes in recruiting. We've heard very little about him in months. He says he has a good relationship with the staff -good enough we made his top 5 list. Recruiting has a different feel right now -
