	If signing day was a couple of weeks ago, I think JJ would have been at Bama. Hiring Ron Cooper (no Saban, but a pretty good DB coach) from SCar probably saved us.

Sucks, but things like this happens, He has a bright future! The Bama-LSU games are probably now the 2nd most intense game of the year for us now! of course laying it all on those barners is the 1st...

The Cooper hire definitely helped, but in the end I think we were mainly fighting a playing time issue with Jackson. As much as the LSU secondary struggled last year, he's guaranteed a good bit of meaningful playing time there as a true freshman, and that's just really something we couldn't offer.

No doubt about it, though, he ought to be a very good one. I think it's a great pick-up for LSU.

That might be true, but we will see after the spring because there surely will be position changes.

Well Jackson is back from his Bama visit and talking. He says nothing has changed and he is still committed to LSU. It certainly looks like from his post visit comments that Bama is out of the running and he will sign with LSU.

Hopefully we pull GR instead, seems like a more dynamic, versatile player to me. Arenas-esque
