One of my fave analogie. Cobbs had his Anchorman moment in the article as well he said something like:
“things got real busy with phone calls and recruiting stuff, so I have got to realize I am kindof a big deal.”
I imagine that at some point every recruit has revealed some ego. Fun stuff.

I don’t really think its fair for people to be labeling Seastrunk a potential locker room cancer just for failing to commit early. If I were in his shoes and even assuming I had already chosen my school I would play out the recruiting process. How many chances does someone get in their life to be wooed by the top programs in the country and all the perks that includes (particularly the recruiting hostesses, especially from an 18 year old’s point of view). Its really not a tough decision in my eyes. Get to travel to Georgia and LSU and USC and all those schools and have them treat me like a king or commit somewhere early and miss out on all that? No brainer. I’m actually kind of surprised we get so many early commits as it is.

Spoken like a person who has difficulty making choices. We all have been on Bon enough to know that Mack wants the kids that “want” to be here. Team chemistry is as important as running a 4.3/40. Hell, Mack was listening to rap on his iPod in 2005. Aside from having superman as your QB, that team also had amazing relationships in the locker room. Early reports are that several players that have already committed have started friendships with one another and that can only be seen as a positive. I’m not sure if Seastrunk has a flawed character or not, but in the end is it really our call to make? Mack will make the call on this kid based on what he sees inside his character.

If he turns out to be a “cancer” Mack will put him on the bench. And Cedric benson was a total dick but he produced big time.

Fan: Be a longhorn!
LS: Maybe…maybe not…Im gods gift to football
Fan: What?! Well then forget it! We don’t want/need you anyways! (runs off and pouts)

seems like the prototypical type of back Greg Davis has been wanting. Yesterday, I watched the Rose Bowl v USC (I still need to purchase a copy of that game) on ESPN Classic, and seeing us w/ Taylor, Charles, & Selvin Young running the ball made me think about what Davis wanted out of the rb position & what I’ve heard about Seastrunk. Seems like everything Davis wants. Seems like everything the position, in that scheme, needs. Makes me want to see him in burnt orange. All that changes, though, if his head’s not on right when he steps on campus, & that goes for anybody. Having not seen these interviews, would somebody please link or at least paraphrase a little more accurately?

So there has been much ado regarding LS and his attitude. Granted, I have not seen any interview footage or heard any real verifiable account of his conduct or demeanor.

Generally, however- how many truly elite seventeen year old skill position players are old there in the world that do not generally think highly (perhaps even arrogantly) of themselves or their ability to dominate on the field?

Furthermore, how many seventeen year olds are not generally a little bit arrogant? Come on, now…

Granted, he may be a dickhead. If that’s the case, then he probably doesn’t have a place on the team. But my point is- if he’s a little cocky, then what were you expecting, exactly?
