Fournette Visit Happening

Submitted by Marlin Jackson… on

Don't shoot the messenger, by Rivals posted some quotes from Fournette's uncle stating in no uncertain terms that he will not be in AA this weekend.  It's paywalled, so no link. 

Edit: it's happening. Sorry brah.

Can anyone think of another instance where up to the minute information is paid for but NOT used to make money? Needing up to the minute reports on recruits is sketch.

It's too bad Fournette's uncle couldn't make the trip. Hopefully he'll make it up for a game or two to see Leonard in the Big House.

Remember the good ol days when we didn't have a clue about any of this and found out about our recruiting class when we purchased our Athlons preview in July?

What the hell is with reporters these days?  Here's an idea.  Someone should call the kid or his family and ask them if he's still coming.  Is that so damn hard?

The problem is that some recruiting reporters don't double source anything. It's one thing to hear it from the player, it's something else to get it from somewhere else and report it without giving the source. Just because you have info from somewhere doesn't mean it's reportable.

Sounds to me like someone at LSU or Alabama greased this uncle's palms.  With an amount of money most assuredly more than the cost of those plane tickets.  For the purpose of keeping Leonard from making the trip.

Only time will tell if they say 'fuck it' and go anyway.

I don't know about the initial post but I downvoted you for complaining about downvoting...

listen, people downvote for a myriad of reasons, don't get caught up.

Shit, i get downvoted consistently for signing my name at the end of my post.  I don't get worked up and neither should you...

love,

I was being a creep and scoped his Twitter feed. Looks like his grandmother was sick. If this is the case and he was unable to make it because of that, I hope nothing but the best for him and his family.

i just went through both there twitter accounts and seen nothing about fournette from either one i did se the tweet from sam webb though just my two cents plus if true the visit may not be completely off he just might not be able to make it in today but the speculation is killing everyone so it would be nice to get some actual accurate info to ease everyones minds

So, to recap. We have no fucking clue what's going on; thanks for coming out tonight, everyone. See you all in the morning, when we'll likely know slightly less than we do now.
