This is the first time I heard that Chris Jackson's parents did not sign off on his LOI so he just enrolled at LSU in the fall. While I am of an age that I think that children should listen to their parents (and then make their own decisions), I also believe one should never let it get to that point - where the parent refuses to sign and the kid goes to a college over this refusal. That is really sad. While I guess this is old news, does anyone know what caused the Chris Jackson problem?
According to the Tampa Tribune, RJF should make his decision by Friday. It appears that the dilemna is the same that he wants to play for LSU but his parents want USF. See the url below for the full story. The HS Coach appears mystified by the process as well. http://bulls.tbo.com/bulls/MGBTF04LX4E.html ldskule: :crystal: ldskule: Geaux Tigers :911:
Chris Jackson's mother was the problem. She basically saw her son as a ticket out of her minimum wage existence, and tried to auction him off to the highest bidder.
Rickey appears to be waiting out his parents until they finally give in to his playing at LSU. Let's hope the kid has enough fortitude to win out.
And I'm betting that the track porogram at LSU put us over the top again, maybe he convinced his poppa that going to LSU would give hima great chance to represent Haiti in the Olympics or something. Just a thought.
Jean-Francois is ready to roll It was close to two weeks after signing day with Rivals100 defensive end Ricky Jean-Francois finally was able to sign his national letter of intent with LSU and now after a lot hard work in the classroom, he will be able to join the other Tiger signees in Baton Rouge this summer. http://lsu.rivals.com
Carol City's Ricky Jean-Francois and Southwest's Missy Penna were named athletes of the year -- again:
