It is disheartening to hear Chris Mitchell say LSU is behind Miami on his wish list. I am not sure of all the reasons, except to say playing at Miami has always been his dream and he likes the smaller classes there. But he has not made a final decision, and will not do so until signing day. Apparently LSU still has some work to do if we are going to land him.
I haven't seen any quotes by him saying Miami is his top choice for months. On the contrary, he has said LSU is ahead of everyone right now...the recent article done by a Miami site just said Miami was his childhood favorite and they still have a chance. What else would you expect an article written for Miami fans to say?
Again, he doesn't say Miami is in front..he says he's grew up dreaming of Miami. Gotta factor in the questions being asked and who asks them.
He was quoted as saying that LSU was not in front. While the source may be from the UM rivals site, I doubt if they would quote him saying something he did not say.
Whatever the case, it appears obvious that we're, by no means, a lock to land him and it will take some work--perhaps some serious work--to get him to committ to LSU.
