    I hated Lester for a long time. Some years ago saw a tv interview with him where he admitted he was a young kid that made a huge mistake and did LSU wrong. He also shed some light on just how shady the NCAA was\is. I'm good with Lester now and his kid shouldn't shoulder the burden of his dad's mistakes. Welcome aboard Drake.

    The what looked to be his father during the announcement was actually Savion Smith's father.

    True story...I was working at the Champs Sports in Cortana Mall during Earl's recruitment and he came in the store with an adult, don't remember the relationship. He picked a pair of shoes and the adult kept pestering me for a discount. His reason?.....he was Lester Earl. Way to get him started early with that sense of entitlement.

    great read

    ...There are a lot of really great football programs out there, and I’m thankful to all of them that showed interest in me as a student-athlete. From Alabama, to Ole Miss, to Florida State and beyond, I had some amazing visits. And I considered committing to various schools, at various times, as I moved through this process — right up to the end of it. Those are all first-class institutions, and they treated me with thoughtfulness and respect.

    But on another level, of course, the decision was easy. And that’s because, in the end, LSU isn’t just the best football program for me, and it isn’t just the best school.

    It’s home...
