Any big surprises for your school? I'm watching Landon Collins to see if he goes with Tricky Nicky or if his mother can swing him back to the Tigers.

Landon Collins' mother will not go down without a fight.
April Justin went viral earlier this month after openly disagreeing with her son's decision to commit to Alabama instead of his home state school of LSU, telling a national television audience on ESPNU "Go Tigers. LSU No. 1" after her son had announced his intention to sign with the Crimson Tide.
Since that episode, Justin hasn't given up her fight to see her son at LSU and even told the website Momstream.com that her son chose Alabama because Nick Saban promised his girlfriend, Victoria Lowery, a job in Saban's office.
Lowery is already headed to Alabama.

Funny thing is that I'm working in Breaux Bridge right now. It's a small town of under 5000 people many of whom speak in Cajun French and they have three high school seniors going to LSU next season. Lafayette is 4 miles away from the rig and they have 1 player moving to Tiger Town. Too bad I didn't work here during the high school football season.

One of the best DB classes in the nation. Could have used some of them in the Alamo Bowl.
Also landed two solid QBs and some decent OL. Biggest disappointment was losing two blue chip Tacoma area linemen to Stanford and USC.
