Look I barely post on here but I know Debose is still talking to LSU coaches. Apparently Debose was offered more play time at Florida but he's still interested in LSU. I can't really give much more detail than that but I know that LSU coaches have been in touch with him since the UA game.

I really can't give details about who, but I'm in contact with some of the LSU coaching staff. Just know he hasn't ruled out LSU.

I think he's still giving LSU consideration but despite his close relationship with the LSU staff I don't think Debose to LSU on NSD is a realistic possibility at this point.

I agree with you, I was just pointing out that LSU and Debose were still in touch and that Florida is not a definite...despite the UA game announcement

If debose doesn't give in then I would be mad, poor shep had done everything and he would have done it for nothing.

So you are saying he only became friends with Debose to get him to LSU? That's nice... It is also ridiculous to think he is owed something.


As for him switching... I just don't see it.
quote:

But for Debose, who also wears jersey No. 1, watching Harvin and the Florida offense a few times this season made the decision a little easier to make. "The way (Florida) gets receivers the ball, it seemed like it was a perfect fit for me," he said. "I really enjoy their spread offense and I feel like I can help them out a lot." Many thought that Debose was wrestling between Florida and LSU, but when it came time to choose a hat on Sunday, he quickly eliminated the Tigers, saying that he was definitely staying in Florida. Despite taking several trips to Baton Rouge to tour the campus, he decided in the end that it would be better to stay close to home. "It was one of the hardest decisions in my life, but I had to do what's best for me and I made the decision for myself," he said. "I really wanted my family to be able to come to every one of my games. It came down to what was best for me between Florida and LSU, and that was Florida."

Hey Debose,
WE travel to see our son play-
Signed Ryan Baker's family.

Cool family especially to tailgate with.

Best of luck to Debose at UF. He'll need it with Demps and Rainey trying to be "the next Harvin." Got to give UF credit- tell all these prospects "we see you as the next Percy Harvin." It's worked for two straight years.

Was from a newspaper. His reaction to a reporter after the game.

I don't think they really qualify as playing for Harvin's spot. They are both running backs, and I don't see them taking too many catches anytime soon.
