Sounds like CJ is leaning towards LSU now. I just hope they don't screw it up.
Almost without fail, since Miles has been at LSU, he pulls a late surprise recruit. Last year, it was Copeland (and Ego Ferguson), the year before Sam Montgomery, etc. I am starting to wonder if CJ is going to be Miles surprise recruit this year. I saw that he was awarded his 5th star by rivals. If LSU lands him (and with the outside chance they land Clowney), they could end up with 4 or 5 five star recruits in this class.
I think one of the things that may bode well for LSU with CJ is the fact that LB is LSUs thinnest position. Therefore, LSU can legitimately offer early playing time, if not starting time, on a team that will begin the season in the preseason Top 5. Neither State or Ole Miss can offer that, so the balance shifts towards LSU.
