[QUOTE="COJacket, post: 149468, member: 67"] [B]Bits of a Bleacher Report story:[/B] “Landon Collins’ mother, April Justin, became a polarizing figure three years ago for her blunt disagreement with her son’s nationally televised decision to hop across LSU’s state borders to play for rival Alabama. At LSU, I was convinced he could play immediately, wind up a Freshman All-American and build the momentum to be a first-rounder after his junior season. At ‘Bama, I was worried he’d be buried on Nick Saban’s notoriously deep depth charts. Miami was a long shot, but at least he had a better chance of playing as a freshman. He used to fawn over Sean Taylor highlights on Youtube before every game in high school (and ended up wearing Taylor’s number, No. 26, at Alabama), [B][I][U]but Miami was ACC, and the SEC was where he belonged. The culture, the physicality and the competition would better prepare him for the next level.[/U][/I][/B] Alabama won a national championship in Landon’s freshman year, but he played special teams and backed up a junior on defense. If the starter (Vinnie Sunsheri) hadn’t suffered a season-ending knee injury in Landon’s sophomore season, he would have sat that season as well, and who knows if he’d be entering the draft this year. Landon’s recruiting process compelled me to educate myself on recruiting for Gerald and advise other parents about how to navigate the recruitment of student-athletes through my Momma Knows Best Recruiting Summits.” [I]Two comments: love the continuing myth about the SEC vs ACC; and rumor has it that Momma Truitt was the first to join the Recruiting Summits.[/I] [/QUOTE]
