What exactly did the IG story insinuate?
I think it said something like “our trip today was a amazing, got to see family for the last time before they officially become family” and” history is about to be made”

I know most LSU fans interpreted as a sign of a verbal from Sarah who they were known to be visiting in home.
 
The LSU assistant coaches IG story indicted like they got a verbal commitment from Sarah during the in home visit as well. Unfortunate but seems likely at this point.

I do believe she has another official visit planned for UNC next weekend though before she makes a decision so I wouldn’t expect an announcement for a couple of weeks.
Which coach? What did they say? Link perhaps?

Have you heard anything about this? @SECbbfan24

I heard UCONN previously was her last official visit but could add another visit. Strong has scheduled some spur of the moment visits so hard to say. Won't know until after this weekend.

UNC was doing a home visit with her last week as well.
 
Isn’t it a violation for any coach or assistant to discuss recruits until they have a signed NLI in their hand?

I doubt we'll hear anything official until NLI signing, which I believe is Nov. 8-15. At this point there's no point for a recruit to announce their verbal ahead of time.

Correct. In fact, it is prohibited for any coach or school representative to publicly discuss any recruit until 1) they are signed and 2) after national signing day. A recruit is free to say whatever they want about signing, whenever they want. So if an Assistant LSU coach suggested on IG that Strong has signed, that’s an NCAA recruiting violation.

I don't have IG and didn't see the story, but this sounds like Dawn Staley's little birdie tweets or whatever they were. She wouldn't say explicitly they landed a recruit, but the tweet was code for her landing one. Messages only the fans or people who pay attention could decipher.

As long as coaches don't mention an unsigned recruit by name (on social media) they can tweet, retweet, etc. and post photos of the unsigned recruits, I believe.

That clearly never happened as recruits can't sign LOI's until sometime in November. Perhpas you meant to use the word "committed".

Their name can’t me mentioned until the SIGN. “Commitments” don’t open the door.

I just went on LSU recruiting board and one of their posters said Sarah just started following Rosario ( 2023 player from the class from LSU) last night. So that's kind of strange timing considering Sarah is on her official at UConn right now... however she started following Kelis Fisher from UConn as well who she was sitting with.

So who knows, trying to figure all this out via social media makes the ole head spin!

Means nothing. Recruits follow all players all the time. No one knows until strong officially announced.

Like she is following half the Oregon roster, their photographer, etc and I don’t think she is headed to Oregon.
 
Well I just did some more digging on the LSU Recruiting board and this is what one of their assistant coaches posted on IG after the Strong visit apparently.

"The trip we took today was amazing. We got to see family one last time before officially becoming family. History is about to be made"

I mean wow, what the heck else would they be talking about? Not getting a good feeling now!

If that’s the case, I’m not quite sure how we are to assume that a cryptic message necessarily refers to Strong committing to LSU, particularly prior to her recruiting visit to UConn, and perhaps another visit to UNC. Are we to believe that Strong is just racking up frequent flyer miles?

Pretty sure it was their Coach Redus. Nothing about his social media is subtle.

It was Coach Redus. Well after seeing that, looks we are just a courtesy visit at this point. Hope I'm wrong though!

I guess it becomes a waiting game now.

Heard Strong is having a really great time hanging out closely with Edwards
I wonder if Aaliyah gave Sarah any indication if she was coming back for another year. It could be the elephant in the room regarding their conversations, and could potentially affect Sarah's decision.
 
Their name can’t me mentioned until the SIGN. “Commitments” don’t open the door.
That's what I said in my post prior to the one you quoted. But, coaches can retweet tweets or images which include the recruits' names and likeness.
 
That post certainly looks bad, for sure. Oh well, if she doesn’t come that’s just the way it is. Still hoping though. Let’s hope we can get Big “O” and/or Sienna Betts! Those two seem to me to be the top bigs coming up! Sarah seems a classy young woman and I wish her well wherever she goes!

Weird thing is Sarah has been extremely quiet about the recruiting herself. I don't think she's been posting anything from her visits. So for their Coach to do that if she's trying to be quiet about it, seems pretty strange!

Just hope she picks the good guys, even though that post looks bad.

I also think Arianna Roberson would be a nice addition and that we have a great chance of getting her. She is tall, athletic, and seems like she will develop into a superstar player. So if Sarah is no longer an option, I at least hope we get Arianna
 
SECbbfan24....are you a LSU fan? It appears going back to your older posts you are? I know you obviously wouldn't give up sources, but how are you hearing about Strong hanging closely with Edwards or how its going in Storrs if you aren't close to the uconn program?

I'm not coming at you, just genuinely wondering :)
I saw some snaps of Strong talking with Edwards and seeming to have a good time (laughing) on IG stories but I'd have to go back to post the links.

Thats all I know. Nothing complex no inside sources. I'm sure Strong is having a ball during her visit like most recruits who go to UCONN. As well as Roberson

I'm familiar w/ LSU's program and some of their inner workings though
 
I don't know if she has committed verbally to LSU or not. I would find it strange though for someone who is 100% committed elsewhere to then go and spend First Night weekend at UConn. It would have to feel weird going through the motions like that.

Especially in a case like this where her parents are knowledgeable and she seems pretty grounded.

Who knows, we will find out soon enough I guess. That assistant coach post seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting right now though, and the circumstances of her being at UConn makes me skeptical of it.

No one knows until a player officially announces. How many times in recruiting (in any sport) has an athlete indicated they are headed or leaning towards a school and changes their mind the next week after visiting somewhere. Its all pointless until the dotted lines are signed IMO
 
m
with the transfer portal always in the background it's best to never burn bridges with other coaches during the recruiting process...........you just never know where they'll end up after a year or two.....
Hmmmm.....making a program, especially one of UConn's stature, pay for and entertain you on their biggest recruiting weekend when you have already decided to go elsewhere (if that is in fact the case) is going to potentially help you with that program down the road? Love to get Geno's thoughts on that one. Seems to me it isn't merely burning a bridge, it is setting dynamite to it.
