Landon Collins is a certified manchild at the safety position. Next Eric Berry, IMO.
His father is pro-Bama, which may have influenced his decision. What also appears to have influenced decision is his girlfriend, who is headed to Tuscaloosa herself. She was gloating about all of this on Twitter, apparently.
And this being the $EC, there's probably other shadiness around it. There's a lot of pressure on Louisana kids (especially in the southern part of the state- Shreveport somewhat less so) to stay in-state (and other monkey business), and when it doesn't happen, you have to wonder what kinds of influence pushed the kid across state lines. In fact, the last 5*-caliber Louisiana prospect who didn't end up at LSU, Janzen Jackson, ended up at Tennessee when Lane Kiffin and Ed Orgeron were there, which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about how dirty that recruitment process probably was.
Still, let the kid have his moment in the sun, for God's sake. Weak sauce on mom's part.
