Alex Collins' mother runs off with LOI - hires attorney

[oxrageous]

Probably MOM, but I didn't see it. His mother seizes his LOI and takes off because she doesn't want him leaving home.

MOM. Check the recruiting forum. Lazy mods.

[oxrageous]

Who visits the recruiting forum? This absurd story belongs here.

[WobbleGator]

I am surprised he didn't commit to a school even further away.

Alex Collins' Mom > Josh Portis' Mom???

She broke several tackle-attempts by shunned recruiters.
A follow-up MOM-rumor has her on a Yacht moored at South Beach.
Boy this recruiting drive and NSD is a glitch.

Didn't take long for LSUFreek to get his hands on this one...

[kcgator]

His mom just made his life a living hell in the locker room.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AT THAT GIF

[Ancient Reptile]

So Alex can't catch his Mom? Clearly, we recruited the wrong Collins. How many years of eligibility does she have left?

LSUfreek has made my years on sports boards so much more entertaining. The guy never misses an opportunity to turn something funny into something hilarious.

Huh. Who knew if you are under 21 you have to have your parent or legal guardian sign the LOI as well.

I think it's ridiculous. Under 18 sure, but 21? WTF?

I really feel bad for this kid. His mom must be a complete b*tch.

I really feel bad for this kid. His mom must be a complete b*tch.

His brother, too. Here's his quote:

"I would prefer him to go to Miami, too, because it would be a better program for him, a better environment," Johnny Collins said. "He could get home faster and it's more convenient if Mom wants to go to a game -- instead of having to fly to Arkansas."

It's HIS decision, not theirs. Now the whole family is going to lean on him for their own selfish reasons. You really want to make a kid go to a school he doesn't want to go to so it's more convenient for you? This is a sad state of affairs.

[FunnGun]

Agree, I feel bad for Alex. ESPN joking about it today was bad form as well. Hopefully he can get as far away from that environment as possible.

Exactly. Even if you are married, under 21, still requires a parent/guardian.
