Scared of five-star flip, LSU fans begin to levy wild accusations at Texas A&M

Texas A&M is working with a ton of momentum right now, both on the field and off of it, thanks to an 8-0 start that includes a complete dismantling of the LSU program the Saturday before last. The Aggies took over Death Valley in the most hilarious way possible, and it led to some of the top-shelf recruits that LSU was hosting even joining in with the Aggies' celebration.

The Aggies are already working to build on that recruiting momentum, especially with the no. 1 overall recruit for this cycle, Lamar Brown, who is currently committed to the LSU Tigers. Of course, the Tigers are completely rudderless at the moment, given that their program currently appears to be led by the governor of Louisiana.

With the program and fanbase in a tailspin, LSU fans, no doubt insecure about the commitment status of their highest-rated pledge, have begun to protest on social media about completely standard recruiting practices that the Aggies have been engaging in. Some have even attempted to alert the NCAA, despite the fact that there is absolutely no violation occurring, showing just how desperate the Tigers are at the moment.

LSU fans desperate to keep Lamar Brown, creating fake drama around innocuous video from Texas A&M

The following video of Texas A&M players and coaches wishing Lamar Brown a happy birthday began to circulate the other day, here posted by someone covering LSU athletics:

The original video was posted by an A&M commit, Brandon Arrington, who has been close with Lamar throughout the recruiting process— not by any official A&M account or any account associated with a coach. It's obvious that this video was sent to Lamar, shared by him with Arrington and possibly other recruits, and Arrington (who has been working hard to recruit players to the Aggies' class) decided to post it publicly.

That was apparently lost on some LSU fans, who began to complain about coaches "publicly" naming an unsigned recruit— something that would be a violation, but not something that is occurring here!

Coaches and players are obviously allowed to speak to recruits and address them by name in private communication, which is what this video clearly originally was. If that private communication is publicized by the recipient, it does not then become the coach publicly naming the recruit!

This is just another example of how desperate the Tigers are right now as a program, which you can see in this response:

The other thing LSU fans were saying was that this was "staged," which is just about the fakest complaint of all time. If somebody's coworkers pass around a birthday card that everyone signs, no one calls that "staged," whether or not everyone knew beforehand that it was that person's birthday!

It's a happy birthday video, man. Not that deep.

They do this for lots of recruits! Here's them doing the same thing for current Aggie commit Tamarion Watkins:

Thinking is hard sometimes (apparently especially for certain sections of the LSU fanbase), but if you do it for about two seconds, it's obvious that this is a complete nothingburger as far as violations go. The reaction here is clearly due to how insecure LSU fans are about the status of Lamar's commitment and seeing the Aggies press an advantage that they currently have— in other words, normal recruiting.
