Well, well.. Looks like Lane's going to fit right in.. I hope "Coach" Jackson is worth it.
There are some radio reports out there on 1210 AM this morning that Tennessee has indeed hired Jackson's father.
I don't know if it will ultimately pan out to be true, but we will see soon enough. To be sure, many of the Tennessee boards still seem to be quiet on that front. At the very least, all we know at this point is that he is expected to interview with the Vols this week.
If the rumors are true, though, combined with Orgeron's Louisiana connections, this one could quickly turn into a very interesting three-team race, and the Vols may very well be the favorite.
At the very least, I'll be honest... I don't like our chances at all with Jackson if his father is on the payroll at Tennessee. It's common sense. If true, I figure it's LSU v. Tennessee for this one.

If it came down to that, I'd much rather see him at UT. LSU's collection of talent is insane, UT's is not, although it getting better daily. The last thing LSU needs is another stud DB.
If UT were to hire Lance Guidry (Janzen Jackson's dad) it could hurt LSU's chances with him much more than it would ours. There were reports than Janzen was already starting to lean toward Bama after Peveto (his recruiter) and Mallory (his future position coach) left LSU. His family moving to Knoxville would remove the in-state pressure for him to attend LSU.
So it comes down to would he attend the school where his father coaches.
If the answer is yes, he switches to UT.
If the answer is no (lots of precedents such as Mark Richt's son signing with Clemson, Urban Meyer's daughter signing with UGA) Bama could very well be his new leader.

I agree, I'd rather UT get him, just to hurt LSUs class
And I must say, if UT did hire Guidry, it wouldn't say much for his future as a recruiter if he couldn't recruit his son
i'm not too psyched at the idea of him sharing the secondary with EB or EG either...

And I agree, it seems like they'd be a formidable trio.
BUT The talent level in UT is far from what it has been, and far below what is already in Baton Rouge. I'd much rather just have him end up in Crimson and not have to worry about it!
Well, aside from the fact that someone should probably tell him we're "UA," and not "AU," I guess any uncertainty at this point is a dang good thing for both Alabama and Tennessee.
He'll probably still end up at LSU, and I'm not really expecting anything else, but hey, at least we're making them sweat it out a bit.
And honestly I wouldn't have anything against him ending up at Tennessee, really. This is another one of those things I'm not going to apologize for, but... The Third Saturday in October ought to be the one for all the marbles. Sure I hope Fulmer drops dead tomorrow, and I do loathe the Vols, but Alabama v. Tennessee was the game in this conference for more than six consecutive decades, and I really hope we get back to that. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the "rivalries" with schools like Florida, LSU, and Georgia, but it's just not the same. There's just something about looking down on that field and seeing nothing but crimson and puke orange...

I couldn't have said it better myself..... except for your adjectives!!! :biggrin:
I think Urban Meyer's daughter is going to Georgia Tech. But you make a very good point.
i was about to ask-urban's daughter at georgia? couldn't imagine that! GT ...ok. that'd be like Kristen going to Auburn.
CB Janzen Jackson is official visiting LSU the team is a soft verbal to this weekend and Alabama on Jan. 30. I think he will stay with LSU but you never know what will happen if he visits Bama.
I never had heard that Quinn Giles was a Bama CB prospect. He has never been on the Tide Fans prospect list but he is scheduled for an official visit Jan. 30. He just committed to La. Tech. but he says that he is still visiting Bama on Jan. 30. I will add him as a prospect.
LA Tech gets Commitment Number 25
Bama Mag: Official visit list (1/30)
