RedZone Posted July 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Just now, RedZone said: It really doesn't matter. I just want him at LSU and his family is here in NOLA/Louisiana which is a tool. They want him here. Why is this so tough? Despite two 247 recruiting experts claiming Texas A&M are the frontrunner / "confidence pick", the joys of relocating back to the Perkins' first home, Louisiana, may have more magnetism than some would expect.....home is home, although Texas has been a new fortified home. Everything seems to be up in the air with a slight Tigers lean (follow the actions, I see more action and movement in June toward Baton Rouge than I do College Station), and though the process is a long and winding road to February's National Signing Day, the Tigers may just be the team to beat if you want to sign the best LB of the 2022 class. and, that's it! Jesus Christ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Delpit was one recently....LSU great and 2nd Round NFL selection. I'm just hoping there is still Louisiana blood in Perkins and as long as his family is here it probably is at the end of the day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Delpit Born in New Orleans, Delpit and his family were displaced after Hurricane Katrina and eventually settled in Houston, Texas. Delpit attended St. Thomas High School for two years before transferring to Lamar High School as a junior. For his senior season, he transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, where he was teammates with Dylan Moses. As a senior he had 47 tackles and five interceptions. He committed to Louisiana State University (LSU) to play college football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dart Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 1 hour ago, Gametyme said: I think you guys are missing the bigger picture here. This was a natural disaster that ripped families apart. I lived through this being close to the Louisiana border. It was a wild time. Houston got a huge influx of people from Katrina and Rita evacuations. As did other parts of Texas. I have a buddy that's from NOLA and I asked him why of all places did you come to Lufkin. His response "It was the first place we stopped". Houston's crime rate doubled after the Katrina evacuees arrived. Coincidence? I think not. The only good thing that ever came out of Louisiana was the Cajun Navy. Those are good dudes. But, they go home when their work is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Houston Chronicle also said Joe Biden was the right choice for President, and Sylvester Turner was the right choice for mayor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty4024 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Not the first time this has happened... Who remember the RB Pearland had (Garrison) when they upset Trinity in 2010? He was a NOLA transplant that ended up going to college at West Virginia. Anyways... Didn't Perkins have an Aunt or somebody near Baton Rouge anyways?
