He says it's simply because his parents are out of town, but who knows with these things.

LSU board is full of rumors that his good friend Goodman may not qualify and have to go JC. That may have Willis reconsidering.

About to throw up a prayer pic that he chooses LSU or sticks with UCLA, and doesn't flip to USC for one of their (many) openings.

This is insane if Goodman doesn't qualify and Willis leaves the class. Hopefully UCLA and USC can spiral quickly so that EV has an easier time seeing himself win in blue and gold.

Us & Bama seem like the safest choices at this point IMO (along with many other reasons why).

i know it isn't going to happen, but i wouldn't be mad if we made a push to land him either regardless of our DB numbers

Because you made that comment I'll post this in here. According to Sapp today, the buzz around Jalen Ramsey started during AA week. So Sapp isn't surprised by what happened today. He goes on to say that he was even told that if ND would have pursued Jalen he would've listened. Doens't matter much now but thought it was interesting that we could've at least been a potential player. We obvioulsy felt really good about Redfield and the numbers at that time it didn't make much sense.

@FOXSPORTSAZ: Priest Willis tells @InnaLazarev he will go to #UCLA but will wait to officially sign when his mom returns to town

“@EdwardLewisBSR: Priest Willis said he still hasn't been cleared by the NCAA. Said he has 21 days until he here's a definitive yes or no.”

I thought UCLA got anyone cleared they wanted with no logical explanation. I'm looking at you EV

IMO, this exactly what TJ has been talking about. This further adds to the story that they are doing anything at all cost. Some will disagree and I get that but I think this is pretty clear.

Cleared by the NCAA. The NCAA has been mighty good to the Bruins this summer.

I believe he is referring to the widely-held belief that Mora and Co. at UCLA will do anything to get their guys in, regardless of academics/honor/integrity.

Many have talked about how EV was being recruited after NSD, and I think this reference is about recruiting players with issues qualifying, considering the issues with Tahaan Goodman and now Willis.

However, Willis has been cleared, so I don't think this example applies 100% anymore in terms of UCLA's shady dealings.
