BATON ROUGE, La. -- Ed Orgeron learned that Marvin Wilson, the nation's top uncommitted prospect, was not LSU-bound at the same time everyone else did: when Wilson announced Wednesday that he would instead sign with Florida State.
Orgeron had hoped that Wilson, ESPN’s No. 4 national prospect and top defensive tackle, would be the final piece to cap his first signing class as the Tigers’ full-time head coach. Instead, he had only 20 minutes at the end of a long day to digest the bad news on Wilson before taking the podium to discuss his recruiting class with the media.
