According to a university press release, LSU has handed over that information to the NCAA while they were on campus to interview LSU football coaches concerning their relationship with Lyles.
The release states LSU’s recruiting package contained DVDs of game footage or highlights on prospects, as well as written information on recruits
But a statement from LSU associate athletic director Herb Vincent claims “The DVDs also contain footage of one 2010-11 Texas high school prospect and one 2007-08 Kansas junior college prospect, material which LSU had not requested.”
When asked by the Shreveport Times as to why LSU received unrequested information, Vincent said he didn’t know.
LSU also received some semi-unusable information from Lyles.
“The material consists almost entirely of information pertaining to prospects that had finished junior college in 2009-10 and had already enrolled in a four-year college by the time LSU received the materials,” Vincent said. “The LSU coaching staff did not attempt to collect the correct 2010-11 typewritten data from the service because it determined the video footage was sufficient for its evaluation purposes.”
LSU’s connection with Lyles has previously been questioned when a former Texas A&M assistant said Lyles contacted him in 2007 demanding $80,000 for the talents of future LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson.
