re: Can LSU solve the riddle that is Houston Nutt?

They had a coach who wasn't a great coach but got a lot of really good recruits. They got rid of that guy and got a guy who is a pretty good coach but can't recruit worth a crap

geez.
Nutt's classes are better than any O brought. Sure Nutt has more to work with after winning seasons, but Nutt can recruit. He is a finisher. He isnt big on getting a lot of recruits early in the game, he does this every year and signs about 10 on signing day and finishing in the top 15-20. But the reason we will be down this coming year is because O couldnt recruit as well everyone thought. He would sign a lot of people early and have a top 10 ranking before the season started and then not sign anyone else and fall out of the top 25. O also didnt know how to recruit a team. He would leave several holes and not recruit a postion well for a couple years in a row. He had one class in the top 25, Nutt's already had two in three years and one class that was real close the the top 25
