its been pretty hot the last 20 years.
They don't even have to recruit the highest caliber players. There are plenty of players that can play that are never seen simply because they do not put in the time. You think Brady & Co ever watched a Grace King game to see Danny Granger play, or watch Bo McCaleb play? Talk about 2 huge misses that no one wanted because no one saw them play. Ignored by their home state school when you know they are in the area to watch other kids
Lest we forget Shan Foster and Brady's complete botching of his recruitment. The list, honestly, could go on and on...

I'm not saying that LSU doesn't have fault in all this. I'm just talking now and in the future.
I don't see the talent this year as in previous years. But there's always an upcoming star.
As far as Shaq, I'd bet most kids in the city have no clue he even went to LSU way back when. Ideally, one or two home games in the Arena, Shaq has a small event in conjunction with the games, bring the younger kids to the game, just re-introduce the city to LSU basketball. Have the local AAU coaches rub shoulders with the big guy.
We just need to build a solid relationship with these kids, and it won't hurt for football either... maybe hire a local AAU or HS coach as one of TJ's assistants. Or Frank Wilson LOL...

For the 250th godddamn time this is pure bunk.
LSU had three scholarshiops in 2004 and tehy signed Glen Big Baby Davis, Tyrus Thomas, and Garret Temple. Two years later all three started on a Final Four team. If Shan Foster had been signed it is very doubtful they make the Final Four as the three signees played pivotal roles on the team. Davis started on two SEC West champions and Temple started on two SEC title teams.
Did Shan Foster lead Vanderbilt to even an Eastern Division title? He was a great player at Vandy but you clearly only want to bash Brady and you have faile miserably.
