Same thing happened with Justin Hunter after DJ McCarthy left. LSU has a real problem in recruiting in my estimation. I couldn't get anyone to call/connect with Justin for 3 weeks. And you know the rest of the story.


I have heard coach Mac continued to recruit Justin after he was taken off the road and out off the job at LSU. Just recruited him to go to another school.

There was good reason LSU backed off of Justin Hunter, Mike Davis (though Davis was really just a situation of Tejas calling him to come home as that's where he always wanted to go), Aikeem Hicks, & DeAngelo Benton. They all had one thing in common:

DJ McCarthy.

You may wanna stop and think about the context of the situation LSU was faced with at that point.

I also heard DJ kept right on calling ole Justin, even after being 86'd from the staff.

Well, I live in Virginia Beach and still talk w/Justin and his Uncle, and DJ for that matter. LSU dropped the ball on this one. DJ was trying to still help LSU even after he was off the staff, not the other way around. DJ was telling Uncle Mike that Justin should stay with his LSU commitment.

Tennessee flies in Dooley AND the track coach AND the position coach and steals him away at the last minute. Justin will be in the Olympics one day and I couldn't even get the LSU track coach to call him. Total BS recruiting effort!!!
