All the reports about Gilmore's recruiting make it sound like the Tigers have a great chance to land him, but I am always cautious about the out of state recruits. As Chinese stated, LSU does not usually get an out of state commit very early in the process, so we'll see.

This is partly based on the fact that the Tigers are in the running for the likes of RN and Gilmore, plus the fact that the group of LA seniors this fall is considered much stronger than last season's.

Sam M is a huge play on why I think we land him.

I'm not sure if they communicate at all. I did see where RN retweeted a tweet that his brother tweeted to Greg Gilmore saying that him & his baby brother need to be on the same dline & they could make it happen. I'm pretty sure he was probably talking about Ole Miss though.
That sounds really confusing, huh? I probably didn't help answer your question at all. Bottom line is, I'm not sure if they do talk or not.

That remains to be seen, it could be but to early right now

Not seeing the correlation between Richt and Muschamp. Completely different styles of coaching and demeanors. Also no way UF allows Muschamp the time that Richt has gotten at UGA. He'd have been fired already. UF has a greater desire to win than UGA although UGA people would never admit it.

Richt gets bonus points for being a good guy and representing the university well. You're right that Muschamp (and a lot of other coaches) would have been fired from UGA.

Besides the last football coach, which coach did not represent the university well, yes you can say the 80s with the ncaa throwing the hammer at us. But OBC was loved by us and hated by the rivals

I always loved Spurrier, still do. And we were privy to some serious beatdowns.

I am a LSU grad and support LSU. some of you guys on this board (like every other school's board) are being giant homers. all I'm saying is that as an example if a school like ohio state has several quality oos commits and is in the state of ohio (which usually has more talent than la.) then why shouldn't we expect LSU to have a couple of oos commits.
LSU is 23-3 over the last 2 years which is probably the best record in BCS. we should have a couple of oos QUALITY commits. WE ARE AN ELITE TEAM. not a negative but an OBJECTIVE view.

Completly ignoring this huh?
quote:
Last year Avery Johnson(a legacy) was the only OOS recruit LSU had before July. 2012 commits (Scout) In the 2010 class Trevon Randle was the only OOS recruit LSU had before July. 2010 Scout In the 2008 class Kellen Theriot was the only OOS recruit LSU had before June. 2008 Scout In 2007 Steven Ridley (everyone else offered at LB) was the only OOS recruit LSU had befoe May 31st. 2007 Scout Most of this class will be from Louisiana. The quarterbacks are waiting for the guys ahead of them to commit. Most of the other OOS guys are national recruits that will probably be late to commit.
And wait were being homers for saying is OK not to lock up an OOS in APRIL but youre not a homer because you think we should have signed a ton of elite OOS talent in freakin APRIL?!! Makes sense
Also you said it yourself, we are 23-3 the past 2 seasons and over those 2 seasons we havent had many early OOS commits, so obviously were going to be fine. Have a nice day

Miles doesn't recruit the same way that CUM does. Miles didn't take Michael Patterson's commitment before his parents had visited LSU. Do you think CUM would do that.
I know we had drama late in he game in the 2012 recruiting class. I think one of the reasons we don't have more of that is the way our coaches go about recruiting. They aren't lazy like Mac Brown was a few years (and assistant coaches) back, but the staff does a good job of making sure the kids want to come.
We all wish we could get more OOS kids earlier but we really never have and I doubt it will change anytime soon.
I never questioned your being an LSU fan. I could tell by the way you worded your posts, that you were just expecting some good commits soon. Maybe Gilmore will be the guy to start that. I hope so.
I don't like hearing him talking about his commitment being tied to RN though. That puts too many eggs in one basket that we may not get.

if gilmore is/becomes tied to RN then that sounds like clemson is doing work with both guys.

Hollins, i don't think anyone is trying to question your LSU fandom, more trying to explain how our recruiting can't be judged the same as others in regards to OOS recruits. We don't rely heavily on OOS kids and therefore don't push for them like other schools do. Also our staff has a different method of recruiting and "pushing" for commits. A lot of staffs ultimatum kids into committing and that's why those kids continue to look around the whole cycle.
Hollins is actually correct about Ohio having more talent than LA. It has more people and is the #5 state in the country in pure numbers. Sometimes #4 ahead of GA. Meyer isn't pounding Ohio like Tressel and others did. He only really went after the top guys and heavy OSU leans. Michigan is killing that state again. Also quite a few of their OOS commits are kids with major ties to the program. That makes a big difference. Most of our OOS kids have no previous ties to LSU.

I don't really understand what you guys are trying saying. are you trying to say that we really don't want MANY, HIGH QUALITY OOS guys.
not trying to start an argument but the staff would be giddy if we could land prevot or gilmore next week. all I'm saying is that it is not for lack of trying hard that we have not landed any QUALITY oos guys, we just have not done it YET and others have.
