Everybody was saying A&M joining the SEC would help us in Texas. What a joke.
dude, we haven't done well in texas in about 4 years. seems like i remember one of our asst's was the recruiter there and he left. also, don't forget about the guy we hired to evaluate talent for us and how he got oregon in trouble and almost got us in trouble too. the situation is in flux in tejas and so many schools recruit here that it looks to me miles has shifted focus and is being quite successful in the southeast, sans florida.

LSU has not been as focused on recruiting in Texas as in the past for some reason. We still show an interest in WR and DB from Texas, but we have seemed to look elsewhere for other positions. Maybe Les thinks the adoption of the spread offense by Texas high schools has turned them too soft for the type of football he prefers? He has been pretty successful in getting players who play his style of football from Georgia and South Carolina the past couple of years.
As far as A&M's recruiting goes, the players they are getting are players who would have selected Oklahoma or Texas before LSU. So they are not hurting our recruiting. They have improved theirs. If they can reload their offensive line while improving their defense and depth, they will be a serious challenge for Alabama and LSU in the SEC West. It was always a possibility with the right people running their program.
