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.

I agree A&M is getting more players than usual from Texas. If you look at Texas for this recruiting cycle, it's pretty split at the top between Texas, A&M, and OU where in the past it was mostly Texas and OU. I also don't believe it hurts LSU, it hurts Texas and OU and makes A&M more competitive.

We went after some guys, we just haven't landed any this year. We got at least 3 Texas guys last year (Hunter, Mills, Thompson) and are recruiting a bunch for 2014. Maybe this year wasn't as strong at the positions we needed in Texas?
