FWIW, I didn't start this because of Beckwith. The main battle cry of a lot of these guys that have been spelling doom for the LSU program has been Collins, Devall, Davis, and Lacy (as if LSU were recruiting him hard and he was on top of the wish list). Before that, Robinson and Reed.
Anyone else think Corey Thompson is going to be mediocre? He had probably the same amount of mop up duty/ST playing time as Collins. IF Collins is better, how much better do you feel he'll be than Thompson? Other than star rankings, did much really say that?
How many of you are excited about Danielle Hunter? Capable to replace Devall?
Crying over losing Davis is just laughable, TBH. You know, with that whole locker room N vs. S LSU civil war and all. Oh, and Alexander, Louis, and Jones. All capable, no?
I think I find myself more disappointed at times when an OOS recruit doesn't pick LSU than vice versa.

Defensive backs and WRs are no big deal, they grow on trees in the River Parishes. Its tough when the big linemen leave though because they just arent as plentiful. Greg Williams comes to mind.

it depends on who it is.
if you lose a top shelf LT like Cameron Robinson to WM, then I'll melt down, solely bc of the position and how much of a premium it is. Losing them to Bama would be pretty harsh considering that 1. they are a fierce rival, and 2. you play against this guy every single year.
Skilled positions guys, we can withstand some hits, but not too many, IMO. Not sure if we can risk the alienation of in-state talent for OOS anymore, especially with a power on each side fighting to cut into the LSU base. Guys like Fournette, Quinn, Noil, etc...those guys need to stay in state, IMO.
We say it all the time, these in-state classes will play for championships at LSU.
2011 is/was that way, and 2014 is that kind of class, IMO.
In a year where your state is projected to have so many homerun hitters (all positions across the board), you don't want to miss out on many of those.
