re: So Pruitt left, and now Burton Burns is getting wooed by Jimbo?

Burns was brought in from Clemson and hadn't ever really recruited first-line La. guys. He's done well the past few seasons cherry-picking some.
Folks wanna say its the brand and not the REC, but I'm pretty sure it was a little bit of both.
My theory is that he's not really in as tightly as he'd like to be on the '14 and '15 guys and he might realize that. They've tried their damndest hiring Bradley Sylve's "stepfather" and Denzell Devall's DC at St. Augustine to help woo Fournette. But most realize now that it seems like LSU's going to reel him in.
Beyond that, he's not really "in" on the others like Willis, Noil, Quinn etc in state, and you know Little Nicky wants results or wants you gone.
I think there's also a burnout factor as well. You can only work for Nick for so long. The only guys who can stick around are the ones who couldn't get a job and hold it anywhere else. The Sunseri's & Booby Williamses of the world.

He might be about to retire in the next year or two as we to be closer to home

Devall isn't from St. Aug. He is from Bastrop High in north LA.

So much fail with this post.
Burns is the best RB coach in the country right now, and I'm pretty sure he's only asked to do a small amount of recruiting. He really only focuses on LA and has great results. LA recruiting, being associate head coach, and producing 1,000 yard 1st round picks at RB...that's all he's asked to do and does it quite well. He'll be getting a nice raise at the end of the year. Saban values him greatly, and the players love him. Your theory is ignorant, sorry brah.
