Sure, if we want them, then it would have been great to see them in p & g. I still wish them the best of luck. I hope they are superstars on great teams that only lose to LSU.

I enjoy watching the success Devall is having. I was proud to see a Louisiana guy, Collins, beast on st last night.

I don't really like the way some handle the recruitment, and it gives me even more respect for a guy like Tim Williams who is straight forward.

Some kids, many kids here grow up dreaming of playing at LSU. A few have enough talent to earn a scholarship somewhere. Even fewer are chosen by LSU to be offered. For every kid that chooses someone over LSU, there are dozens dreaming of that offer who never get it and have to sign elsewhere.

Let's support our own guys. That's what we do in Louisiana, right?

Now that Toshiro Davis, Jansen Jackson crap? Misleading, lying, attempting to hurt our efforts more than not choosing us? Not cool. But there are guys like Adam Taylor out there too, who may feel the same way.

what brought this up?

We have plenty of great talent that spurn their home state school also. Just how it works.

Not everyone likes louisiana and even more seem to hate br.

Im not a fool and also know other programs offer a great opportunity for a student athlete just like LSU. And prob can even offer more in location and academics.

No. Anyone who plays for anyone else can frick off (in terms of athletics) as far as I'm concerned no matter if they are from my state, my town, or my family.

Hating on a Louisiana kid who goes out of state to play college football is retarded.

Rooting for a kid who goes out of state to play college football is retarded.

No reason to support or get pissed about their decision. It's their decision and their right to decide where to play the next three to five years.

They have no obligation to attend LSU.

I don't give a rats arse about any kid who turns down LSU, and in fact, wish they would all have a shitty college football career...

A big +10000 I agree with you. Just like every stud LA recruit doesn't come to LSU it also applies that LSU doesn't offer every good player in the state. LSU needs to do what's right for them in offering players and the kids should make the best decisions for themselves.

I 100% agree with you Ed, though I'd rather see the guys that do go out of state, stay out of the SEC, especially the SEC West but most especially Alabama. I don't wish ill on guys like Devall and Collins, but I don't root for them either.

You forgot Landon Collins. He wasn't some innocent recruit. He could have did what Duval did.
