Play early. Be developed. and get in the show.
That is LSU.
How this draft turns out will determine how attractive this is to recruits.
Even Miles said that it's a big risk to go early if not drafted in the top 2 rds.

If we have a large number of early defections that are drafted low/not drafted, that's not attractive to recruits.

If 2 RBs left early b/c of a "log jam" how is that attractive to recruits who want to play early?

Now if we have 9 guys drafted in the top 2 rds, that says a lot about our talent pool.
Opposingly, what would that say about coaching that that much talent just finished the season ranked 14th? Real question...

We may have some growing pains here - but damn - we have not had any in a long time. I do not think some of you realize how rare, even for elite teams to simply replace 1st rounders with underclassman first rounders - year after year. It cant go on. For Bama either. We are right there with Bama.

Our recruiting is NOT going anywhere. We develop kids for the show better than anybody. They know it - and they will keep coming. If we have growing pains - so be it. It cant be stopped. Look at the mess Urban left Florida in - they are coming right back. Miles can maintain a program and recruiting MUCH better than Urban. One hit wonder then bravely run away.

The kids going pro is awesome - dont give the media a reason to think otherwise. The recruits love it - Believe me.
