re: LSU is a big time program now. We recruit nationally.

two 5 star kids to a conference rival team is what happened that is a tough pill to swallow no matter how you look at it

Meh, I'd say we lost 1 5*. CRob is not replaceable. Hootie signing with Bama sucked but he's being replaced by someone arguably better. And there's no guarantee we would've been in as good a position to pick up Adams (assuming our lead with him holds) if we sign Hootie.

Time is a finite resource. We can't get everyone we're in the running for, even if they're in our home state. No major winning program bats 1.000 in their home state.

Spending more time recruiting one kid invariably means there's less time to spend with another recruit.
