re: If anything, yesterday should prove that LSU does not "recruit itself"

I find it interesting that the parents love LSU and the prospects aren't impressed by us [Tony Brown & Willis are perfect examples]

Meh, I love my parents, but we've got some things with which we completely disagree. It would be dumb to think the same thing isn't true with alot of these kids.

These kids go to schools for a plethora of different reasons, not all of which are directly related to the teams success on the field. Some are committed to the school, some are enamored with a particular coach or the staff, and some go for family and/or personal reasons. I'm of the opinion that most of recruiting is tied to variables that are, by and large, outside the control of the staff.
