Lyndell Wilson is the top LB in the 2016 class according to Rivals. I'm sure he's tops in other services too, and has a list of 15 "schools of interest." I know that list does not mean a whole heck of a lot, and being from Alabama, odds are he is a Bama commit, but it seems we aren't even in the game. I look at top recruits and LSU is missing from quite a few lists. Are we going after the top guys? or because of our small recruiting budget, we only go after ones we think we have the best chances to get? I do not understand the recruiting game.
Frustrating.

IF you win they will come. Kids want to go to winning programs that lead to the NFL.

Could be 1 of 2 things.

The recruit doesn't have interest

or

LSU tends to not waste time going after a guy they have no shot at.

Not sure what site you are looking at, but we are one of the leaders* for the top LB of that class.. and he isn't named Lyndell Wilson..

LSU doesn't waste time in Alabama if there is no mutual interest.

They don't have the in state overall talent to make it worth wild having to compete against Alabama and Auburn for their in state kid. Whereas we are very willing to compete against Alabama and Auburn for an out of state kid from another state..

If you notice, we lead in Alabama for the top CB from that state for that class.. because he values LSU

Keion Joyner is the top linebacker and is from NC and we lead for him.. We will battle other top schools in another state outside of Alabama, but if there is no mutual interest I don't think we will waste time there. Just MY OPINION.

LSU should offer every LB in 2016 and see what happens.
