The other SEC fans on the SEC Rant tell me that it is stupid for LSU fans to care as much as we do about keeping the fence up - even though LSU's recent success started when Dinardo went hard after Louisiana players and Saban made his career off of it.

Of course they don't want LSU to care about instate talent.

Personally, I'd rather have 75% of each class be in state guys with some guys from Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida thrown in. You can't ignore a Jamal Adams or a Patrick Peterson, obviously. But, overall, I'd go with in state guys if the players were even.

I would too. Guys in-state are easier to tie down anyway. Essentially, I like how Les does it. He makes a must-have list and then works down from that, having a realistic perspective of whether he's more likely to pull a 5-star from Wisconsin or a four-star from Kentwood.

Tennessee, ALabama, Colorado, Miami, FLorida St, and probably more all won NCs with key players from Louisiana. Of course other schools don't want us to focus on keeping kids in state.

The issue is not getting all of the LA players but the ones we really need. The big melts have been when the ones we really needed went elsewhere. Sorry, but fans in that case will take it as a snub every time...
