2005
Ryan Perrilloux LSU
Al Jones Lsu
(Trindon Holliday number 22)
2006
Al Woods LSU
Charles Scott LSU
2007
Joe McKnight USC
Deangelo Benton LSU later to Auburn
2008
Michael Mauti Penn State
Chase Clement LSU
2009
Rueben Randle LSU
Chris Davenport LSU
(B. Mingo was 7 and Mo Claiborne was 17)
2010
Trovon Reed Auburn
Eric Reid LSU
(Tyrann Mathieu was 7)
2011
La'el Collins LSU
Anthony Johnson LSU
(might as well say Odell was number 9 in the state)
2012
Landon Collins Alabama
Shiro Davis Texas
(worth mentioning Travin Durall was 14 and 3*)
2013
Tre White LSU
Kendall Beckwith LSU
2014
Leonard Fournette LSU
Cam Robinshon Alabama
(we landed 5 of the top 10) (Gerald Willis was 5)
2015
Tyron Johnson LSU
Derrius Guice LSU
2016 ? Don't know how it ends up but currently 2 of the top 4 players are committed to other schools. Of course these players could end up elsewhere by signing day and may not be ranked the same.( by 247)
Ed Alexander ????
Shea Patterson Ole Miss
Just thought i'd lay out how we've done in the past since Les. Overall i think we've done solid in state. Hopefully this year we can close out nicely.

For the most part, Miles and his staff do an outstanding job of closing the state to other schools. LSU has signed 64 of 90 Louisiana top 10 prospects it has offered since 2006, the Advocate reported.

Once again, Shea Patterson is not a LA boy. He lived in Ohio til he was like 11 then moved to Texas. Moved to Shreveport in 2013. Only here for a few years.
And we have done GREAT in the state for a long time. Can't get them all, but we get most of the guys we want. And we have stolen some serious studs from OOS as well.
Plus, we have arguably the top recruiting staff in the nation now with hiring Ed O and Steele a month ago and Jeff Grimes last year. He came in with a rep of being a great OL recruiter and then goes out and signs the top OL class in the country for us his 1st full cycle in recruiting. Add Frank Wilson and Les Miles to that mix ...its gonna be hard to leave the state.

Benton commuted to LSU bud don't have the grades. The next year he commuted to LSU but still didn't have the grades. The next year LSU got Randle and Benton went to Auburn. Even then, I think he may not have actually enrolled until 2010.
Wasn't Chad Jones the top player in the state one year or maybe #2 behind Joe McKnight?

I'm not sure what ranking you are using, but I'm fairly certain Tyrann ended number 1 in the state.

While I agree that Les isn't doing badly (by any means), there is a fine line between winning and losing.
I hate bringing up bama.. but
Since 2008 Bama has lost only 4 out of the top 24 in state players.
We've lost twice as many (8 of 24) in the same amount of time with no serious in state threat.
if we had kept Cam and Collins we'd probably be 3-1 against them in the past 4 years instead of 0-4.
More importantly.. They have taken 2 of our top 24 and we've taken none of theirs.
ETA - The hiring of O and Steele may help curb this, and if so, hats off to Les and co.

2017?

Why is it that LSU is judged more than any other University on how they do in "their state"? I guess it is because they are unique in that they are the only Major University in such a talent rich football state and I get that, because you cannot say that about any other elite talented states, such as California, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi.
I would recommend that we take into consideration the players we steal from other states as well and give as uch credit for "stealing" those players as LSU gets ragged on for "losing" their instate players.
For example: If Ole Miss "stole" Patterson from LSU and Texas A&M "stole" Speedy Noil From LSU then- LSU "stole" Kevin Toliver from Flordia St.? and stole Clifton Garrett from Illinois? Did LSU steal Toby Weathersby from Texas or A&M?
At the end of the day it really doesnt matter where they got the player from so long as they have addressed their needs.

Pretty positive Mauti was not the best player in the state that year. Went to school and grew up with him. Great player but not top 2 in the state
Posted on 2/18/15 at 9:43 am to mojoey
man 2008 was a bad year. terrible team, and no talent in the state.
Chris Tolliver LSU (was ranked ahead of Mauti)
Michael Mauti PSU(dad and brother wen there, so we didn't have a chance, and only guy that amounted to anything)
Chase Clement LSU
Luther Ambrose ULM
Robby Green Bama
Jerico Nelson Arkansas

I think someone jumps Shea Patterson for the top two from the state, but he inevitably stays in the top 10.
