I have been told by someone with connections to the LSU athletic department that it is likely that Bama spends more money in Louisiana recruiting than LSU spends in Louisiana. If true, that is pretty fascinating.

We know that Bama's recruiting budget is larger than LSU, by a large margin.

We can assume LSU does not have to spend quite as much per recruit in Louisiana just due to geography.

I suppose Saban views getting recruits out of Louisiana as killing to birds with one stone - hurting LSU at a minimum while helping Bama on the field. He gets more bang for his buck.

Interesting business move if true.

not that shocking. it costs alot more to send a bama assistant to Baton Rouge or New Orleans than it does to send an LSU assistant

If that is true, they got a bad return on their investment last year.

He isn't doing it to 'hurt' LSU, he is over it and everyone else should be too...he is doing it to get the best players he can at Alabama.

Now, IF he was doing it to hurt LSU that would just be stupid. TN and AU are not slowing down right now, and with FSU back on top Alabama may want to watch their own backyard a little bit....but he is here because he has A)connections B) we have great players

How expensive is it for someone in Baton Rouge to travel to NOLA? To West Monroe? To Shreveport?

How does LSUs recruiting in The state of Alabama compare to Bamas spending? We may be getting a better return on investment
