re: Isaiah Buggs #1 JUCO DE top 10 (no LSU)

LSU was not one of the seven SEC teams in Isaiah Buggs' new top 10 list released Thursday. The Mississippi Gulf Coast defensive end and Ruston product, a fan of the Tigers since childhood, dropped the home-state program from his group of favorites — a change from the previous edition in February. ""Well I have gotten a relationship with these coaches on the top 10, including head coaches and position coaches," Buggs said. "Having a relationship is key ... Coaches must build a relationship something LSU has not been doing."

LSU isn't necessarily out of the mix for good, but has certainly lost some ground as other schools have appeared to Buggs to have made him more of a priority. "I haven't received a call from Coach O at LSU personally," he said, regarding Tigers recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron, when asked about the lack of recent contact from the program. "Also ever since I got to Gulf Coast, LSU didn't contact me until Auburn and Alabama offered me. I played a whole season and didn't hear from them."
