How in the hell is CEO going to fence in the top Louisiana players from going to bama, seems every yr Saban gets La s top athlete or 2. What the hell can coach O do? Tired of this Sh*!

Nothing you can do unless you win championships, then recruits will come to you.

Beating Bama is the only way to stop it.

He was long gone. Timing was Saban tactic.

Need to win more or outbid bama. Tough at this juncture

Les took players from Florida and Texas regularly. I mean you're not going to get every single top Louisiana recruit.

There are ways to stop it but they are very dirty. However, if we want to go la boy we might as well go full la politician.

man, there is no such thing as signing ALL of the Louisiana recruits. some guys want to go out of state and sometimes we have a crowd at a particular position.

I also think that Saban targets Louisiana and that hurts us, which is his intention. he still has some very good relations with a number of high school coaches. he knows we are a legit competitor to winning the SEC so taking guys at our top needs helps him by hurting us. LB, OL is where he's hurt us the most. how is he getting them? i'm sure they have a program to take care of them.

recruiting stuff doesn't typically happen in day. Its kind of silly to be like look O is the coach and this kid jumped. He was likely to bama anyways.

This where it starts. We could slow it down but it would take dirty underhanded tactics to do it.

Kiffin would be the right guy to get this done then. But the sanctioning forces won't turn a blind eye to LSU doing it like they might for others.

He jumped yesterday. Their first LA commit this year. They signed one last year and I don't even think he's on the roster.

Lot better since O came on staff.

I wasn't talking coaches doing it. These would be things outside of NCAA jurisdiction.

It could start with pulling somethings that Urban pulled a few times with kids we stole out of UF.

I don't think LSU admin or power boosters have it in them to seriously win by using dirty back room politics.

I do think the ncaa would, they are basically cucks since USC. They let pedo state off easy, they are laughed at by UNC.

If you are going to count the record as interim coach to bolster the credentials to remove the interim tag, it's also fair to count that time for gauging success in recruiting Louisiana's best players. You don't do the guy any favors by making excuses for losing a guy from Baton Rouge at a position of need.

No one complains when we get Texas and Florida kids.

to be fair, when one of your top positions of need is LB, and the 2 best in the state are from BR, and both are committed to Bama...it can't be seen as anything other than a failure
