It happens every year with only 25 schollies give or take, if we cherry pick top end talent from across the country that does not leave many spots left for LA only kids. Meaning every year good, SEC caliber maybe even if they develop All-SEC caliber talent going to other schools.
People that do not follow recruiting simply see after in college how great they do and that they are from LA so obviously the coaching staff gets painted as idiots. When in reality projecting kids 2-3 years down the road is one of if not the hardest thing to do when it comes to college coaching.
Etienne was a little different in any other year he would have probably signed before his senior year even began. But with a talent like Cam Akers and already having CEH in the fold it made sense at the time.

Yep.
We see a similar understanding of Dak - 'how'd he get away' while we were slogging through Jennings/Harris.
