Did LSU lose Moses & Allen...

Simply because Les Miles was fired? If so, then they are necessary casualties to get better as a program.
One thing that is making many fans lose some interest is how Bama keeps winning every February. To quote Ike from Tombstone, "How many hands is that in row Holiday 12, damnit know when is that lucky!"
I don't know of any other program that has just back to back #1 recruiting classes much less 8 in a row (maybe USCe with Carrol?) How does this not draw an investigation?

We lost Moses and Allen for one simple reason.
Alabama is the #1 program in the country right now, and we have failed to beat them on the field.
This is all about Alabama's excellence, and our failure to challenge it. We are seeing the long-term effects of that failure bearing fruit for Alabama.
If you are a senior in high school right now, all you've seen since 6th grade is LSU losing to Alabama, year after year, and Alabama winning 3 national championships since then. The last time LSU won a national championship, you were 9 years old, and probably not even watching football seriously then.
This problem is not going to get better anytime soon, by the way. It will continue to get worse. The instant LSU starts denying Alabama championships by beating them on the field, the trend will start to turn the other way. But right now, recruits look at an Alabama offer as recognition of being among the best. It will be hard to reverse that thinking. The way to do it is multiple defeats of Alabama on the field.

You couldn't get through one sentence without proving how little you know about the process. Nothing about this is simple and it is never one reason or factor.

No. Moses used Miles as an excuse; and that's excuse in it's most negative connotation.
Don't forget, some of the time he was talking about Les Miles being fired and how it affected his recruitment was AFTER he decommitted from us and WHILE he was a Bama commit. So you had a recruit (not player) who was committed to Bama talking about who he preferred to coach LSU. It's like a forklift driver at FedEx talking about who should be the UPS chairman.

If Moses was that solid to Miles, why decommit?
Saban is using this kids as a way to hurt LSU. They don't realize they're pawns.

That's perfectly stated. It's bad that Louisiana players would rather sit the bench at Bama than play at LSU.

Funny thing is their string of #1 classes started as soon as they "stopped" cheating
All of their boosters stopped going "rogue" when they hire a head coach who is close with the NCAA president I guess...
Alabama case spotlights Emmert, Saban friendship
