Taking Bell directly from LSU and players that both teams recruited like Sentimore, Lacey, Richardson.

LSU did manage to hold on to a lot of the guys from Louisiana that both teams wanted, but got waxed head-to-head on a bunch.

During his announcement....Bell looked like he wanted to be a tiger but was stuck at bama after he knew RR was heading this way. Miles did just fine.....

Stop it U have a top 3 class. Bell never gave a verbal. TR was there's to lose all along we did not offer Sentimore until he made the grades.

i don't think LSU even recruited lacey and had les recruited sentimore hard from the beginning he would have been a tiger. saban won with kenny bell and richardson. miles won with randle and jackson

Bell was the only surprise and it wasn't a back and forth battle. Just decided to switch in the end.

Bell didn't want to play with Randle for some reason. Sentimore we got in on late, Lacy we never recruited, and Richardson was a win for Bama. Bama did recruit Randle very hard, so that seems to be a big win.

Curiously you left out Ruben Randle who was recruited hard by both and was the #2 player overall.

LSU didn't go after Lacy or Sentimore until late.

Are you kidding? Bama wanted Randle, Shepard, Jackson, Montgomery, Ford. Please, throttle. Head to head, we beat a-hole on the best two players in the nation with Shepard and Randle. Douche bag won't get Jackson either even though he tried to steal him right under our feet in a truly sad attempt to take him from us. Get your facts straight please. Richardson and Sentimore commited early to Bama and we talked to them AFTER they committed. We didn't get in the picture for them until way late in the game.

LSU didn't offer Sentimore a scholarship to play football until 4 days ago.

Eddie Lacy has been a grade/"issues" risk from the very beginning, and was NEVER recruited by LSU in any capacity other than enough to NOT get the head coach of his HS pissed off at LSU.

Richardson is from Florida, not Louisiana, so I don't know why that's relevant.

Bell is, well, (I'll try not to "bash" here) not that wise if he left LSU's class due to depth only to join Alabama's class with 2 more receivers and Julio Jones.

espn has miles on tv ALL DAY. ALL DAY coverage on espn about how great LSU's class is and LSU is ranked # 1. as for lacy, he won't play on account of his grades, as for bell, bell is a dime a dozen.

Just to add to my earlier thought, lsu didn't even offer lacy a scholarship. On another note, Saban has never stepped foot on dhs's campus. My source? Me. I'm at the school 2-3 times per week.
