Guess who's missing

ESPN

I'll post them since most people on here are not insiders, and I don't blame you.

1) Nick Saban, Alabama
2) Urban Meyer, Ohio State
3) Art Briles, Baylor
4) Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M
5) Dabo Swinney, Clemson
6) James Franklin, Vanderbilt
7) Will Muschamp, Florida
8) Lane Kiffin, USC
9) Brian Kelly, Notre Dame
10)David Shaw, Stanford

Honorable Mention: Brady Hoke, Michigan, Mark Richt, Georgia, Steve Sarkisian, Washington

***Just saw this too, ESPN ranked the top programs for "out of the state" recruiting. Listed LSU at 10 out of 10 but totally degraded LSU in the synopsis.

ESPN

10. LSU Tigers
Out-of-state pipeline: Texas (five)
STATUS: DRYING UP (zero ESPN 300 recruits committed for 2013; zero ESPN 150 recruits in 2012; zero ESPN 150 recruits in 2011)

For the first time since 2008, LSU doesn't have a single commit, no matter the ranking, from Texas. Texas A&M's move to the SEC has certainly affected the Tigers, who used to sell the opportunity to play in the nation's premier conference and remain closer to home. Les Miles couldn't convince ESPN 150 recruits, wide receiver Ricky Seals-Jones (Sealy, Texas) or defensive tackle Justin Manning (Dallas), to shun LSU's new SEC West rival.

The fact that Miles gets any offensive skill position players to commit should earn him a top 5 spot

Louisiana produces the most NFL talent per capita than any state in the country. When you're loaded with that much talent, why get players from other states?

I won't let them get me down...obviously they have something against us. It shows in the players rankings and this list. frick espn. We are consistently a top program so whatever they say does not really matter.

ETA: Honestly, I think they don't respect Miles...mostly due to his in game coaching mishaps.

My Longhorn buddy just pointed out that it's been a pretty shite year in the state as well. Kind of a stupid article but it is ESPN.
