I agree with your statement to a point. We have assembled pretty much the best cast of recruiters in all of college football on our coaching staff.

We still ought to go 100% after all blue chip recruits we want on the team, but if the coaching staff gets a feeling that a kid won't really consider LSU very seriously, maybe we ought to move on to other kids that will.

Our coaching staff doesn't have the time to waste on kids thy are pretty sure don't want to play here. They could better spend their time on kids that have genuine interest in playing here.

Is it possible with the awesome recruiters we have they could change a kid's mind? Sure it is, but I think they can get a good feel of who those kids are once they meet with them a few times. If their is a very slim chance of them changing their mind, we could probably spend our time better moving on to other recruits.

In the end I guess none of this is either here or there, the answer has to be we trust our awesome recruiters to figure this stuff out, and so far it seems to be working out just fine, the proof of which is our national recruiting rankings.

Really...two (2) recruiting thoughts I find simple minded (1) they gotta want to be a Tiger (duh) and (2) if they don't go to LSU, they can't get a job in the state when their school is over.

Simply put, it is great when a highly coveted kid wants to go to LSU, but as long as he doesn't disrespect LSU and goes through the process with class and honesty, I am okay with the outcome. These guys with the options they have should make the choice that they view as being in their best interests.

This is always an obvious point. The real issue is that we want all recruits to want to be tigers.

This was my first real post and I wanted to say something positive about the kids who grew up wanting to play for LSU. Love the great Tigers from out of state too.

I've been way out of the loop. Has LSU recently lost an instate 4 or 5 star recruit?

It has nothing to do with that and everything to do with the fact that these posts show up every year the week coming up on Signing Day. These type of posts would be completely benign should people have the restraint to post them on... Thursday.

I hate these threads! Guys like Patrick Peterson, Kwon Alexander, Etahan Pocic, Joeseph Barksdale, Matt Flynn, Stevan Ridley, Kelvin Sheppard and Brandon Lafell were great players and have represented LSU greatly. Support all the players who choose to be Tigers!
