re: Just talked to a UT fan who had "inside info" about Legaux

Cajun....

I think everyone here that loves LSU also love LA players. Most would agree we need to lock down the state (meaning lock down the top talent). Outside of that top talent, evaluations are variable. That being said, you dont just offer every single LA kid with a little talent and ignore elite out of state recruits that have interest in LSU.

I mean you are seriously arguing that we should offer less out of state players for less talented in state players. Seriously. For every instate player that got away and is playing well, we have filled that spot with quality out of state players. I cant even argue with that rational and most here cant either because it makes absolutely no sense at all.

I guess your right, we should have not offered Shep. Those damn out of state players will be our down fall. We had plenty of good QBs instate, why even offer a kid like Shep.

Kevin Anderson is the #54 rated WR by everyone's favorite rank em' site...Know who is #52?

James Wright from Louisiana...(lol)

James Wright = man
Kevin Anderson = bench

Now we are playing ball. I'll stop with the personal attacks and discuss you like a gentleman if you would like to continue posting arguments at this caliber.

With that being said, 1) it took you 7 pages to finally get to a legitimate point. 2) that is one instance in which you are correct out of the freight train of instances given supporting Miles' policy.

Offering Kevin Anderson seems to be an attempt at getting a package deal on Scroggins. This is something I believe that LSU should certainly be above. However there are several explanations for this.

1) Shepard really hasn't worked out at QB and we realize that we badly need a solid QB in this class. Our arms are severely tied because every other coach is throwing the "they just took the number 1 QB in the last class" card every time we get in a battle for a recruit. Thus, we have to resort to uncharacteristic tactics.

2) Anderson was actually honest with his 40 time, unlike every other WR that runs a 4.4 no matter how slow they are. He may be really fast, but just not be that great in the 40. We are looking for a speedy slot receiver in this class and the coaches may have seen something while evaluating him. Morris Claiborne was a 3* and I think everyone on this board agree that he was highly underrated.

3) Les realizes that Louisiana players who aren't good enough to see the field at LSU will probably stay to complete their degree instead of transferring to another school. This is really a waste of a scholarship for 4-5 years instead of 1-2 years on an OOS player. That's why Les slow plays all of the in state kids that he's not sure about and uses them as back ups. Some times it back fires, but the rewards outweigh the consequences.

4) Les Miles hates Louisiana and LSU. He knows that Louisiana player will win more games because we were raised drinking Tobasco from our mother's teet. He's planning on destroying LSU's football team by taking highly ranked out of state players who, like mere mortals, nursed on milk as young children. Every night, he takes out his poster of the big house and beats off.


You can choose.

Trindon Holiday was 10x faster than Carter, but "not a natural pass catcher". I would say that's a pretty huge chink in his armor.

The writers are paid to be sensationalist. Nobody is going to interview with them if they dog all of the players.

Do you really think that out of state players were to blame for the 8-5 season?

As long as LSU gets 9 of the top 12 recruits in-state and then takes top talent from the rest of the region, they will be in great shape. LSU went 8-5 because of inexperienced QB play and awful coaching from 2 guys who were in over their heads.

Colt David, Ciron Black, Brandon LaFell, Joseph Barksdale, Brett Helms, Perry Riley, and Patrick Peterson were not why LSU went 8-5

I won't argue with you about Jarrett Lee though

You also keep mentioning these marginal recruits who were given offers from LSU. Look at 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 and name the marginal out of state guys who were taken. There are very few.

Not every offer is a committable offer.

Please stop going on about how many poor Louisiana boys LSU is screwing over.

You are not a real fan of The LSU Fighting Tigers any more. You have proven you have a some knowledge about Louisiana high school football and a subscription to a recruiting site but really have little knowledge about recruiting.

You are like Rocketbraves when it comes to being a spreader of negativity on this recruiting board.

You seem to be too close to the situation. Your argument leads me to believe either you or an immediate family member was not offered by LSU so now you hate Les Miles and his recruiting strategies. Maybe you are personal friends with Bebe or Frank Wilson.

You are to the point of pulling against the team you claim to be a fan of. You wish for LSU failure because you think it will prove your argument. In the future you will be on here telling us how great our boys are doing for some other school. You will relish in the failure of any OOS recruits.

Most of us want what is best for LSU. We all want the best players for winning national championships. Every coaching staff will make some mistakes in recruiting, but this staff has recruited as well as any in the country. Only someone with clouded judgement would choose to not trust they will continue to do a great job.

Please go post on a McNeese/Nichols/ULL or just some damn Louisiana high school site.

Pull your head out of your arse and keep your word.
"Good day and good cher" should have meant you were done.

Nope, not this past year anyways, but it's the direction we are headed...

Let me ask you...

Why haven't Reed, Allen, Vinson and Fobbs committed yet?

I was right then, this is personal with you and that is what has clouded your judgement.

If you have any knowledge in you at all, you'y know the answer to your own question
