Good job I agree, just sux when recruits leaves to go to a rival in which you play every year.

Since 2008, if I were to list every recruit we lost to Alabama, and replaced them with a top recruit from Texas or Florida..do you think LSU had a decent swap in talent?
Still misses the overall strategic point. Anything that helps our main rival while simultaneously taking away from us hinders our chances at a NC. The road runs through Tuscaloosa now.

All the recent success, and continued big names in recruiting, year after year..
I swear to jesus if LF goes to bama I will go push that saban statue over myself.

Here's the thing Rivals did on just five stars that also shows LSU keeps more kids.
August 10, 2012 article
For all of the people that think LSU loses too many in-state players here's the reality of how LSU stands with other schools as far as who keeps their home state players. It's Scout so Louisiana doesn't have the appropriate number of five stars but it still shows LSU gets as high a percentage of the best players in the state as anyone in college football. Wish they had done it with four and five stars since so many Louisiana four stars are undervalued.
Forget the percentage of states that keep their players in the chart on the right and focus on the numbers in the article. The breakdown in the article shows what school the kids chose. The numbers in the article pertain to 5 star recruits. The chart refers to Rivals 100 players. Both reflect LSU's dominance of keeping in-state kids.
Those numbers show us LSU and Bama both got 75% of their respective in-state players. Michigan got 71%. No other school got near these percentages.
The number by school:
LOUISIANA: LSU 75.0 percent (9 of 12): Went to LSU (9): 2004: St. Martinville WR Early Doucet (LSU). 2005: Reserve East St. John QB Ryan Perrilloux (LSU). 2006: Elton DT Al Woods (LSU). 2007: Baton Rouge Southern Lab ATH Chad Jones (LSU). 2009: Bastrop WR Rueben Randle (LSU), Mansfield DT Chris Davenport (LSU). 2011: Baton Rouge Redemptorist OT La'El Collins (LSU), New Orleans O. Perry Walker DT Anthony Johnson (LSU), Lutcher WR Jarvis Landry (LSU).
Left (3): 2007: River Ridge John Curtis RB Joe McKnight (USC). 2009: Lake Charles Barbe CB Janzen Jackson (Tennessee). 2012: Geismar Dutchtown S Landon Collins (Alabama).
ALABAMA: Bama 75 percent (9 of 12): Went to Bama (9): 2006: Birmingham Huffman OT Andre Smith (Alabama). 2008: Foley WR Julio Jones (Alabama), Prichard Vigor ATH Burton Scott (Alabama), Mountain Brook OT Tyler Love (Alabama). 2009: Foley OT D.J. Fluker (Alabama), Gadsden City CB Dre Kirkpatrick (Alabama), Andalusia LB Nico Johnson (Alabama). 2010: Millbrook Stanhope Elmore CB Dre Milliner (Alabama). 2012: Daphne RB T.J. Yeldon (Alabama).
Stayed in state but didn't go to Bama (1): 2002: Selma WR Ben Obomanu (Auburn).
Left (2): 2003: Hoover WR Chad Jackson (Florida). 2012: Hueytown QB Jameis Winston (Florida State).
Spare me the "We're the only big school in the state" speech. Yes, we are but what does that have to do with the price of Community in NOLA? It doesn't matter. For whatever reason, no one keeps a higher percentage of "their" guys than LSU.

Louisiana top 15 2009:
LSU - 8

But, but 2009 was a stellar class. Does not compute.

I wonder how the numbers look for top 5 instead of top 15. I doubt Alabama is going too strong after the #6 through #15 Louisiana players very often, barring some unusual circumstance. They are usually only after the top 5 or 6. If they are getting 1-2 a year, that's a lot.

Bet it would be close to the same. LSU doesn't offer every top 15 player either.

Posters that bash on our coaching staff for not locking up the state use recruiting service rankings, so I felt I could use recruiting service rankings to back up my opinion.

McKnight, Jackson, and Collins have done nothing. Whether it was Les' choice not to recruit them harder or just good luck, LSU is not missing them. They are doing just fine without them. Granted, Robinson will probably turn out great, but LSU is not in trouble.

Your facts are not welcome here.
It's all about 1 or 2 recruits that we don't get. The rest that we do get don't matter.

Good analysis, I'd love to see the numbers for Lsu/LA in the rotten years of the 90's. There was some major talent in the state that passed on Lsu.
