re: Northeast Louisiana Recruiting

Then in '16 under O LSU apparently spent more resources up there and got 5 from N. LA (if you count Layton Garnett).

Last year's class was a total whiff with 0. I know they missed out on Mathis, but can't remember anyone else off the top left of my head.

And in '18 LSU is on pace to sign 7-8 even without Bolden.

Coach Stud was in charge of North Louisiana when he was here and that is when it started going bad.

I was born and raised in North Louisiana and graduated from LSU. That makes me more a part of LSU than most of you uneducated coonasses. I know it hurts to hear that, but it's true.

Whether or not LSU was foolish not to recruit N. LA harder is a different question. Some would argue that LSU was right to target S. LA more.

I'm just pointing out the changes began under Frank. Stud was no doubt a part of why we struggled because he was lazy as far as recruiters go.

O has stated his plan is to "lock down" the state and go out of state for potential 1st rounders. The grey area is what does "lock down" mean exactly? Go hard after a kid like Bolden or no?

Personally, I think LSU needs to go after the most talented players regardless of where they are from. That's what Bama does. Gotta do that to go toe to toe with em imo.

Oh noooooo we missed out on those La Tech studs

From a close source Slade isn't that good...

He may or may not be that great, but he simply did not want to come to LSU. Don't give me that crap about LSU being his dream school, or growing up as a LSU fan. If any of that is true, he should be jumping to commit. What can Bama offer that LSU cannot? Truthfully, not much at all, if any. You get the boost from the media perhaps due to Saban's mystique, but other than that, LSU can provide him all the opportunity he needs to succeed. He ended up choosing Bama, he can go ahead and be processed in a year or two.

I'd be shocked to hear we didn't show more love than Bama did.

Honestly I don't think we recruited this kid that hard. I simply think our coaches feel like they have some better prospects identified and those are the ones that our coaches are recruiting the hardest. I think we are in on some prospects that nobody on this board even knows about. If our offense looks good this year then I think we finish strong on some out of state prospects.

For those that are saying this kid is not all that good is nonsense. If that team east of us wants him then their staff thinks that kid can be productive for them. I've seen the kid play 3 times and he's very good. But he's not a Fournette or Guice that we are losing here so I'm puzzled why the uproar other than he's going to a team that we haven't beat in some years.

It's not like this is a LA only ssue. It's an every state issue. Bottom line that team east of us pulls the best players from Hawaii, California, Florida, Texas and anywhere else they can find them so our staff better be damn good at identifying grown arse men that are a good fit for what we want to do on both sides of the ball. We start beating their arse here and there and some of these defections will stop.

He will not play!
