Recruiting...the emotional roller coaster.

I find myself becoming less and less interested in the recruiting cycles as each year passes. I don't post much but I used to enjoy following the process during the off season. We've reached a point where a "commitment" means nothing. I graduated from LSU in 92 and I've hated Bama for as long as I can remember. I grew up hating Bama. How is it that so many of our La "born and bred" recruits are now coming down to an LSU vs. Bama decision? Is it media hype or is it real? I have no problem with a recruit exploring opportunities outside of our state. That said, why is it that so many of our best kids come down to LSU vs. Bama. I actually want kids that publically state that they hate those MF'ers and can't wait for the opportunity to stomp their asses. If our La kids want to go to Bama...go. Just announce early and quit playing our fans. That's the part that bothers me the most. Any La kid that is going to sign a LOI to Bama...surely doesn't bleed purple & gold and is going anyway. We all seem to want our kids first and foremost but it doesn't seem that the feeling is mutual in many cases. I say...commit early and quit the "me first" drama. Again, if these kids have ANY loyalty to our home state, please do everyone a favor and just commit early. We will have ~25 players sign LOI's next year and those are the players that I will care about. It makes me sick to see all of the grown-ups arguing back and forth about how some post might effect a kids decision. If your not a Tiger...you're TIGERBAIT!
