Jimbo has been making use of his Alabama connections (especially his Mobile connections) to achieve some success in the state.

The problem for LSU is there is no one on our staff that has connections in the state.

I think with the offensive guys it is going to depend greatly on Miles Philosophy this coming year. A star reciever will not come to LSU if we continue with the JJ philosophy for passing numbers. But if Mett is the real deal and Miles lets him throw the ball we will be good!

well, if bama gets the #1 and 2 players in the state again, it'd be pretty disconcerting.

Ok, what do you think the problem is if not deadweight in recruiting?

Don't say because they just wanted to leave the state and nothing LSU can do. It is our recruiters job to sell LSU is the best place for them.

Just looked at 24/7's Louisiana top 20 for 2013 and Bama is listed on about half of them. Not sure if their list of offers is accurate, but they are showing Bama as offering 7 players


Because once you get an offer you have to commit (/sarcasm)...You do realize elite prospects get offers from everyone don't you?

I'm not a "negatiger", and i think the recruiting class that we have coming in is good....regardless of what the various scouting services rankings are......but with that being said, Miles really needs to get the fence back in order next year.

I give up. Let the negativity win out.....


Miles Sucks, His staff sucks, LSU sucks....LSU football team will be lucky to win 5 games next year.

We cant trow the ball, we cant run the ball, we cant stop the run, we cant pass block, we cant run block. The coaching sucks. We cant do diddly poo. I wish LSU would just do away with the football team. That way during football season we can all just go up to tuscaloser and sleep on $abun's pile of money.




I want to fight all of you

Nah, we don't care about rankings here. They mean nothing.

Did you know Claiborne was a three star?

I honestly wouldn't care if they signed 5 players out of Louisiana every season as long as LSU didn't want any of them...

We should invest in recruiting Alabama. That doesn't meant we give up traditional states, but send a message to Nick that we're serious.

That's because you're jealous as hell.

I don't care if they lose the top 3, as long as they find replacements for the lost three that are remotely comparable, let them go.

My impression is that if a Louisiana kid can play for Saban or Miles, he's going to play for Saban, unless he is a die-hard LSU fan and bleeds purple and gold.

Saban has more prestige and reputation right now than Miles. I don't see that changing.

Many of you cry and complain.

Do you go to Spring Games so that it can be used as a recruiting tool?

Are you aware of what each school is spending? go look.

Bama pays more for its coaching staff....more for recruiting. They are buying it.

Saban is a prick; everyone knows it (the incident w/ stepping over the convulsing Dolphin player; pulling back schollies at the last minute, etc.) -- but he wins games, and national championships. Until people start calling him on his BS, and continue to do so, why the hell should he stop? It's working for him. Louisiana high school coaches need to grow some nads and tell their kids the truth rather than suck up to him for their brief moment of glory. To me, that's what this is about. Saban is an egomaniac but knows how to stroke high school coaches' egos to get in with their players. Miles et al need to stop being so "nice" and start telling recruits like it is.
