Recruiting

Recruits often aren’t swayed by a single game, but that wasn’t a normal game. That was like 2000 UT and State- games you look back to years later after a title as a turning point for the program.

I could see last night’s game making a difference for some guys who are looking at us, especially when viewed as the culmination of the development of this team over the course of the season. Any kid or parent wondering if they will get proper development at LSU can look at this season and that game and see the proof they need. It’s undeniable. I think last night also showed we will be able to go toe-to-toe with anyone starting next season. Those are the things kids and families want to see before they make a decision.

Exactly. Parents want to see stability and good development. Bryan Kelly checks both of those boxes. The huge strides this team has made this year shows that Kelly can develop his players and he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Also at this point you can use the basis that Kelly will be here the next 10 years. How much longer you think Saban will be there? It's a valid point.
