Florida is great for recruiting, but LSU is the only deep south power 5 conference team that has no in-state competitor. A lot of kids grow up wanting to play for LSU and no other state school. In Florida, there is competition, so there is a difference there. Also, Louisiana is often #1 or #2 for NFL talent production. Coaching at a Florida school is still great for recruiting though.


LA is #1 in per capita, but acting like Florida doesn't have enough blue chippers to support 3 major universities is ignorant.

I'm not saying LSU is in a worse position, just that it's not any better than FSU. Recruiting capabilities would be a wash between the two.


ETA: Not to mention FSU and UF both have talent righ Georgia right next door. There is more than enough talent in those two states to support 5-6 major universities + 5-6 smaller ones.

Actually, per capita, LA is better. Maybe Jimbo can keep some of the "escapees" that the Gumps get.


This is one of the most nonsensical arguments that always gets thrown out here. There is no per capita football team. You can't line up with 9 guys. Absolute numbers are what matters.

I don't disagree. Both are great places for recruiting. The only coach at LSU that I ever remember having major issues with recruiting was Mike Archer and he took over at a good time when LSU had talent.
