Impact on recruiting
Posted on 9/8/09 at 4:23 pm

I was curious as to what some of you thought about what impact the lack of freshmen play might have on potential recruits. Clearly we were looking to see what Russell Shepard could do as well as Reuben Randle but really didn't see anything on either. I was also looking to see if Brockers or Montgomery might get in the game but didn't see them. Perhaps I missed them. What really surprised me was how Miles really seemed pumped and gave every indication these guys would see the field this past weekend. I did see Josh Downs look impressive but that was really it. After observing how someone like Tennessee utilized their 5 star Freshman and how other schools don't seem as resistant to using true freshman and then watching Miles seemingly apprehensive to give them quality playing time, does anyone wonder what impact this might have down the road on our recruiting? I am not sure how I feel but thought it was worth discussing.

LSU did not have that many offensive plays in the game thanks to the defense. We also never pulled away from UW, which is prolly why the young guys didnt get in the game.
With guys like Saban, Kiffin, Meyer, Frank Wilson, and Orgeron in the SEC, you can book it they will be in the ears of recruits about not getting on the field early at LSU. I think it has some impact, but not that big of a deal to this point.

Tenn really has no choice because of their lack of upper level classmen who are very good (though they aren't nonexistent), and we did only run 43 plays, hardly enough to even establish our own veterans. They will play and be integral, I imagine, fairly soon.
However, if they don't see the field soon, I do think that it would affect self-conscious recruits, but probably not ones afraid of competition. But that's just me

I just wish he got RS in the game early, even if not to do anything but handoff.. I understand the late game situation thing, although if you play anyone at anypoint, with our talent you should have confidence they wont fumble, make the big mistakes that les was worried about. RS should have been on the field a few times, especially after les made it so public he would have a significant roll.
Im sure it helps for the recruits to see freshman on the field, but then again, If a recruit sees that a whole bunch of upperclassman play, they may feel there arent as many talented underclassman performing. It could work against tennessee for positions where they already have freshman playing, as recruits probably know that position is locked up for three more years. I think it all balances out.

if everything goes as planned most of the ones you named will see time this week. you have to realize how few plays we ran. and there will be no impact on recruiting.

I'd rather play all freshman and go 0-12 and continue to recruit well.

I really think some LSU fans are mentally retarded.

Impact on recruiting? No recruit picks a school based on a game, let alone a non conference one to start the season.
LSU will still remain one of the top 10 teams in recruiting year in and year out. Great in state talent, great program, and competes for the SEC/National title every year.

actually his question is a good one and he does have a point. are we really known for playing freshmen and sophomores even if they have more talent than the upperclassmen above them. yes, tn and bama last year did not have a choice but to play freshmen...once they fill up with talent you won't see that many freshmen take the field. but i thought les has a reputation of playing more senior players even if they had less potential..if i were a top recruit my goal is playing time and getting to the nfl as soon as possible...would i rather sit in a program until i am a junior or start as a freshman...hmmm

None.
Generally speaking, good teams don't find it necessary to start many freshman. If this were a primary concern for great HS players, then one could expect teams such as Vandy, Rice and Temple to have huge hauls of 5 star guys next year.

that's a good point too but i think some people have the perception maybe incorrectly that miles does not play his younger players even if they are deserving of it....this is not the first time we have heard this and i am sure this gets around and other schools probably whisper into recruits ears..

holy living frick.

should miles play a freshman over a more experienced player that is as good or better than the freshman just to help recruiting? of course not. that may hurt recruiting even more. besides, he's doing pretty good on recruiting as it is. lastly, i don't think UT has the vets we have.
