Recruiting Strategy

Let me preface this with I don't think CLM is a bad recruiter or bad coach but this recruiting cycle tells me LSU needs some serious changes in their approach to recruiting. They seem to put all of their eggs in one basket. For example I am thrilled they got LF but they didn't recruit a rb last year if LF had decided to elsewhere we would've been screwed. I don't like the fact that we will wait until late in the game to start offering kids that are committed to other schools because we have missed on someone like Willis. LSU needs to get some young La coaches on their staff for recruiting and the reason I say this some of the guys on our staff do not seem to be able to get a handle or relate to some of the kids in state kids. This year alone it looks as if most of the top talent in the state is leaving the state. Cam Robinson, Hootie Jones, Willis, Speedy, Sims and several others. Recruiting is the life blood of a program and I admit that LSU has done well in the past but the game seems to be changing. We look desperate offering kids that have been committed to other schools and at the midnight hour we go in saying well we didn't get who really wanted so now were interested in you. I feel like these other schools are playing chess and we're still checkers.
