many top-flight recruits left the state? I'm counting eight for this year.

DaQuille (JuCo - Auburn)
Speedy (A&M)
Young (UCLA)
CRob ( )
Sims ( )
Hootie ( )
GWIII (UF)
McDowell (OM)

Seems in the past there was one or maybe two, but never this many.

ETA: McDowell

When John David Crow was taken out of his LSU Dorm by Bear Bryant and taken to A&M, that was pretty big. He won the Heisman. Don't think any of these will win one.

DaQuille (JuCo - Auburn)- Backed off.
Speedy (A&M)
Young (UCLA)
CRob ( )
Sims ( ) - Never really went after him
Hootie ( ) - Backed off when he thought he wanted back
GWIII (UF)

So that leaves only 4 really.

Oh and I like how you refused to type Bama.

Sadly and thankfully at the same time, LSU is more respected outside of our State than inside by recruits because of our fans.

From out of state we got:

Voohries
Adams
Garret
Valentine
Paris
Clark
Some dude from Florida.

Those are all exceptional athletes, it evens out. I also think if we got everyone in state, we wouldn't have gotten all these out of state guys. We also got half the top 10 instate. Stop complaining. The only REAL loss was Robinson. You can say speedy, but Quinn and dupre fit our offense to the "T"

Lost hootie-gained Adams
Lost GWlll- gained valentine
Lost McDowell- gained Clark
Lost young- gained Garrett
Sims---- don't care.

Also Paris, and some other guys. I would put our out of state guys at the very least EQUAL with what we lost. This class is a beast.

It's an epidemic. I just laugh at my friends that hate on Miles.

Man, y'all are some defensive little bitches
All the guy did was ask a question about in state talent going elsewhere this year compared to years past.
Y'all are the ones that took that & turned it into a Miles bash.
The Miles Gestapo is strong as evah!
