Why are we getting so much love during the dead period?

Changes in coaching, coaching philosophy, players leaving early...???

Our back channels are working overtime

Because too college recruits understand LSU is An elite program with NFL opportunities.

M any here hate Miles, many recruits love him.

I love being an LSU fan!

Our DC has already been named. They're waiting to officially get him on staff so he can recruit during the dead period.


I don't know if that's true, but it would be smart.

So lets say we have our new DC picked but haven't HIRED him. Does that technically make it OK for that person to reach out to recruits during a dead period being that they are not a "coach" yet? Have we found a loophole?

Because it's LSU.

I think a lot of players see and love the same things about the program that made us all fall in love with it in the first place: The history, the tradition, the color, the pageantry, the stadium, the goal posts, the helmets, the uniforms, the great crowds, etc. etc.

On a message board I think some people get so caught up in criticizing one coach or another or one player or another that they lose sight of the magic. I don't think recruits suffer from this as they have enough going on in their own lives not to overanalyze every little thing and instead can see the big picture - thrilling games against top level opponents, insanely loud crowds, the purple and gold uniforms, etc.

Actually I think most of the wider fan base feels the same. I know I admire other programs but for me there is nothing like an LSU game - whether tailgating and watching the game in person or watching it on TV or in the old days even listening to it on the radio.

That statement is not true.
