Would be great if Top Louisiana Recruits would unite

and start helping our state win national championships. Unite and commit early and think more of the team and less of the 2 min of fame announcing on All American Game. Commit early and then start helping the staff to recruit nationally. Instead Shea commits to a rival and starts recruiting for them. Carter at Bama, Shea at Ole Miss. It is a shame. I always like those players best who commit early and LOVE LSU and Louisiana. Great Players who understand the concept of team wins national championships.

Shea is not really from Louisiana.
Carter, let's just say that is far from over.
My main thought is this: on the day we get a commitment from the no. 1 DB in the country (from Florida) you want to lament about a few Louisiana players we probably won't get.
To each his own I guess.

We had some unbelievably great news on recruiting today; it didn't nvolve a top La recruit but we're thrilled anyway.

So what? You don't think Fla would like him to stay and help recruit?

You must want guys like Jacob Hester - who exemplified "bleeding Purple and Gold" as much as anyone. Well, except that he had initially committed to the Longhorns (before going back on his word, and switching to LSU).

My message is simple Louisiana players unite to help recruit nationally. Would be awesome. If we get an out of state guy I want him recruiting for us too. The earlier the better like Sheppard, Tolliver and Saivion. I am all for the double standard. Never said anything about Hester...where did that come from? This is just in an ideal world. Will never happen. Too much pressure from Recruiting cites, Corporate sponsers and ESPN.

Not sure you are getting his point.
The perception is that every state can say that it is up to their top prospects to stay home and play for the flagship university; but the real reality has alway been this:
It's up to your favorite school to convince the instate athletes to stay as well as sway a few oos prospects as well. It's the free market of ncaa recruiting.
That's all there is to it.
Go out there and make LSU attractive enough for players and families to choose lsu. We do a good job of it. Only a few get away......but by no means is there a "property of Louisiana " tattoo on the thigh of every prospect, and this board should realize that.

Some kids spend their whole lives here and want to get out. Same with guys from Florida wanting to get out.
If the kids in Louisiana don't want to come to play for LSU, to hell with them and good luck at where they chose. I'd rather support the guys that want to come play for the Purple and Gold, than sob over the Louisiana kids going to other schools.
Last time I checked DBU wasn't hurting because guys like Landon Collins didn't come play for LSU.

You start this tread on the day we steal the number 1 corner out of florida lol. You must be high

Maybe Louisiana should unite more and stop the South La vs North La shite, and recruit harder along I-20.
Posted on 2/24/15 at 6:24 pm to Utah Tiger
We pull the #1 player in Florida and this is what you're thinking about?
Posted on 2/24/15 at 6:30 pm to Utah Tiger
LSU is recruiting nationally. You can't expect kids to think locally when the coaches don't.
ETA That's not a dig, just pointing out the hypocrisy.

In the end, I don't think Patterson and Carter going elsewhere are gonna hurt us all that much. Franks has a higher ceiling and we pull elite DBs like nobody's business. Now if we can get the elite Louisiana DL in this class to unite, with the secondary we already have, our D will be a nightmare for opposing QBs.

Dylan Moses & the rest of the 2017 "Dream Team" is pretty much doing just that.

I'm not a fan of the "hell with him" verbiage.
Should a high school coach at a Louisiana high school say hell with lsu if his best player doesn't get an offer?

We are not objective, we are fans. We never expect other states to get home cooking like we want. We are spoiled and we like it.

Two things there Mr Utah. Well three.
1.Do you have 3 wives or are you a big Patrick Swayze fan?
2. Stop letting things 18 year old boys decisions ruin your day and your love for LSU. Even though I doubt you have very much because you wouldn't be complaining on a day when we signed the #1 recruit out of the state of Floroda. Who is also the #1 at his position in the country.
3. You never know what is going on in a young man's life. Because there is more to life than who you and your water cooler friends think the best QB is. When I was 18 If LSU and a school from Tennessee had offered me a Scholly I would have went to the school in Tenn. Not because I didn't love LSU but because of the home life I had. So how about you go mature a little and just enjoy LSU football. Also tell your watercooler buddies Shea isn't even the best QB in his class, but guess who has the guy that is???????????

I want the top players in the nation to unite and commit to LSU. Why not go after all the best players?
