Possibly a flood of commitments and not enough scholarships or passing on some higher rated recruits due to the amount of early commitments. I would like to think that we wouldn't just take any commitment though.

Offers don't equal commitments. Not all of these will commit. The coaches know that and hedge their bets w lots of offers

I see what you mean. It just seems in the last few weeks the schoolys have been flying out of the coaches hands. Honestly I like that strategy, especially with OOS. I think LSU fans just aren't use to this type of aggressive recruiting throughout the nation.

Clarification please. Is this list to show how many LSU offers are out in each state?

C'mon Rev.
With the shite we dealt with last year, it's refreshing to see the amount of OOS talent that's interested in LSU.
It's time for these home boys to step up or be left out.
If they can't show loyalty to LSU we'll find recruits that can, no matter where they are from...

I think its fabulous. LSU is after the best players and not just in the deep south.

Wisconsin, NJ, Indiana, DC, Maryland, California. Terrific stuff.

LSU is about to EXPLODE.

Ok, Saban got Cam Rob (steering committee bs) and "I have a warm feeling about the assistant coach's wife" Landon Collins. LSU is on the scene now. I love it.

Yeah I hate to say this. But the love and loyalty for LA kids to commit and go to LSU is about 60/40. Sense its not guaranteed that the states best want to go LSU lets reverse roles and get other states top kids that want to go out of state.

I am okay with this philosophy and Les gave these guys a warning on NSD. To hell with you. I was discouraged about losing Tillery/Cam Robinson but after watching us reel in Chidi and Weathersby. It hit me that Saban built the fence but also built in a door for him to come and go as please.

If LA kids get mad they can only blame themselves.

Even going back to Joe McKnight. We have seemed to lose a top player in State each year. The 5 for 5 was enough. To hell with you Speedy and Gerald.

Of course it will. We're fricked if we don't lock down New Hampshire and Delaware.
