How are we handling recruiting?

It’s a good question. We also have like 14 commits so not that many to lose. I’m sure the allure of PT and good NIL still trumps whoever the coach ends up being at a school like LSU

Because recruiting is part of the duties of the people still on staff and getting paid, even if they may not—or even likely won’t—be retained by the next staff. They are professionals and know that their chance of getting a new job or being retained will be greatly diminished if they stop recruiting. If anything, they ramp their efforts up.

And recruiting matters less and less as it refers to the HC. They are committing to the university, the promise of a really good HC and position coach, no matter who it is. But more importantly, the bag. And they can always change their minds at the last minute if they for some reason hate the new HC or their position coaches for whatever reason. But we have an advantage in Louisiana with Louisiana recruits as we have already been paying them NIL money while they’re in high school would have to be repaid if they wind up going elsewhere.

Mississippi has a law preventing that, which is a big reason Lane would prefer LSU to Ole Miss.
