Apparently Miles DOES do a better job than most at keeping in-state talent. The "problem" is that LA just produces a really high number of top recruits compared to most other states.

The problem hasn't been recruiting, it's player development, specifically at qb

True lsusteve1, I get frustrated with the team as well at times, but many on here, think anybody can come to LSU and win NCs on the regular.

With the exception of QBs they seem to be pretty good at developing players. Just look at the NFL. I'm sure recruits do.

By contrast, Boston sports radio the other day talked about Bama players being "worn out" and underachieving.

Has the Michigan poster that said Michigan was on the same level as Alabama seen that SportsNation poll chart?

Well, he does get on average a significant amount of in state talent, but the problem rises when misses out on top tier talent in the state.

According to Rivals:

2015 (currently) - 1 out of top 5 committed
2014 - 2 of top 5 (3 of top 8)
2013 - 4 of top 5
2012 - 1 of top 6
2011 - 5 of top 5

So there are years that it is pretty sad that LSU gets less than 3 out of the top 5 LSU proscpects.

I the past 4 cycles (2012-2015), LSU has averaged 2 out of the top 5 Louisiana players despite all those advantages.

That is the issue that arises at LSU.

This is stupid considering you aren't accounting for needs, and that the 2015 cycle isn't done yet. But that wouldn't help your agenda, now would it?

That really has nothing to do with CLM. That's just the LSU brand In the state. He hardly recruits the Northern part of the state until he finds out that they have offers to other programs, and by then recruits feel disrespected

You've said a lot of dumb shite, but that might take the cake. LSU brand just sells itself huh?

It absolutely does. It's not like in the 90's when everyone was talking about Florida, Florida State, and Nebraska. Kids in Louisiana love LSU. If anything CLM needs to keep Saban and Sumlin out of the State
