If BK hires Cortez Hankton, look-out!

IMO, Cortez Hankton as WRs coach would solidify BK's staff from a recruiting perspective. Collectively, this group of coaches would give us a strong local (LA), regional & national presence.
In-State (LA)
Hankton, a New Orleans native, feels like the final piece to the 'local (LA)' puzzle. We'd have a solid, four (4) man squad that includes:
(1) Frank Wilson (state-wide)
(2) Brad Davis (BR)
(3) Cortez Hankton (NOLA)
(4) Joe Sloan (North LA)
Regional (TX-OK-AR-MO)
The following group of assistant coaches appear to have an established presence in neighboring states that we've not tapped into as much in recent years:
(a) Brad Davis (Ark/MO/TX)
(b) Kerry Cooks (TX/OK)
(c) Jamar Cain (TX/OK/CA)
(d) Robert Steeples (MO)
National (Midwest-E/W Coasts)
Beyond the territory that's geographically close in proximity, this new staff should also have strong networks nationally, as follows:
(1) Brian Kelly (Midwest-E. Coast)
(2) Mike Denbrock (Midwest)
(3) Matt House (Southeast)
(4) Brian Polian (West Coast)

Well done ,

Low Texas numbers have been hurting the most in recent classes. We have to start winning those battles.

Cain also national - was hitting Maryland recruiting pretty hard before Riley left.

score another for d-wright, another good post. Thank you.
I'd absolutely love to see Hankton at LSU. Sort of rounds it out/completes the circle doesn't it?
He doesn't have a wealth of experience, but for the most part appears to be a pretty good coach outside the recruiting benefits. He falls in that up-and-comer category as a technical coach to me and for WRs that's just fine.

All that matters now is $$$$$. Recruiting is a lot easier now and a much easier decision for recruits. Now all you have to do is commit to highest bidder. Coaches and their background and recruiting ability are secondary.

Not that it matters because Cortez is obviously a good guy, but isn't the Hankton family of NOLA a pretty shady group, or am I totally confusing that last name with a former LSU DB's family? Just curious.

Is he under consideration?

Hankton would be overkill with Wilson, Davis, and Sloan.
We need a guy with connections in Florida (to replace Raymond) or Texas.

I think dwright369 is the white whale! Or maybe a unicorn
Terrific post, sir.
ETA: My upvote was number 101.

I’ll take Hankton because he’s been on staff with Kirby and they are all recruiting well. He will know what Georgia has been doing to get the recruits too. It’s time for LSU to step up their dirty game. Getting some insight on what Georgia has been doing will be good for this.

Steeples is my dark horse for being an elite recruiter. He's a super star about to emerge. Bookmark it.

GREAT Post.

We used to pull a few from Florida. Who has Florida ties?
Posted on 1/6/22 at 4:20 pm to dwright369
Ready to see these guys reap some top 5 classes in 23 and 24. Get it rolling!
Posted on 1/6/22 at 4:28 pm to dwright369
This thread has me pretty excited not gonna lie.
Get go immediate transfers to play and have a good year, let's say 9 wins, then our recruiting will sky rocket.

dwright...thx for the post

Great post dwright.
Agree that keeping some lines in to FL is important.
However, NTX now has 8 million people here & LSU needs to rebuild recruiting connections here. Too much HS FB talent here & in East Texas to ignore.
Plus, an easy 7-hr. drive each way to/from BTR.

Once again the good stuff comes from your posts. Super organized and easy to understand. Thank you Dwright!

Means nothing if local businesses isn’t ready to put out the money
