Missing the point entirely. Building the relationships helps give you an edge to KEEP those 4-5 stars here. You say that 2019 was not won with local 3 star players. Justin Jefferson and Clyde Edwards Helaire say hello. And, my son played at Catholic and I can tell you that it matters seeing your former teammates and alum playing for the Tigers. Clyde's success at LSU did not hurt with recruiting players like Emery Jones this year.
But, yes, getting the star recruits also matters. On those 4-5 star kids, how many players from Louisiana have contributed to Saban's success at Alabama? The answer is "a lot". Do what it takes to keep those kids here and you strengthen your team and weaken your biggest rival, who also has to be concerned with what is going on in Georgia and Texas because Alabama HAS to recruit those states (and Florida).

Agreed. Those guys go back and tell the guys at their high school they need to be at LSU. Need to OWN the state, keep 95% of the top talent in Louisiana

You don't take 3 stars for the chance to get 4 stars. Like I said, you can't take all of the 3 stars anyway, so what happens to the relationship when you don't take one?

According to 247, CEH was a 4 star, #10 player in the state, and #6 APB in the nation. LINK
Justin Jefferson was a 3 star primarily because of grades.
2019 was not won with Louisiana 3 stars.
2019 Blue Chip Ratio
1. Ohio State 81%
2. Alabama 80%
3. Georgia 79%
4. LSU 64%
quote:Again, CEH was a 4 star.
And, my son played at Catholic and I can tell you that it matters seeing your former teammates and alum playing for the Tigers. Clyde's success at LSU did not hurt with recruiting players like Emery Jones this year.
More importantly, did EJ come to LSU because of CEH? No.
Would EJ have come to LSU if CEH had not? Yes.

How many 3 star players are Saban/Smart/Fisher trying to get from Louisiana?
How many 3 stars are Saban/Smart/Fisher taking anywhere for the chance to get 4 stars?
