Payton didn’t want players on his roster that the general public had any former attachment to.

He was stubborn but he was a good coach and the best thing he ever did was leave us with as strong of a roster as he did.

So yes, while he refused to sign lsu players, he built a damn strong roster and won a TON of football games.

Always wonder what LSU players the team truly passed on just to spite the fans.

The most recent one I see mentioned are Queen, but they really wanted Ruiz to shore up the interior O-Line (hindsight is a bitch).

Stretching it out a little more has the Latt/White argument; but both are proving to be great players w/ flaws in their own right.

Cooks over Landry is interesting; because at the time it appeared both were drafted in their respective rounds; but so many wanted the team to double up on WRs because LSU

And, the other board favorite Collins that 32 teams refused to draft, and only 2-3 actually considered as an UDFA.
