Why does it feel like BK is having a harder time recruiting here than coaches who had way less proof of concept on the field?
I don't accept your premise.
LSU has always been heavy on in-state recruiting. This is not a strong year for Louisiana, yet LSU will still likely be Top 10-ish. LSU looks to have a Top 3 class in 2025 and 2026.

No one can argue the validity of your point. We have been heavily dependent on the state over the years and our classes have been ranked accordingly based on the strength year to year. The strategy has worked to get us where we are in the pantheon of college football.
Wasn't the point of hiring Kelly, an established coach lacking only the big prize at the highest level, to improve from the norm? It's been proven lesser coaches can win here using that strategy. Why pay 100 mil over 10 years to remain at status quo when an up and comer would've sufficed at a much lower price tag? Fair or not the bar is Bama and UGA. Sustained dominance. Status quo doesn't accomplish that. It's been proven. Common sense says adjust the recruiting footprint. LA dominated classes supplemented from Texas and the SE isn't getting us where we want to be. Not for the price we are paying.
