It sounds ok on paper, but we lost 5 of the top 10 last year, 2 of the top 7 this year with #1 over all going out of state 2 years in a row. We can’t let that happen anymore. We used to take all of the top LA guys, then cherry pick Texas. Now Texas schools are cherry picking LA.

No we’ve always lost top in state guys because they wanted out of state. This isn’t a new thing lol

Since about 3 years after Saban got to Bama, we have not automatically locked down LA. Did you forget 2016 and 17, when O struggled to keep guys from leaving? That wasn’t just a few flips. It was across the board and Bama won 2 titles with those classes and those players as leaders and a Heisman winner.
I’ll give O credit that he did stop the flow out in 18 and 19, but don’t pretend this is automatic. Anytime LSU struggles it’s open season.
The top 2 guys this year- both defensive players. Do you think that works in our favor right now? One wanted nothing to do with LSU no matter what. The other is a DT, where we’ve had 4 coaches in 5 years and our current one has been out all season until just recently.
The staff needs to do better on defensive recruiting. I don’t dispute that. Replacing House with someone who can coach and recruit better will help with that.
Do you have any complaints about offensive recruiting right now? I sure don’t.
