Getting in late on #1 player again

So you don't think Michael Ford, or Charles Scott, or Keiland, or Murphy, or Ridley, or Trindon, can handle the load until we recruit another set in 2010?

RB WAS NOT A PRIORITY with the depth we had this year.

do you have any proof we weren't recruiting Brown earlier?

We got some studs at RB and seastrunk could be a solid player to sign. RB was not that big of a worry this yr IMO

we went after his bro pretty hard last year ...Bryce, not so much

LSU feels out every top prospect in the nation early on, they only persue the ones who are intrested in LSU.

T. Pryor never wanted anything to do with LSU, he just wanted to add them to list. Bryce Brown is only considering LSU now b/c :
1. We are a national power
2. We only signed one RB this year.

i also think it has to do with location. kansas and pennsylvania are quite a ways from BR. they show minimal interest early, and then we put more eggs in the closer, more realistic baskets

kinda disappointing that we have had interest in these elite guys, but got on them too late(for whatever reason). minimal consolation= kids from across the country are taking notice of our program, and eventually, we will land a big timer from far away.

overall though, coaches did a great job in recruiting. it doesnt always workout the way you plan, but sometimes you are lucky the "cant miss" prospect doesnt chose you (texas, perrilloux). hard to complain about the class we are bringing in

I'm more than okay with Jordan Jefferson and Michael Ford for our QB last year and our RB this year. I'm sure most Tiger fans are.

did you see the "proof" he had that santonio holmes 2nd foot really never got down in the superbowl?

I finally saw a photo that proved it to me. Nice catch Santonio

You answered your own question. What's the point of continuing to recruit a kid hard if he doesn't show interest.

he never said he wasn't interested in us at any point in the recruitment...as a matter of fact, he loved Miles when the two chatted Monday, so I don't see why this would all of the sudden be a revelation

I think we clearly went hard after Richardson and didn't press Brown much assuming he would follow his bro to The U ...but as soon as he started going cold on Miami and realized that Richardson was a Bama commit, why not go after him hard at that point? If he would go way out to Oregon he would come to LSU I would have to believe ...we could have gotten in seriously a couple of months ago but we didn't
