ESPN Article about Talent leaving the State

LSU

Man, did you ever put a negative spin on that blurb from a very short column. My paraphrase is that Louisiana is really deep this year, LSU is getting who they want, some are having to leave.

What he fails to mention is the SEC now has the strongest group of head coaches of any league in the Country. Every State is now open game, just look at what is happening to Florida and Georgia.
It seems most of the guys we lose have problems qualifying or go to a high profile program they can start as a freshmen.

Foolish article, noone can get all of the good players in their state

No doubt. Just look at Oklahoma. Even Texas is stealing some of the Texas players from them

Reed has said on MANY occasions he wants to stay in state so his family can see him play. He brought ten people with him to the Auburn camp for fun, he is most probably already an LSU silent commit so we can get Wright as well IMO.

I think we close out with:
LS
TR
JW
one more LB/DL

The title is misleading and meant to get the article attention. It worked, I sure read it.

Lot's of in-state talent every year. LSU can't sign em all. Should make La Tech better since Jewlane and ULaLa can't recruit. Oh yea Texas A&M too

While the title may be a little misleading, as noted above, it's just grabbing everyone's attention. LSU's continued dominance with in state talent is made clear in the opening lines of the article:

It's no secret that LSU has dominated in-state recruiting this decade. Apart from the occasional player like Joe McKnight, who left for USC, the Tigers tend to get who they want out of the Pelican State. This year is a good year in Louisiana and many of the top prospects have already committed to the Tigers, who have 21 commits and are filling up fast. That means there will be some good players that leave the state.

Funny how Joe Mcknight gets mentioned as the guy we lost, but Mauti will probably be the bigger loss. In terms of excellence in college, and positional need for LSU. G
