re: 5 reasons LSU didnt make it to the big dance

Neither UCLA or Oklahoma made the tournament either. Morgan is garbage and there is no doubt in my mind that TMG would have never signed with LSU, regardless if Brady was here or not. He committed very early and blew up later on and had offers coming out of the woodwork. With the way LSU tanked Brady's last two years, TMG would have been a gone pecan.

What UCLA or OU did is irrelevant. They did not go 2-14 either.

Morgan may have developed bettr in a different syste. You can speculate whether Griffin would have signed, but he was committed when Brady left. So was Brandon Mitchell who later signed with ARkansas football. Delwan Graham was also signed before Brady left and is now gone.

Brady can't be responsible for what happened with those four playes who were either signed by or committed to LSU when he was terminated. Had Brady been retained he and Butch had other recruits that would have been signed. Trent Johnson had other options he chose not to take. Time will tell whether this was right for the long haul, but it is well past time to stop blaming Brady for whatever shortfalls there are in the program. Likewise he does not get credit for the success of 2009 other than for recruiting all but one of the players.
