Personally, No i don't believe that our pitrid passing game has turned wrs off the last 2 years.We had Hunter and Davis commited and both were top OOS wrs.They didn't decommit because of our passing game.Davis got the offer he wanted in Texas and Hunter was going to Tennessee a long time before he decommited.That had to do with his coach pushing him and his want to be closer to home.That year we landed Kadron Boone who in many of the best FL guys minds was the best wr in FL that year.Lateness in the game was the reason we weren't able to really push more OOS kids.Fobbs and Williams were good gets regardless.This past year our top wr targets were all instate.Sure there were some OOS kids we offered but Landry(the best wr in the country),Beckham and Sylve were our tp guys from the beginning.Sylve decided to go to Bama early and we took Turner in the summer.Alonzo lewis also got offered very early in the process(actually the summer before his process really started)and he was a wr to most everyone and still could be but likely plays S.I honestly don't see who our putrid passing game cost us.We even turned down Trey metoyer early last year so it's pretty clear we felt good about our chances with the instate kids.The kids so far this year haven't mentioned anything about our passing game being bad that i've seen or heard and i am very tuned in to recruiting.It just hasn't been a factor to this point.Suprises me but i think it's affecting QB recruiting more than WR recruiting.We haven't exactly been knocking down the door with top QB recruits lately.We got fortunate that we were the 1st school that really pushed Mettenberger.We had great chances with Bridgewater and Brissett but Brisset never would've ended up here and for some reason we chose not to push Bridgewater at the end.
Thank you... I'm sitting here reading all these post that say we can't get top OOS receivers, well for one, like you mentioned, we got the ones we truly wanted because IN STATE was our priority this year. High school players aren't stupid, they watch games too. They know LSU has struggled passing it AND still didn't COMPLETELY abandon the passing game. Balance is how Les wants his offense run. High school WR's would love to play in a more pro-style offense like this rather than going somewhere where people claim they are a product of a system...

I have heard that if it is up to his step dad he will be a Hog. I hope not, if he isn't a Tiger then I hope he goes to the Big 12. I have seen this young man play football,basketball, and track the past 2 years, and if you think covering A. J. Green and Julio caused us problems, then I will promise you we don't want Dorial on our schedule every year.
