Actually...Dinardo was the one that started building the recruiting fence around Louisiana. Just check out the players that were here in 2000 when Saban arrived for proof.
Actually right in the sense he "started building the recruiting fence" but it had significant gaps worthy of mention. Dinardo hated the two-sport athlete(see Kennison) thus some of the best two-sport players left the state.
Henry clashed w/ Dinardo over Kennison and Chris Collins. Enough clash that they had to meet w/ the AD. DiNardo won, but only after Kennison left.
Saban embraced two-sport players even to the point of attending the NCAA track championship at LSU to support his players. He went crazy(happy) at the end of the 400m hurdles when Bazille(sp??), I think, finished top-3 or 4.

Chris Cummings, maybe? I know it is a name certain to draw laughter from the 13-to-20 year old set, but I'm certain that's how it was spelled.
