Same thing happened with Justin Hunter after DJ McCarthy left. LSU has a real problem in recruiting in my estimation. I couldn't get anyone to call/connect with Justin for 3 weeks. And you know the rest of the story.

I have heard coach Mac continued to recruit Justin after he was taken off the road and out off the job at LSU. Just recruited him to go to another school.

There was good reason LSU backed off of Justin Hunter, Mike Davis (though Davis was really just a situation of Tejas calling him to come home as that's where he always wanted to go), Aikeem Hicks, & DeAngelo Benton. They all had one thing in common:

DJ McCarthy.

You may wanna stop and think about the context of the situation LSU was faced with at that point.

I also heard DJ kept right on calling ole Justin, even after being 86'd from the staff.
