re: The importance of re-erecting the fence around Louisiana...

I'm with Chinese. I want the best players no matter where they come from. I love the LA kids and think they're considerably undervalued but also think sometimes we value the LA kid higher than an OOS kid even though the OOS kid is a better talent and prospect. I don't agree with that strategy. The goal is to get the best players available for your system and that can help the team be successful. It's completely understandable and expected that some LA kids will take precedence over some OOS kids that are more talented but a good part of that is weighing the odds of landing the kids against one another. It's a fine line and how that line is toed is what makes the difference. We're doing it this year at LB on both sides of the argument. We're overvaluing Beckwith and yet undervaluing Claiborne and Jones. Like I said a fine line.
