LSU, we have a lot of talent in our own state. Just looking around the SEC there are LA kids on many rosters making a difference on their team. Some of those guys should be at LSU.

Let's start with TX A&M. LA players who will start or get lots of playing time.

Jonathan Stewart 6'4 237 LB ...could really use him next season.

Floyd Raven 6'2 187 CB ...will be a starter this season. Lock-down corner.

Deshazor Everett 6'0 176 CB ...will play alot this season.

2nd Teamers
Ivan Robinson 6'3 270 DT
Gavin Stansbury 6'4 265 DE
Tramin Jacobs 6'1 180 DB

Then they just picked up Julien Obioha 6'4 255 DE from N.O...not saying these guys could start at LSU, but some of them could really add depth to make a run at the National Title.

TENN will have 4 starters
Herman Lathers 6'0 225 LB from BR
Dallas Thomas 6'5 300 OT from BR
Prentiss Waggner 6'2 180 from Clinton
Darrington Sentimore 6'3 288 D'han
...more depth

They just picked up Davante Bourque 6'3 200 RB...oh, and don't forget we lost Justin Hunter to them also. It's okay, just talking about adding depth to blow away the TIDE!

Missouri Tigers
L'Damian Washington 6'4 195 WR from Shreveport. Could use him too.

Mississippi State
Dillon Day 6'4 300 OL
Dak Prescott 6'3 220 QB...and the one I really think we missed on - Ryan Brown 6'5 240 DE. I think he is going to be an outstanding player down the line.

Florida Gators
Damien Jacobs 6'4 290 DT - JUCO kid from La.

Auburn - they have 3 goods from the boot.
Greg Robinson 6'5 315 OL - he will be ALL-SEC and a pro.
Travante Stallworth 5'9 188 WR - will produce
Trovon Reed 6'0 183 WR - will produce in his Jr. season.

There are some guys that I may have missed, but just throwing this out there to show we have talent here in our own state. Not to knock what the LSU staff is doing now, but I like my La kids.

MS State is coming into the backyard and getting some steals. I know we can't get them all. But there are some good kids who really want to come and play for LSU in-state. Let's take a closer look at some of those guys before we just jump to the OOS guys.

Anybody know what happened to Vincent Taylor kid from TX. I thought he really liked LSU and was from La. I thought we should pick him up because he really had a motor.

Tell me what you think...

Tell me what OOS kids on LSUs roster you would replace with all these great Louisiana players

LSU has to go out of state. Louisiana doesn't produce enough QBs, Olinemen or LBs for LSU to be successful and compete for the SEC title every year

I think you're being a bitch. Be happy with what you have and faith that the coaches know what they're doing better than you.

I do not think you know what Lock-down means.

As I say over and over and over...

Why base the kids you choose to sign on something they have no control over??? These kids do not control where their parents choose to live. If some parents choose to move to Denver because of a better opportunity for employent (i.e. a better life for their children), that should have no effect on how desirable our coaching staff should consider their son for a scholarship offer.

Bottom line - I want kids who want to come play for LSU. As long as they have the talent, the academic ability, and are not likely to be bad seeds - sign 'em up.

I don't care if they come from Delhi, Louisiana or Delhi, India. That isn't their choice; that was their parents' choice.

There must be something about Taylor that has turned major programs off. He did not receive an offer from LSU, Texas, A&M or OU. He took his best offer, which is OSU. Kind of a weird deal after the hype he was receiving.

The only players that you list here that would be on LSU's two-deep roster were in fact recruited by LSU. Sometimes you lose kids that you want. You can't get them all. If these other starters were starters at LSU then we'd be in the Music City Bowl rather than playing for a title.

*TENN will have 4 starters *
*Dallas Thomas 6'5 300 OT from BR *

I played football with this guy in highschool at Broadmoor, I was a senior and played running back and he was a junior and played OL. He did not even play as a junior, has great height and decent size but kind of a goofy kid and didnt have much a killer attitude. Good kid though!

This is weird. Just because someone is from LA and went to an SEC school doesnt mean that LSU needs them or that they should have been offered . Youre just naming guys that havent even done anything for the most part.

This kid is in the 4th year at Mizzou, they throw the ball 90 times a game, and he's got about 5 career receptions. If he can't break into even a support role in a passing game that spreads it out as much as Mizzou does, why on earth would you think we could use him at LSU?

You realize LSU did recruit many of the players you listed but they made the choice to attend other schools......
