Don't discount the effort to get those guys though. Having those connections is one thing, actually acting on them is another. Martin wouldn't have been in this class if Trent were still here. Who knows on Mickey, no one knew he was even related to James Wright until Jones started recruiting him.
I certianly don't mean to discount the staff's effort in recruiting those guys. But I don't see how it's "baffling" that LSU was able to sign those guys. I give the staff complete credit. They identified guys who were excellent players who happened to have certian LSU/BR specific connections, and pounced on the opportunity to bring them into the program. The last staff failed to do that, and with the way things were going it may have been 2015 before LSU returned to the NCAAT

i've heard from more than one person that the former staff would get very defensive when the topic of recruiting was brought up by the media. the only way we'd know who was a target was by reading kids saying that they were interested in LSU. this staff knows that fans want to know. it's perfectly fine to keep some stuff close to the vest, especially if you're winning ball games but when you have 2 of the worst seasons in school history, fans want to know that there is hope on the horizon, especially when it comes to bringing in talent.

Definitely. But it's not something we're used to coming off the TJ era.
