I surely think we could make room for Lacy, Bell, Collins, and Williams.

You know some 18 year kids just want to get away for their parents and try something new so I don't fault them for that. It has also been pointed out that thru history their have always been kids leaving la to play football. there have always been 4 and 5 stars leaving the state and their have always been 4 and 5 stars leaving their state to come here. What is most important is that Miles has gone to other states to fill in the gaps nicely.

I think there are many things that you can criticize Les Miles on as you obviously want to, but talent evaluation and recruiting is not one of them. Think about guys like tm7 or mo Claiborne that were very underrated but Les Miles and his staff saw it in them.

Go back to the rant and talk about the offense game plans some more.

We could, but it means we'd have to do with out some one else.

Outside of Ware, all of our RB's are La guys, though Ware was a year after Lacy. Does Lacy add anything to our running game that Ware did not? No. He was good not special, just like Ware/Ford etc.

Bell flipped on NSD when Randle committed, story was we was going to who ever lost Randle. Randle was better. We did not sign any other WR that year. Maybe we would have taken both, maybe we only wanted 1. I don't see where Bell materially changes anything for LSU or Bama.

Collins, obviously we wanted, he is a great prospect. He choose to go to Bama. I don't know what else the staff could have done, the pressed him the whole time. Once they missed, they went out and got Corey Thompson, a good prospect in his own right.

Williams there have been many different rumors I won't repeat, but it seems he wanted to leave the state and either the staff cooled on him or back offed since he was determined to leave. Bama got in the game late, just last week 247 was reporting Bama people were surprised they pushed for him. He is a good prospect, I'm sure we coould have taken. However, we went out and got other good prospects in his place. so what's the problem?
