Texas is a major brand in college football. I'm a die had Tiger fan but realize that Texas has the clout to be a serious threat for any recruit they target in Louisiana.They have flipped Mike Davis and Toshiro Davis after both had been commited to LSU. They must still be relevant.

What recruits have switched from Texas to LSU in the last ten years?

No rational person would despute they have a brand name or that they could offer a lot. You however, are clearly living in the past because you don't realize LSU has become a brand name and offers a lot as well. That they flipped 2 guys from LSU, one of which was from Texas, is a meaningless anecdote. If they could just swoop in and take whoever they want, why haven't they tried before? It's not like Mack Brown just started there.

suspect that Texas has Mack's successor lined up.

Doesn't sound like it, but how is that relevant?

quote:
Brown was a good recruiter in New Orleana area at LSU and Tulane.
Please see success Brown had at North Carolina.He recruited New Orleans very well while at OU too.

All of that, except UNC was in the 1980's. 25-30 years ago

And who did he get from NOLA at UNC? Did you realize that LSU is a much different program now than in the early 90's?

quote:
Personally,I consider Texas a threat in Louisiana

Then you are either trolling or you are just one of those paranoid LSU fans that can't accept LSU is now one of the big boys. The days when other programs could come from out of state and offer more than LSU are over.

If Texas offered Frank Wilson a job he would listen. They have the money.

link? How the frick do you know what Frank Wilson would do? Oh and LSU has money too. I think LSU is the only school with 2 coordinators slated to make over $1M. Texas may have more money, but they can not offer any more to coaches that LSU could not afford to match.
