Yep.
It's ridiculous to think anymore that if LSU loses out on a prospect that they can't find one just as good.
I've come to realize there's not THAT much difference in talent between alot of these 4 and 5 stars. Sure, they look fine in their high school video highlights, but once they get to campus, it's a completely different story. There are learning curves, putting on weight, etc etc. There's no ONE recruit that will factor in LSU's W/L record on a yearly basis. Especially when the depth chart is pretty deep.
Just a stance I'm going to keep. It's ridiculous to get so worked up over an in-state kid anymore when LSU has proven they can go out and hand pick anyone else. If LSU were at a level of, let's say.....a UNC or a Oregon St. where landing a big time recruit does matter because they're rare, i can see the arguments.
But LSU is at a point now where they can recruit anywhere in the country and land big time prospects.
Much repeck to you Egg, but I just don't agree with the stance.

For the most part you are correct. LSU can replace recruits if we miss on a player. There are rare examples when that's not true though. Such as the case of LF for example. It's not like there are 5 other running backs like him we can choose from this year. With the style of power running game Les likes to employ LF would be valuable. LF holds the cards in this recruiting year. In the case of CamRob LSU is recruiting other O-Line prospects they can plug in.
