Loyalty

The question of loyalty and state pride has come up a lot since C. Robinson has verbally committed to Alabama. What about the coaching staff’s lack of loyalty to in state prospects that are die hard LSU fans and have enough talent to play SEC football but do not get an offer from LSU because the staff has an out of state guy that they like more. Last year, LSU passed up on Noel Ellis from Karr who was an All- American and this year on Sims. Also, what is wrong with getting a quality recruit in the program to help you ensure the future commitments from more highly prized recruits? If offering a scholarship to a very talented DB in Ellis would help with Speedy and Willis, why not offer? If offering a scholarship to a very talented WR in Sims would help with C. Robinson, why not offer?

Wait Noel Ellis was an all American? When the frick did that happen? 
Getting one db last years prevents us from getting an Ed Paris, a tony brown, a devin voorhies, or a hootie jones. I'll take those 4 over a small db any day. An please do not refer to TM7 with Ellis, they are completely different players.

Premise is flawed.

I do not understand why people think Ellis and his bat shite crazy uncle will pull these kids to A&M, but guys like current LSU commit and Karr playerDonnie Alexander or current LSU player and Karr Alum Derek Endiburough will have no impact. Not to mention the long standing relationship Noil has with LSU recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson.

Sims was by all reports terrible at LSU's camp last summer and did not seem interested in coming to any of the events this year. There was no guarantee that offering him would have swayed Robinson or that Sims would have committed.

Don't like being held hostage. You say that LSU should have offered Sims because he is a fan. Supposedly so was CRob and he sold LSU out. Can't have it both ways.

There are only so many recruits LSU can take.
Offering Sims would not have guaranteed Cam...Period.
He seems to have been turned to the dark side long ago.
When LSU starts taking lesser recruits they will no longer be the Elite program they are..
As much as it would make you feel warm and fuzzy to take lesser recruits it just isn't feasible to keep the program where it is.
Bottom line: they are no Sure Things in recruiting..Only what you recruiting geniuses think there are...leave it to the experts..
Are you Noel's dad?

You are preaching to the choir, loyalty and respect has to go both ways!!!

C. Rob made his choice let him live with it. I will wish him no crystal trophy's or SEC c'ships.
Enjoy Bama it sure ain't LSU.

if I was a recruit reading this board I would probably leave state also, due to all the a-holes

1) LSU supports and has relationships with Louisiana high schools so it is not a one way relationship. LSU's athletic programs are generally speaking the best & most outstanding representations of Louisiana pride the nation can see. If you are proud of being a Louisiana kid and want to take part in that excellence you will be not only appreciated but loved and adored.
If you want to go to a different part of the country where you will not compete directly with LSU (like Notre Dame or Stanford) most will be sad to lose you but accept your decision. If you choose to go to Alabama when LSU desperately wanted you then you will be viewed as spitting in the face of state pride by many.
2) I understand the feelings of some guys who want to play for LSU but were not offered but if you weren't good enough to get an offer that an out of state kid got then they did you a favor - because that means you weren't going to get on the field.
You were not only not as good as the out of state kids you weren't good enough to beat out the in state talent this year either. That's exactly what happened to Sims. I suspect Sims gets processed at Bama but good luck to him because this year the talent in LA at WR was just too ridiculous to offer a guy who showed poorly at his prior camp and refused to camp again for the LSU coaches

It's always interesting to come to this board after LSU fails to get a recruit they and the fans really wanted. Sadly, many comments show just how pathetic some people are to get genuinely upset about where a 17-18 kid decides to go to school. I'm an LSU fan, and I'd love nothing more than to see my alma mater get the best recruits in the country and put the best team on the field year in and year out. However I see posters (not the OP) angrily lashing out at a kid because HE chose to go out of state to play football. Some posters argue that LA kids somehow are supposed to be "loyal" to their home-state, and therefore MUST attend LSU. At the end of the day it's that kid's life, and that kid's decision alone. While as a fan I'm dissapointed when a good player choose any school over LSU, I will never fault or lash out at a kid for deciding to go to school where he wants.
