re: Loyalty

Interesting that the idea that Jones going to Bama to join Sims and CRob was beyond belief not too long ago! I basically got laughed at for mentioning that not offering Ellis would make A&M an option for Speedy.

Once again, I AM NOT Ellis's dad! I'm from the New Orleans area and enjoy going to high school football games. Talking to the fans at Karr games, I'm not surprised that these guys went elsewhere. The coaches have to remain loyal to these recruits who are on the cusp of elite to ensure we lock down the state. Even Curtis fans (and coach Curtis) are turned off by LSU not offering Young early on. When MD is on the line, why would you not offer an All American linebacker?

LSU will finish with a good class but the lesson learned is that there has to be a more strategic approach to recruiting instate talent.
