re: Gerald Willis and Frank Wilson

Going OOS if you are really good and have success probably works out. However if you don't have success it's a lot easier if you are close to home.

I'll say it again, when you don't recruit the BEST players no matter where they live, then you are going to get played if you depend on the hometown discount.

And in GW's case, blood is thicker than water. LSU and FW should have seen this coming and recruited some OOS prospects. GW doesn't need LSU to succeed. But we needed him if he was THE guy we thought we had.

It's like the guy who doesn't buy health insurance because he doesn't get sick. As long as things go to plan (aka The Fence), its all good. But when it goes not to plan, you're screwed....

and that is not on GW.
