I can only imagine the fricking shitshow it would be if LSU drew the line in the sand and the recruits came out and publicly said something to the effect of, "LSU didn't make me a priority, didn't make it feel like home to me."

That's not true though. LSU has been rolling out the red carpet for these guys for years now. How much more at home can they make it for these guys? LSU has shown them the love for this long and they still don't know that they want to play here? That's a red flag to me. And it's ok that they don't know. All I'm saying is that continuing to recruit these guys hard isn't going to change anything. In 4 years of recruiting these guys you've done all you can do.

Speedy and GW probably would say that something to the effect of what you said had LSU started recruiting heavily elsewhere, but they were looking for excuses to get out. LSU didn't give them those excuses but they still went elsewhere. It's the same end result. Hootie gave excuses. CRob gave excuses. All of these kids want to give excuses because they don't want to just say "I don't want to play at LSU." It's always because we didn't recruit their friends, or the offense, or we left their mom alone, or some other crap. No one wants to say "I don't like LSU." So if they said they weren't made a priority I would call BS all day.

Before the season, Speedy said that he wanted to go to a team that would use his talents the best. He thought that would be a clean out for him right there, since we all know what LSU's offense looked like last year. He didn't expect LSU to be as prolific on offense as they were, so he was stuck having to publicly consider LSU when he wanted to go to A&M all along.
