It isn't splitting hairs. The players you referenced had either already enrolled at Alabama so they were done with recruiting or they had already left for the NFL, so they weren't Tigers anymore.

In both threads, I was making larger points about the lying that happens in recruiting and about the way that guys are making decisions to go to the NFL. I didn't bash Collins or Hill when they were still thinking about it.

So potential recruits are off limits, but players who've gone to the pros or passed on LSU are ok to bad mouth?

ETA MY point is, how we treat former players and players we've shown interest in is just as important how you treat the potential players.

It is splitting hairs, talking about Louisiana kids who went else where in a negative fashion is the same thing as those talking about recruits going on other recruiting trips. It doesn't look good from a recruiting perspective neither does talking ill of former players who actually wore the purple and gold.
If you want to look at it from you shouldn't "bash" the program or players, you should follow your own advice and leave local kids alone just because they didn't make a decision you like and leave former players alone just because they made a decision you don't agree with.
