Sorry guys, bored on a Saturday morning so I am watching tape.

IMHO Louisiana doesn't have excellent Linebacker recruits year after year. The Southeast has treated us well however I really like the midwest for backers (CG3). Check out these two Indiana 2015 backers tape. Bilal is my favorite due to his speed and athleticism but Barajas is just violent and I love it!

Ashmar Bilal ILB 6-3 201 Ben Davis HS Indiana LINK

Where are some areas you guys see great linebacker talent that LSU could start recruiting?

Perry Riley
Kevin Minter
Kelvin Shepherd

What do those 3 have in common, besides being the 3 best LBs we've had in the past 5-6 years?

Florida. With the work Raymond is doing that might be a viable option

Barajas likely commits to ND today.

Just scour the SE and Texas while looking everywhere for the top guys. Lots of quality LBs out there so just work and land a couple. We should be all over Malik Jefferson and should have been months ago. Not likely to get him but he's not the TAM lock most assume he is. Make him say no.

I would start right off of Highland Rd at McKinley High and take a hard look at Kirk Louis, a 6'2 235lb MLB, then head over to Claycut Rd, Catholic High and peruse Javahn Ferguson, both of whom would kill to be Tigers...

Those two you linked are both legit. Only Ashmar Bilal has the elite SEC speed. Did you see him house that kick return

Maybe with our recent success in Illinois we can get a visit from him. Hope he's on LSU's radar.

Mississippi always puts out talent. I would bet that next to louisiana they are right up there with putting out NFL talent per capita. Ms is what La was 3 or 4 years ago. The word is out on Louisiana recruits. Everyone know that there are hidden gems. Mississippi is still relatively untapped with the major schools. A few good linebackers that have come out of Ms off the top of my head in the last few years in channing Ward and the linebacker from Long Beach High a few years ago could be special if they were on a worth a shite team and Lee Lewis is a special player this year. I believe there is a lot of talent in Mississippi it just isn't developed the way it is in Louisiana. The coaching here is better period IMO. But Mississippi is right next door and a potential market for solid Lbers each year.
