honestly, I don't really keep up with kids if they don't go to LSU. I move on to the next group of guys.

I don't really have a favorite that didn't choose LSU. There are a lot of guys who handled their recruitment well, and I wish them the best of luck and hope they all have long and wonderful careers.

However, if they are not playing for LSU, I've lost interest.

I did really like how Cam Robinson handled hsi recruiting. Although he chose Bama, he did it the right why. He was blasted on here by a lot of people, but it wasn't deserved. He never misled anyone, gave LSU a fair shot and was humble.

I don't see why people care about losing Tony Brown. We're stacked at CB, have highly rated corners coming in, and I imagine very few, if any, of you have seen Brown actually playing corner. His highlight tape is like two minutes long and doesn't really show off any elite skills. He's a camp warrior with Olympic track aspirations, and it's not like he'd start over White/Robinson these next two years, so I don't think losing him is a big deal at all.

Darian Claiborne & Holland Jr

I would say GW3, but the latest I've heard on him(been a while), it's unclear whether he'll be able to play or not..

I would also like to add Holland Jr and it was more us not choosing him than him not liking us. Guy has great hands, runs good routes, is 6'3 over 200lbs, ran a legit 4.5, and probably sub 4.5 on a good day. Of course it won't matter because of Quinn and Dupre, but man, I love that skill set.

Barely missing out on Cordarelle Patterson really hurt the 2012 team.

We honestly could have run the table if Mett had him as a weapon outside. Those close losses to Florida and Bama are Ws imo with that one player.

Lol @ Applewhite. Was class/teammates with him since 7th grade. He hated LSU. Hated. So I wouldn't say we missed out on him, exactly, as we never really had a chance.

RG3 also and Chris Hardeman. Before he decommited
from LSU, he encouraged other recruits to consider the Tigers and seemed to leave with more positive feelings about him by fans, perhaps because we knew LSU was going to bring in other highly rated DB's.

Lately? VH3 and it aint event close

Throughout all of Miles' tenure? Shoutout to Deandre Brown. Someone else mentioned him, but I wanted him at LSU so bad. Was also a huge proponent of RG3 even when we told him and that skinny kid from Miami we'd bring them on as athletes not QBs.

Damn you Crowton!

Watching Timmy annihilate Auburn's OL really made me cringe that we missed out on him. How huge would he have been for us this year?

Malik McDowell; but I guess since we got TV, Clark and others, it made up for it. My next one would be Adoree, but I think our secondary can hold it down until KT3 gets here. Which leaves me with either Cam Rob or Myles Garrett. Maybe even Kenny Young.
