So if this is the philosophy, why do we continue to recruit 4 and 5 star QBs and WRs to not use to the best of their ability. If I were a 4 or 5 star athlete, I would really have to take into consideration how the current crop of athletes recruited the last couple of years are being "used".

you want lsu to recruit 1 star players?

good grief. if this isn't happening, how is lsu winning so many games against good teams? how do you think things should be different?

players come to lsu because they know they have a good chance of 1. winning 2. going to the nfl. for example, someone posted that all of lsu's starting wr's from '11 to '13 are in the nfl. this seems counterintuitive since lsu is run heavy. one big reason is because they learn how to block which is valued in the nfl. it seems like you're not considering this.

I think that most of the top recruits want to compete for championships and have the opportunity to make a living for a few years in the NFL. If you have talent, they will find you. (see James Wright). When we have the right guys, we throw more (see Mett, JLee 2011, Jamarcus, Flynn) or you could say we are more "balanced". If we are better running the ball, we do that, because it gives us a better chance to win.
