My concern isn't overall recruiting.

The concern is how it effects offensive recruiting and judging by the lack of high caliber QB interest in us, that concern seems at least worth considering.

We could very well end up top 10 in a given year and still have MUCH to worry about because, well, unfortunately, they still make us play offense too.

First of all, I see no reason to assume we'll win one more but even if we do, you're right, that alone would not be a valid reason to not come here. The abortion we call an offense and really have called an offense with the ONE year exception for ALL of the memories of current recruits most certainly can have an effect.

If you are 17 right now, all you know of LSU's offense is that it has basically sucked balls and hell, even the "great" year, we finished 36th.

17 year olds evaluating LSU really don't have any concept of what may or may not have occurred in 2007.

I agree that sub par offense can definitely affect recruiting. I think it has somewhat in the past. But it hasn't had a huge impact in the past. We got ODB and Juice in a year we threw for 9 touchdowns.

I definitely wouldn't say top QB aren't interested in coming here. Obviously the we don't have a top QB this year, but we've got a great shot at two of the top QB's in the country for 2016.
