I would imagine Coach Corbin would tell you he made plenty of stupid calls.

Something PM would never do.

I really don't know, but if we had vastly superior talent than he had to have made a few coaching blunders. I don't blame him. It happens.

With PM the last 6 years... it happens often. Kentucky and Ole Miss this past year during the regular season were epic.

You understood my point that UCLA and Florida are still far superior academic institutions when measured up to LSU.

What else do those two teams have in common? They get to recruit Florida and California. It's not that they're "top tier" academically that brings the best players. It's that they have a huge pool of players to chose from. Stanford was the same way. UC Irvine. Cal State fullerton. Florida State (talk about coaching frick ups). Miami. Always power houses. It's the state they're in.

But if you're not catching on that the teams outside of LSU in the recruiting rankings are either private or public ivy institutions, then I don't know what to tell you. It just seems clear going forward that if top recruits are going to turn down all of that money, they want an excellent education.

Public Ivy? That's a new one. It still doesn't change the fact that LSU gets great recruits and that it's because of the facilities... the exposure... the fan aspect... and Alan Dunn.
