Who did the recruiting during the Arnsparger years?



It certainly was not Bill as that was one of the main reasons he wanted out. Hated recruiting.


Staff was Archer as DC (he coached under Schnellenbeger at Miami as well) and Ed Zaunbrecker (spelling) as OC. I think the guy who has been on staff for a long time, Sam Nadar was kind of the recruiting coordinator.

That's from memory but I think Im pretty close. It was a solid staff. LSU suffered many years because of Prop 48, Louisiana high schools couldn't get players to met those requirements and the SEC only let you have 2 I think, at one point it was none. Where other schools (Like FSU or Miami) could come on into LA and take all these kids LSU couldn't get in school.

It was a fricking disaster and contributed to LSU's struggles as much as anything actually

Why do you keep claiming that the SEC (and, apparently, poor LSU more than the rest of the SEC) was the only group saddled with Prop 48?

Clip from history: FSU in 1989 and Prop 48 impact

And, btw, Prop 48 continued to be around for DiNardo and Saban early years, I believe.

I thought Prop 48 was for the whole
NCAA.

Anyway, Archer gave Scott Wharten (Chancellor Jim's son)a scholly to play on the D line. He would be a starter for Hallman because there was nobody better. Archer left an empty cupboard for Hallman and it took 4 years for Hallman to bring in enough talent for us to be competitive. Hallman could recruit and talk but nothing else (similar to Butch Jones).
