for example, #1 player in the country Najee Harris, according to 247 doesn't have an lsu offer? committed to bama, probably a USC/Bama race, but why not offer all the top prospects you can?

I sure hope we land Akers, he is most important recruit to this class besides Brennan

that's not how recruiting works. you have limited time and resources. It involves more than just offering a kid a scholly. you have to put time into him and sell him your program and maintain that relationship.

and good luck telling a 5 star recruit like Akers that he's your guy when you're just blindly offering all the 5 stars you can.


Coach O also perfectly demonstrated a recruiting 101 mistake with the Myles Brennan situation. That's all the evidence you need

That's going to change going forward. I think the offer to Tua is proof of that.

If Kiffin comes here, he would be our opening to the west coast kids. That's why saban has Sarkisian on his staff.

Cause when we offer 5 stars, our 4 stars decommit.

our players in louisian dont always get as much recognition but prove to be just as good as those 5* nd 4*...for example travis etienne wasnt even on 247 or scout til after his junior year now he's a 4* with 5* talent...lsu would have been offered if they had known of his talent, but louisiana doesnt offer much exposure as the bigger states

Dude, we have the #5 class in the country with about 8 spots to go. We don't offer everybody, because some kids tell us that they have no interest in LSU. Your post is shallow. We go after top talent through-out the South and selectively nationally.

you don't ask the homecoming queen to the prom without first putting some feelers out to see if there is any chance she is interested.
