re: Can LSU realistically expect to land any 4 or 5 star recruits out of FL now?

This is the essence of the rant right here. Ignorant doom and gloom thread.

Go back & read my ENTIRE original post.


That said, I coached HS football in Florida for a few years. I watched schools like UCF, FAU, FIU, & USF continue to quietly build their facilities to a respectable level thanks to Florida Pre-Pay. Google it to learn all about it.

On top of that, USF & FAU are basically on some of the most beautiful water & beaches in the country. Boca Raton recruits itself & Kiffin will use every ounce of that to his advantage. Now they have big name coaches, both who have been a part of National Championships.

Also, do not discount the growing fact that KIDS today don't want to leave their home areas in droves. They love to play as locally as they can, particularly lower income top flight Florida athletes.

Add it all together & you've got a ridiculously rich talent pool in the state that now has very little reason to leave their home state.

So I ask again, is it even worth the trouble? We have our own state full of talent with no competition in state. We have a strong foot in the state of Texas which is now going to be easier to poach with TAMU sliding backwards & UT can only take so many. Baylor is a dumpster fire.
