There are a lot of hypocrites in here. You hate recruits that leave the state and think they lack character, but you love players that do the same thing and commit to LSU from other states.

I hate that we are losing in-state players, but for many of us, it's the fact that they are going out of their way to take shots at LSU that's irritating. If a kid handles it with class, then wish him well and move along.

I do hope we see more LA kids not just show respect to LSU, but stay home, in the future. But with the way things are right now, it may take time and a few wins over Bama to "build a wall" strong enough to beat Saban back.

Couple of factors:
a) LA is a small state in which LSU is the uncontested flagship university. That's not the same as say in TX or FL and to a lesser extent GA; all of which we regularly recruit.

b) We have two high profile recruits from TN this year (Stevens, an EE, and Phillips). TN is more akin to LA with respect to recruiting than others so I'm sure UTenn would have like to have gotten both. But I don't think either trolled their in-state schools in leaving TN.
