Lasteel,

wtf are you talking about? Two of those guys were committed here at one point and only 3 are probably guys that we will heavily recruit. Are we supposed to offer every marginal prospect instate? LSU needs to recruit elsewhere too. As has been said here numerous times, we have to be serious when we offer instate guys bc if we later decide to pull or make the offer conditional then that turns into a PR nightmare locally. Orgeron will handle this as well as it can be handled but to pretend out of state schools can't be more aggressive with marginal prospects is ignorant. There's a reason you're seeing us offer more of state guys early.

I agree. Some were committed here at one time. And I'm at the point I don't care what state our kids come from long as they are top shelf prospects. I do think everyone needs to chill out. LSU will solidify their coaching staff and there is a long time between now and NSD to mend some bridges in our backyard. I'm under the impression that the recruiting of these young men is evolving into something totally different than years past. It's becoming trendy to go to school out of state. It's not just a Louisiana problem it's a national trend. Our SEC West Crimson opponent only signed around 7 instate players from their own state. They pulled a ton of talent from the likes of Florida, Louisiana and other states. Hell they went to Hawaii and California for two 5 star offensive players that enrolled early. The state of Texas had a ton of their absolute best prospects sign out of state. LSU pulled some of their most prized prospects from other states. Unless a kid grew up a diehard Tiger fan then our coaches are going to have to really sell the program to keep them here. The world is now smaller my friends for obvious reasons and it's clearly obvious if everyone opens their eyes to what's going on in other states. Reel off some NC runs and a bunch of top 5 finishes and many of these kids will reconsider wanting to stay instate. It's a simplistic view but it's pretty much the truth.
