I can't remember Les ever coming on the local sports radio station here locally, ever. If he did, it wasn't recently (before being fired) and it had no effect in terms of recruiting or in-roads.

Now, listening to the interview I came away convinced we have the right man with the desire to MLSUGA.

He mentioned that Rashard Lawrence from here in Monroe (Neville High) was now the starting Right Defensive End. He proceeded to definitely set the hook in the listeners; that he wishes to make Monroe LSU territory for here on out. Spoke highly of McCarty (Neville) and Arledge at West Monroe. Mentioned the entire north part of the state.

Talked heavily about how TCU and Bama practically have been living up here for the last few years with coaches seemingly at the high schools whenever possible making connections with coaches and the community.

I am hoping that I see these coaches up here as often, if not more, these next few years...

Very good interview.

Smart move by him. There is a ton of talent up in the NE part of the state. Of course LSU will always lose a couple of the prospects here and there but to get a good hold on the area would be huge.

Isn't that a recuiting violation to speak publicly about specific players? Maybe I'm dreaming that.

Even though Monroe doesn't feel like Louisiana, we need to lock it up. Too much Bama

I am glad to see Coach O putting some effort into NeLa again....when Shows left, Saban started snapping up a lot of the talent from that area and that just pisses me off.

I'll never understand why Miles just seemed to write off the Monroe area the way he did. That class 5A district is, or at least was for a long time, one of the best in the state and we got a ton of great players out of those schools. Now, Alabama gets more than we do.
