I'd be shocked to hear we didn't show more love than Bama did.

Honestly I don't think we recruited this kid that hard. I simply think our coaches feel like they have some better prospects identified and those are the ones that our coaches are recruiting the hardest. I think we are in on some prospects that nobody on this board even knows about. If our offense looks good this year then I think we finish strong on some out of state prospects.

For those that are saying this kid is not all that good is nonsense. If that team east of us wants him then their staff thinks that kid can be productive for them. I've seen the kid play 3 times and he's very good. But he's not a Fournette or Guice that we are losing here so I'm puzzled why the uproar other than he's going to a team that we haven't beat in some years.

It's not like this is a LA only ssue. It's an every state issue. Bottom line that team east of us pulls the best players from Hawaii, California, Florida, Texas and anywhere else they can find them so our staff better be damn good at identifying grown arse men that are a good fit for what we want to do on both sides of the ball. We start beating their arse here and there and some of these defections will stop.
