re: Ishmael Sopsher will likely be a day one starter at LSU

I'd personally love for O to succeed, anyone who does good for LSU should be appreciated.

However, losing out on Sopsher would be seen as really really bad, and there's no way to spin it, especially if it's to Alabama. You either get those type of kids to start beating the likes of Bama, or it will never get better because they still can come in and hand pick some of the best in our own state. The issues around that area have been known for YEARS, doing nothing to fix it and just continuing to say Bama runs that area doesn't help the situation.

Shut them out and get the best to stay home. A LOT of folks gave Orgeron a pass when he was interim and we lost Smith, Mathis and Allen because it was a transitional year. He's now 2 classes in and when the talent gets rich in the state like it has for 2019, he needs to do what he said and keep those top kids here. Even he wouldn't make excuses now.
