I understand that some folks may get a lil offended with the underbelly of this jugggernaut,big time SEC college football but their in lies the delema for one to ponder, we as fans & consumers of LSU athletics the buyers of the LSU the brand , LSU the product, have expectations to compete at the highest level and contend for sec/ national playoffs year in and year out and with those expectations comes consequences to those who have the responsibilities of completing this task and keeping this money machine rolling. Their jobs are to produce the winning results by any means necessary WITHIN THE BY-LAWS&LAWS of the NCAA with some type of moral integrety and that becomes the task of every program that has those goals & aspirations of CONTINUED SUCSESS & proffit margin , and that's just basic facts so when you put it all in perspective it's not really hard to understand that inevitably all this recruiting competitivenes etc will lead to 17&18yr old high school de-commits ,re affirming commitments ,schools Flipping commits , last minute offers to a kid late that may have not gotten an offer with out another kid somewhere that left LSU at the Alter, or fliped to another rival school on the eve of signing day ,Telling some kids late that they may have to part ways or not accepting a kids commitment ,all of this happens on a yearly basis at every school but this is a result of the expectations we have for the program and wanting to buy a winning product. Like my little league coach when he asked me this 42 years ago ,He Said I got one question ,Does it feel good to win ? To be a winner , to be the best ,Does it make you feel good inside ? Well there's ramifications and consequences for our thirst for victory , for every winner there is a loser for every win there is a lose ,and a winning attitude starts and ends with THE CEO, and just like the CEO of a fortune 500 company to maintain continued success there are many decisions that have to be made that are tough and even unfair and may offend folks but it has to be done and the most respected winningest coaches nowadays with recruiting limitations etc. Will continue to make these decisions and the ones who navigate this CFB landscape will be compensated very nicely and you who have the opinion of ,"this is not fair", and "oh no not a local kid ",even though the recruiting experts say the other kid is rated much higher with NFL1st round ability/upside that some believe is ,dare I say ,a silent commit and even if it's Webb or another top rated DL 5*recruit they feel better about ,whatever the reason ,it's the coaches decision if he wants to compete and be successful and keep the train rolling or get to the top,then being a great recruiter and building relationships at every level of recruiting and making tough decisions and being fuid will continue to be required and we demand it so yeah it sucks for some kids I'm sure and we may not ever know some of the negative inside details bc every situation may be different but we know it happens ,it's been happening and it happens at every big time program at some point but
