Kids talk. The 5* DE from the 2021 class we are recruiting heavily is tweeting about it. The kids are aware that LSU will accept your commitment and continue to evaluate you until something better comes along even if you’re committed for a long time. I know everyone does it but doing it around the Houston area is dangerous. This cycle, we have gotten into the Washington DC area and Other areas we do not recruit as often. However, Houston is where our bread gets buttered in Texas. If you don’t think this will have an impact on the elite players in the Houston area for 2021, you are mistaken. The #1 ranking and Heisman trophy winner will pay dividends but it’ll only last so long in the what have you done lately word of recruiting. Sky isn’t falling but I think this one is gonna sting for a little while

hindsight i know

but i remember at the end of last years recruiting cycle lsu was scrambling to fill the class up and the majority agreed that lsu should find a way to take a full class regardless of “stars” because next years class wasnt a guarentee

hate losing some of the these players

I disagree.

This is a unique year.

Coach O doesn’t have this pattern in previous years. We’ve never been competing over this many elite players before. It’s a result of on the field play. 2021 and 2022 players now know we can win the West and overcome Bama. So I don’t think this will happen. I bet many of these elite players wanted to see if we can get over that hump.

And here we are. Unique year. Not a pattern. Won’t hurt long term.

yeah, it is doing whatever the exact opposite of falling is

we are about to have the best recruiting class we have ever had, we have become a national brand in recruiting on par with Bama, Clemson, and Ohio St, and you are talking about the sky falling? Sometimes really good players who you would die to get in the past you just don't have room for. Bama been there for years and never seems to slow them down or hurt them and it isn't going to hurt us

I agree with you... not a fan of processing Byrant. Gaye and Taylor are lower risk players that could be processed with little to no damage. Bryant, on the other hand is about as high a risk as a new orleans or baton rouge kid.... and Bryant been out there recruiting for us.

Going from a 2* or 3* kid to a 4* or higher is one thing. But processing a very strong 4* player for another (especially given the above circumstances) to me in an unnecessary risk.
