Big time recruits have a realistic dream of the NFL. They are looking for a place that is going to help them best achieve that. Coaching, scheme,exposure surrounding talent and playing time. The college experience is important but probably secondary.

LSU and Orgeron are viewed as a one hit wonder until we do it for a couple seasons. Every coach in the country is telling recruits Burrow is graduating and Brady is leaving.

Depth chart, pipeline to the NFL and relationships are much more important to on the field accomplishments.

for some it is and for others it isn't. Recruits, just like the rest of society, don't come out of some mold where they all have the same personality characteristics.
Some may just like being in a place like Nashville, Athens, or Austen and like the campus and college life there more than in Baton Rouge or Tuscaloosa. Some have always wanted to get out of state and some want to stay close to home. Some may want a degree in a particular major from a certain university and some don't care about academics at all. All kinds of considerations besides just being on the best football team they can get on.

NOw I think last night was huge though for recruiting, just how well Burrow came off and how emotional and inspiring it was and same for Coach Orgeron and LSU. Also LSU's current spot in the football world and the state of its football program is a big deal but it is not the end all be all.

Not even just big time recruits. Most of those kids on Last Chance U thought they were going to the league as well. I will never criticize lofty goals and dreams but you’re talking about kids who are barely good enough to play for SELA

Really not worried about it
For every recruit that backs out, another chance to find another diamond in the rough like Justin Jefferson or Cushenberry. LSU is never going to have a problem finding 25 kids a year that want to be Tigers!
For every 5 star you miss, it's that impact 3/4 star guy that can make or break a class.
