Yeah I actually think the last 3 classes O has kept the in state talent pretty good. It seems like sospher was the biggest fish that got away and hes an enormous bust

There are reasons to criticize O. But his ability to keep in-state talent at LSU isn't one of them. Like you said, Sopsher is the only guy I can think of since 2018 who LSU REALLY wanted and didn't get.

I went through year by year on the RB a week or two ago, and there are only three top-10 LA recruits who have gone to Bama since 2018: Sopsher (2019), Christian Harris (2019), and Kaine Williams (2021). I don’t think we recruited Harris (though in hindsight we probably should have). Sopsher was a bust. And Williams would have been the #3 safety in our 2021 class.

People are still salty over Moses, Smith, etc. and I get that, but Orgeron has done a pretty good job of getting the LA guys he’s targeted since the interim year.
