re: How would OU/TX affect LSU recruiting?

This is just my opinion and I have no stats to back it up but I feel like it would have been a bigger deal in the Les Miles era as he more heavily relied on LA, TX, and FL to get the vast majority of his players.

O, on the other hand, doesn’t seem married to any particular area other than LA.

Basically I think if Les lost TX guys, he’s just sign lower rated LA guys to replace them while O will go find (or at least try) an equally rated guy in VA or GA or MD or CA or wherever and if he can’t find a suitable replacement, he’d find a transfer.
