7 TX Commits in the Last 3 Years

I think the idea that Texas and OU joining the SEC is going to seriously impact our recruiting might be over blown. We get way more out of Georgia than we do Texas. Even if we lost half of the Texas recruits to UT, that averages about 1 a year. A&M‘s class is about 85% Texas kids, so I get where their anxiety comes from.

I don't see it as a big deal. There's a plethora of talent from Texas. Same could be said as to SEC states. LSU recruits nationally. You cannot be sacred to go up against anybody.

If we have success against them it will greatly help us in those territories

Beat em on the field again and we will win over recruits, not all, but I don't think this will hurt Lsu much, I mean shite, we lose La. kids every year, and we end up being just fine, we are LSU baby!!

Frankly, it should be more.
If we hadn't missed on several OL and DL over the years it would be probably 75% higher.
I'm frankly confused how this affects recruiting at all, good or bad. I mean aren't we already recruiting against the same schools for the same players anyway? What really changes- same pitches, same facilities, same visit lists, same recruits.

and if we continue to beat ut and faggie we will get more out of Tx.

The schools and conferences more adversely impacted will be places like Oregon, USC, Stanford, UCLA, the Arizona Schools, Oklahoma State and non-SEC Florida Schools who have occasionally lured quality talent out of the State of Texas. Texas Schools adversely impacted will be TCU, Baylor and SMU.

I also think this might strengthen the State Pride mojo for a lot of kids. Like Little badass Louisiana that knocks out bigger Texas schools twice a year. Louisianimal and all that.

I think it’s going to help us. Texas and Oklahoma are going to be mid tier teams. I think Oklahoma actually takes a hit in recruiting

A&M has already cut into our Texas recruiting. That was LSU’s concern in them joining the sec. Texas coming in will significantly impact A&M’s recruiting base more than anything.

Over the whole state it will hurt some. Have to stay strong in Houston and SE TX though.
FTR, LSU has a very strong and healthy presence in Houston.

It was a bigger deal in the Miles era

The last 3 years are an anomaly. Louisiana, although extremely talented per capita, just doesnt have enough volume of SEC difference makers that can produce 9+ win seasons every year.
LSU wants to be able to win recruiting battles in Texas, Florida and Georgia while locking down Louisiana. That is the winning formula. Cherry picking a few national recruits may now turn into must get several national recruits in order to dominate. This is easier said than done.
Anyone doubting that Texas and OU coming into the SEC will change the recruiting dynamic for LSU is mistaken.
LSU used to be on the far Southwest border of the SEC and had a strategical advantage of not being boxed in. And had talent rich Texas, expecially Houston, right down the road. A&M was winning a few battles each year like it was, especially with Fisher most recently.
Excuses are for losers and LSU must and will adapt but those 2 new powerhouses arriving will present challenges including locking Louisiana players away from the newcomers, gumps and A&M, which is even more negatively affected by this than the Tigers.
Dont have a couple of bad years in a row at their expense......
Winning cures everything.

Texas, A&M & Oklahoma all being in the SEC will actually help LSU recruiting in Texas.

UT , A&M and OU have in the past gotten the best players in Texas and will continue to in the future. I don't see that changing

Bama has hurt LSU’s Texas recruiting efforts as much as A&M and Texas have. Feel like they’ve been plucking the guys who want to get out of state that use to end up at LSU.

“Win with us or lose to us.”
If we go with that who cares where they’re from.
