re: Lincoln, these playoffs rankings are a sign: it’s time to come to LSU

Cool. Louisiana has always been consistently among the top five in players per capita in the NFL, and LSU (won 3 NC’s since OU won last) is the only power 5 school in the state. We don’t need a wide geographic foot print. But nonetheless we poach our fair share of players from Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Texas, and California, which are the states that matter in terms of recruiting “nationally”.

I would bet that we have a wider geographic recruiting footprint than LSU does right now and we aren’t even in the SEC yet.

You may get recruits all over, but not as many of the higher rated defensive guys in the southeast to come all the way out there. Yes, you may get a couple of studs here and there (like you have right now.) However, overall, I'd say LSU has a much larger advantage here.
