I know you guys & also our guys throw around DBU alot which I think lsu & Florida get good recruits on on that front but I do not look at either school as that or better than the other.

Problem is that the Coach & School you guys hate the most is without a doubt LBU and no other program is even close whoever he wants at Linebacker he gets and put them in the league.

Maybe those who haven't seen his pinned twitter handle with a picture of him, his family, and Saban. But in this crazy season, anything is possible

I have been watching recruiting since 2010ish and I have yet to see us win a recruiting battle with a player committed to Bama. We have won some that were LSU/Bama and we swayed them but these were never committed to Bama.

We landed one from Ohio a few years back, but he sucked and couldn't get on the field.

I think most people just cannot fathom Dylan and his family being the latest installment in a long line of elite Louisiana prospects (Landon Collins, Cam Robinson, Moses) to thumb their nose at LSU and help the Evil Empire continue its reign. So they won't believe it until it's EE day and he's in Tuscaloosa.

It also doesn't help that he gives people hope with positive statements about LSU.

In the end, one of (not the only, but one of) the biggest differentials b/t LSU and Bama is that Bama is able to pluck a few top 3 players from Louisiana fairly regularly. It's a double whammy: makes Bama better and LSU worse.

Moses - 5 star (probably get)
Divinity - 4 star
White - 4 star
Key - 4 star
Voorhies - 4 star
Garrett - 5 star (didn't work out)
Alexander - 3 star
Beckwith - 4 star
Riley - 3 star

I'm sure I'm missing some, but that's from our last four classes. I don't see why you people are complaining....


Actual LB recruiting last 4 years:

Divinity - 4 star '16
Thornton - 4 star '16
Anthony - 4 star '16
Martin - 3 star '16
Garrett - 5 star '14 (didn't work out)
Alexander - 3 star '14
Riley - 3 star '13
Jones - 4 star '13 (FB/transfer)

16 > 13 + 14 + 15



Guys you listed we did not sign as LB:

Moses - 5 star (probably get)
^ we'll see. Not in 4 year window you listed though, and we have only 1 LB committed so far this class

White - 4 star
^ signed as RB. Luckily switched immediately

(1)Beckwith - 4 star: signed as DE
(2)Key - 4 star: signed as DE
(3)Voorhies - 4 star: signed as S
^ all 3 spent (half for beckwith) season at those positions before moving to LB

Recruiting LBs has been the issue, not finding athletes on our team to play LB.
Essentially we convinced only five 4/+ star of eight total players to come to LSU to play linebacker in 4 years. 2 of which never panned out (garret/jones)

Imagine that at any other position group...

And this is why everyone gets a participation trophy these days. Before you type just to type please do a little research . Who was this stud from OH you speak of?

Our defense didn't suck, so why do you say "We suck again." Is this a read on our defense, or are you just angry and downtrodden all of the time? Secondly, it is NOT easy for HS kids to come into the SEC and start. Divinity
