Corey Raymond vs LSU targets

The Corey Raymond first day on the job picture where he wore a polo that looked like he picked up from a stuckey’s on the way to Gainesville and frowning might be the best pic I’ve seen in a while

Corey Raymond is great at finishing second. We'll be just fine.

Thanks for making my afternoon

Is Jacoby making another visit to LSU before February?

Billy would be an absolute idiot not to capitalize on his resources and relationships in Louisiana.... a talent rich state where he just coached for 5 years.

If Napier can’t come in and beat LSU (good luck sparring with Frank), Bama and A&M simultaneously for LA’s top players, then he will absolutely be wasting his fricking time. What would you put his odds at building up an NIL infrastructure that’s even more behind than ours, and then coming over here to beat out the home team and two of the best recruiting staffs in the history of college football? Think about what an uphill battle you are talking about there. His time at ULL doesn’t automatically get him a seat at the high stakes table. He’s not Saban, who coached here and won a title, or Fisher with his own title and a spot on our border. He won’t be a consistent player for top talent in LA unless/until he wins something at UF.

So then what’s the point? There is absolutely no reason for him to come over here looking for 3 and low 4 star sleepers when he’s at one of the 3 flagship programs in an even more plentiful state for talent.

Yes

Would it be a waste of time for LSU to recruit a highly rated player in Florida?

1 or 2 per class right now- no. Same goes for anywhere else. Trying to go after multiple high 4 and 5 stars in Florida and trying to establish some kind of foothold there- yes, it would absolutely be a waste of time and resources. Some of you act like Napier and his staff can and will do the later here in LA, but it would be a waste with little short-term benefit.

For different reasons, both LSU and UF have lost a step at home in the last year. Mullen turned off high school coaches all over the state while Norvell took advantage of his arrogance and stupidity. O just let go of the rope and allowed everything to slip and we finally felt it in recruiting this year.

I’m sure both programs will have targets OOS, but either staff would be stupid to not spend the majority of their energy the next two cycles repairing damage at home and in their neighboring states,rather than trying to establish footholds elsewhere.

Just to let you know LSU and Etienne were never going to be a match.

He just grabbed Etienne. We could have used him. Don't fool yourself on that.

Neither LSU staff showed real interest in him.
