re: Does Scott Long know something about our future recruits?

Seems his percentages are way off from what I've seen from other analysts

This and the answer is no.

I think it is just the reality of the situation. earlier in the year he had CRob as a LSU lock almost and the rest of the percentages higher. Reading what the recruits are saying to the reporters and their tweets, I think it makes all of us uneasy. People think that these recruits are just trolling and they are coming to LSU. That didn't work that way with CRob did it?

If you listened to Willis's mothers interview you could take a lot of positives out of it, but definitely negatives also. I personally feel LSU has work to do, not saying we will not get who we want that is left but they are not the locks that people claim them to be. Not being negative just being realistic.

I agree, everybody thinks everyone else on the board in LA is a lock when in actuality these guys are genuinely interested in other schools just as much. Although I think we get LF and the others, I'm not so sure about Hootie,Willis,Noil anymore!

to get people to read his site as to why his percentages are so low

Oh god!

He pumps sunshine, no doubt. That's not a bad thing.

Quite the opposite according to his rankings...

He knows a lot of people and talks to a lot of people and not only in Louisiana but also in Texas. He has a lot of sources that he talks to. I think he says what he hears from his sources.

I love recruiting but I am gonna be glad when this year is over

Not me.

Who wants to go back the Curly days when we were 100% locks on all the instate guys that were 2nd tier players?

If you're gonna go for the best, there's high risk, high reward, man. It's the only way to live.

This is where it's at:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
