Nowadays it’s almost as important to be 2nd place for a recruit imo

They’ll be the first call when he transfers out after the first or second year

Yea completely out of touch.

Bag matters but having someone that can sell the program and have kids and parents buy in still matters.

If the kid is only interested in the bag you probably don’t want him on the roster

Sorry, but I think Frank Wilson is very overrated.

I understand and I agree. This is the new reality. You can have the best relationship in the world but if Texas offers a kid 1.5 million more then what is the kid supposed to do? Turn down even more life changing money because they really like a coach? The highest bidder > greatest recruiter on earth.

But having said that, Coach O is one of the biggest personalities in sports. Most coaches in college football aren't household names. You couldn't pick most head coaches out of lineup to save your life. So to have someone of Coach O's stature out there representing LSU and making moves, that's not going to hurt. Coach O was one of the best in the business back when you had to pay players under the table. I'm sure he'll do fine now that he can openly make things happen for these players.

If the money is close and Lane Kiffin and Coach O are telling you that they need you in Baton Rouge, I like our chances.

Frank was very overrated and should have been fired for what he was pulling with Lamar and Anderson.

Frank is washed, his rb rotations weee terrible and he isn’t half the rb coach we have now.

We’ll know this for sure if he can start pulling inner city kids from the Karrs and St Augs of the world. No one has been as effective in that area as FW. In fact, I can’t recall any top 10 recruits Ed O ever pulled out of Nola.
