Getting beat by hometown players

How is it possible that we continue to lose to teams with Louisiana players???? Maybe our recruiting is the root cause of our problems. We can't continue to lose the top LA players to other schools. Until we fix the recruiting problem, we will be an also ran team. The top two players in the state this year are committed elsewhere.

The old "stay home and play for LSU" sales pitch means nothing since NIL. These kids are getting lots of money to go elsewhere and we are going to have to figure out how to compete. Otherwise we will be Portal State University every year.

Because some Louisiana players want to get the heck out of Louisiana like Keon Coleman.

We need to be able to recruit all over and not just Louisiana. See bama and uga. The idea that f staying in state is over as we knew it. Every game is on tv. The world is more open to moving around. Plus there are many who see an opportunity to get out of Louisiana bc of the shite hole area they live in.

Coleman would not help us, you have to be able to deliver the ball

And block lmao. And tackle. And get pressure. And cover somebody. LSU has so many problems.

It would've helped IF he wasn't playing against us.

Some dudes just don't wanna stay in state. Same reason a lot of people are leaving for out of state jobs after graduating college. Keon coleman literally said he was recruited out of high school and in the portal by LSU and just didn't wanna play in state.

He didn’t have a commitable offer in HS and had sour grapes about it so he wasn’t interested once he entered the portal.

Look at Ohio State.
They are snatching kids from GA, TX & FL to go to the frozen wasteland (I grew up there) that is Ohio. I'd say that's a tougher job than getting kids from wherever to LSU. Yet they do it every year and very well...

Baton Rouge is a tough sell. We went to 5 SEC schools this summer on recruiting visits and they all had features much cooler than anything BR has. Returning to Gainesville this weekend for an unofficial…everyone says that place is a shithole, but it was cool this summer. We’ll see how it looks when crowded. Going to Oxford next weekend.

In 2019 every good team we played had a Louisiana guy as one of their best players.
Oklahoma - Cee Dee lamb
Clemson - Etienne
Bama - Devonta Smith

You're right LSU never offered. He wanted to play both football and basketball in college. Maybe that was a problem for LSU, or maybe it was because he was a very raw product in football.
He committed to Kansas, but decommissioned. He had decided to go to Tulane, so maybe that narrative of just wanting to get out of Louisiana has just become our excuse when we miss on a recruit.
At the last minute, Michigan State offered, and he went there. Played basketball and football, but didn't blossom in football until last year.
His family includes a lot of LSU fans, and Randy Livingston was one of his mentors. I believe he would have signed with LSU if offered. By the time he entered the portal, he was bitter toward LSU. Still is.

Ross Dellenger has an article on the Yahoo College Football page that details it all. He talked with Coleman's family, and he apparently was not offered by LSU. His mother even paraphrases a Bible verse, referring to LSU as an enemy.

I guess they didn’t realize that we fired the guy that didn’t offer him?!

That's fricking pathetic, man.
So is hate for LSU supposed to bring him success in the NFL?
What a chode.
