Sounds like he's just admitting that Rivals rankings are crappy. Is he blaming LSU because Rivals (and others) overrated the players he mentioned?

Exactly. The article is obviously biased towards the state of Texas. Jalen Mills was a 3 star recruit from DeSoto Texas and all american as a true freshman. 57 tackles 38 solo, 7 passes defended with 2 picks. In his very first year playing in the SEC. He could have at least mentioned that

Stop recruiting in Texas? That's about the stupidest thing I've heard in a long long long time.

That is a terrible article. He either didn't really research it or he just came up with a conclusion of his own and omitted some facts to support the bs conclusion.

I have nothing against any school so I am fine with writing both sides of the story!

So he wrote both sides of the story and used some of the same players to justify both arguments?

How do people pay him to write articles?

This was like those Advocate articles about LSU should stay in the SEC/leave the conference. Dumb.

How can a "writer" come up with two articles about the same topic with vastly different conclusions within hours of each other? This is the worst cater to your reader job I've seen in a while. I like that his name is Dallas though.

Looks like he read our feedback on this thread... Ron Brooks, Matt Flynn, Michael Brockers, Jarrett Lee, Brandon Lafell, Jalen Mills. That's a better article.

Pretty much, he constructed a suitably limited experiment that would support his BS preconceived conclusion.

For the record, he is not a Texas school stooge, he is actually a Yankee. However, he is a hack that is trolling LSU fans.
