Listen I know it sucks ... But it will get better

I think we will look who we have on the board left
Leigh: Seems heavy Lsu
Foreman: Lsu Lean but not over yet
Smith: Seems Like LSU lean but georgia is in it
Ryan: Family connections to LSU seems like a lean
Thomas Jr: To quiet to tell

Obviously there are more but some are were not getting like mckinistry

Like I said we are starting to establish the culture but some got to do whats best for them

I agree we have to change the culture. Right now, the culture is bolt for the NFL at the first chance you get.
Imagine if this team had:
Chase
Vincent
Shelvin
Saahdiq Charles
Cushenberry
Thad Moss

We would be 3-0 right now. Say what you want, but Alabama, Ohio St, Clemson don't lose players like this. They don't lose 4-7 round picks as Juniors. Alabama had 3 players that could have been 1st rounders come back: Najee Harris, Devonte Smith, and Alex Leatherwood. There is no way those players stay for their senior years at LSU.

Don't hear what I'm not saying though. I'm not saying any individual players should have stayed or should have left early. I'm just saying we have to do a better job of convincing them to stay or we will never be on their level consistently.

It will be a failure if LSU doesn't land these guys

We need more DBs. Specifically corners in this Class.

Transfers from McNese are going to cripple us

We have been horrible in recruiting our current players to come back. Probably the worst in the entire country. If that doesn’t improve, we will never reload.

This is wrong. The reason we're in the mix for the #1 class in 2021 and 2022 has a lot more to do with LSU's 2020 draft class and the number of tigers in the nfl than it does with our national championship. You think we're recruiting guys like Arik Gilbert telling him he'll be at LSU for 4 years? If a recruit asks coach o where coach o sees him in 4 years, do you think o is gonna say "i see you competing for a national championship in your senior season"? Hell no--he's gonna say "i see you buying your mom a house with the millions of dollars you'll be making".



The fact of the matter is that the more kids we put in the NFL, the more stud recruits we'll get, and the better our odds will be to compete for national championships. It's pretty damn hard to tell a kid to come back to school when he has literally nothing left to accomplish. Lack of success "recruiting juniors" isn't our problem at all; I guarantee that we'd have had more guys back from last year's team if we hadn't won it all.

You putting out names to just put out names. A couple of those guys didn't opt out per se. They transferred out.

Recruiting has its place and it’s important, but if you can’t get guys to understand the defense, even if they are world beaters, it won’t make a lick of difference. We have more than enough talent on defense right now to beat most of the conference and most of the nation and yet we got absolutely abused defensively by two teams who combined in their other two games have scored 31 points and 16 points. Those teams are bad. Period. And LSU is so poorly coached defensively that they made each of those teams look like legit threats in their respective divisions.

How do we rebuild our roster if we only have 68 scholarship players and get back to the 85 limit or whatever it is
