LSU, we have a lot of talent in our own state. Just looking around the SEC there are LA kids on many rosters making a difference on their team. Some of those guys should be at LSU.

Let's start with TX A&M. LA players who will start or get lots of playing time.

Jonathan Stewart 6'4 237 LB ...could really use him next season.

Floyd Raven 6'2 187 CB ...will be a starter this season. Lock-down corner.

Deshazor Everett 6'0 176 CB ...will play alot this season.

2nd Teamers
Ivan Robinson 6'3 270 DT
Gavin Stansbury 6'4 265 DE
Tramin Jacobs 6'1 180 DB

Then they just picked up Julien Obioha 6'4 255 DE from N.O...not saying these guys could start at LSU, but some of them could really add depth to make a run at the National Title.

TENN will have 4 starters
Herman Lathers 6'0 225 LB from BR
Dallas Thomas 6'5 300 OT from BR
Prentiss Waggner 6'2 180 from Clinton
Darrington Sentimore 6'3 288 D'han
...more depth

They just picked up Davante Bourque 6'3 200 RB...oh, and don't forget we lost Justin Hunter to them also. It's okay, just talking about adding depth to blow away the TIDE!

Missouri Tigers
L'Damian Washington 6'4 195 WR from Shreveport. Could use him too.

Mississippi State
Dillon Day 6'4 300 OL
Dak Prescott 6'3 220 QB...and the one I really think we missed on - Ryan Brown 6'5 240 DE. I think he is going to be an outstanding player down the line.

Florida Gators
Damien Jacobs 6'4 290 DT - JUCO kid from La.

Auburn - they have 3 goods from the boot.
Greg Robinson 6'5 315 OL - he will be ALL-SEC and a pro.
Travante Stallworth 5'9 188 WR - will produce
Trovon Reed 6'0 183 WR - will produce in his Jr. season.

There are some guys that I may have missed, but just throwing this out there to show we have talent here in our own state. Not to knock what the LSU staff is doing now, but I like my La kids.

MS State is coming into the backyard and getting some steals. I know we can't get them all. But there are some good kids who really want to come and play for LSU in-state. Let's take a closer look at some of those guys before we just jump to the OOS guys.

Anybody know what happened to Vincent Taylor kid from TX. I thought he really liked LSU and was from La. I thought we should pick him up because he really had a motor.

Tell me what you think...

Tell me what OOS kids on LSUs roster you would replace with all these great Louisiana players

LSU has to go out of state. Louisiana doesn't produce enough QBs, Olinemen or LBs for LSU to be successful and compete for the SEC title every year

I think you're being a bitch. Be happy with what you have and faith that the coaches know what they're doing better than you.

I do not think you know what Lock-down means.

As I say over and over and over...

Why base the kids you choose to sign on something they have no control over??? These kids do not control where their parents choose to live. If some parents choose to move to Denver because of a better opportunity for employent (i.e. a better life for their children), that should have no effect on how desirable our coaching staff should consider their son for a scholarship offer.

Bottom line - I want kids who want to come play for LSU. As long as they have the talent, the academic ability, and are not likely to be bad seeds - sign 'em up.

I don't care if they come from Delhi, Louisiana or Delhi, India. That isn't their choice; that was their parents' choice.

I think when you start looking at the out of state talent we accumulate you should change that tune. We do a great job of keeping our players in state , obviously some slip past our nets.

OOS:
Montgomery
Adams
Brockers
Ego
Aghayere
Minter
Loston
Shep
MacLin
Williford
Ware

Just to name a few.

Loston
Ferguson
Ware
Shepard
J Collins
Wing
Mettenberger
Copeland
Dickson
Minter
Williford
Hurst
Montgomery
Boone
Rivers
-so which one of these OOS guys would you rather not have? This is not every OOS state guy just starters and other key contributors/backup QB

There must be something about Taylor that has turned major programs off. He did not receive an offer from LSU, Texas, A&M or OU. He took his best offer, which is OSU. Kind of a weird deal after the hype he was receiving.

From what I've read on Texas boards, it's strictly a talent issue with Taylor, nothing more. Seems like a great kid otherwise. But I think all of the programs you listed simply don't think he can play at a high ennough level.

The only players that you list here that would be on LSU's two-deep roster were in fact recruited by LSU. Sometimes you lose kids that you want. You can't get them all. If these other starters were starters at LSU then we'd be in the Music City Bowl rather than playing for a title.

*TENN will have 4 starters *
*Dallas Thomas 6'5 300 OT from BR *

I played football with this guy in highschool at Broadmoor, I was a senior and played running back and he was a junior and played OL. He did not even play as a junior, has great height and decent size but kind of a goofy kid and didnt have much a killer attitude. Good kid though!

Hey look people. I am not saying LSU has not done well with OOS recruiting. They have done outstanding!! Just don't want La kids to think that we are all about OOS players.

Hats off to the LSU staff !! They are outstanding!! Just hope they don't forget about the La kids.

Kent Shelby 6'2 185 WR - Reggie Wayne type kid
Ronald Lewis 6'0 180 ATH - can return kicks
etc.

and others who may be just as good as other OOS players that we are recruiting. I see nothing but OOS kids on tigerbait that we are recruiting and have offered. Just wondering where are the La kids?

That's all I am saying...home first, then if we have to go OOS. Oh well!

Have a great Father's Day for all of you fathers! And God Bless You!
