LSU seems to get only 4 Texans per year on average. The 2017 crop seems to have the potential to be the most impactful yet.

With A&M, UT and Baylor all on the slide, more Texans should be looking across the Sabine.

Yes, past efforts have been mostly successful.

When I first saw the subject line, I thought it was a play on words, since LSU currently has a pledge from defensive end Jarrell Cherry of Dallas Carter, one of the top defensive linemen in the state.

EJ holland (texas 247 site mod) told his subscribers to really start to worry about their commits and specifically mentioned jalen green we are targeting and he's listening.

Man, seeing 2012 above Corey Thompson is really strange. I mean, only 2 of the 2014 guys are even still on the team.

He sure did ball on Saturday. Hope he stays healthy.

It's ridiculous the amount of talent in the Houston area alone right now, God Bless Texas ;-)

Not sure if real question or a joke, but its 2020 RB Zachary Evans. He's the #2 back in the state behind Jase McClellan and he's already got an offer and two CBs to LSU

So with that list of players you have determined that LSU owns Texas because we pull 4 players a year from that state?

Did you see how many texas high school players that play d-1 football?

Pretty sure LSU has some former grads on staff there.

LSU could probably fill the entire class with 4 and 5-star Texas kids in 2018.. The state's 3 top programs are a laughing stock.

Not really, but it's (obviously) definitely in our interest for Texas to remain down.

UT is way ahead in top 10 talents in that period ('09 - '17) with 28 total.
Its painfully apparent how much their current performance is affecting their recruiting prowess.
21 of those 28 came BEFORE 2013 (averaging 5.25 every cycle).
After that they've averaged 2 per cycle.

LSU certainly took advantage of that. We've picked (only) 8 top 10 players out of Texas since 2009. 6 of the 8 (75 percent) came AFTER 2013.

That points to about 4 years of mediocrity before the in state recruits start going elsewhere (Texas went 13-1 and played in the national championship in 09. They went 30-21 from '10 to '13, and 16-22 since).

Look at the number of Texas kids LSU launched to the next level or will soon be at the next level and look at the number of kids the Texas schools launched in the $hitter!

Many in the cow pasture were counting on UT being down at the same time they were joining the SEC to get them over the hump (i.e. make enough waves on the field to be called top-tier or elite) recruiting wise.

Looks like they were on their way. Now it looks like they've pissed it away with poor coaching choices. Starting with Sumlin, including Chavis, but coordinators/position too.

A couple years from now (maybe now?) we may be able to look back and tie it to Sumlin. If the perception and actuality is that he was burning through coaches to save himself, then it indeed is on him.

ETA:
beneficiaries- most want to say TCU, but they were competitive anyway and their recruiting hasn't changed that much and have actually declined on the field compared to right after Mack was fired.

the real beneficiaries: LSU, Colorado, and OU

No expert in this stuff but if there were 3 Texas commits to keep an eye on I’d say the following and reason.
Jalen Green-From the 318 by can’t remember exact location, has family in or from Rayville, LA

Brennan Eagles-Mom is a Baton Rouge native and he was born in Baton Rouge

Keondre Coburn-Very Unlikely but goes to Spring Westfield. If you’ve been to Spring, TX or North Houston, you know that it seems that almost half the residents have Louisiana ties. One of the coaches on the Westfield staff went to Southern(Baton Rouge tie) but Head Coach at Westfield is the brother of the Texas TE coach. Same reason Herman was able to pull in Ed Oliver and almost Tyrie Cleveland
