LSU loaded up and to criticize this class shows you're ignorant to recruiting

It's easy to tell who knows what they're talking about and who has no clue about recruiting. First, LSU's class is absolutely loaded and going to get better. If you finish in the top 10 in recruiting, you had an incredible year! If you finish 10 to 20, you still had an outstanding signing day. Those 21-35 still very good.

The first thing you have to understand is college football and recruiting have absolutely nothing to do with college when you're talking about the elite players in the country. It's about winning at all cost, period. What you see on signing day is window dressing.

The real story is what you don't see. By the time a recruit is ready to sign on the dotted line, the schools have exhausted every avenue thinkable. They've dealt with street agents, so-called "uncles" or "advisers, close relatives, girlfriends and parents to name just a few. Money, cars, houses and jobs and just about anything you can think of has been discussed and sometimes delivered to some recruits. Even then, that doesn't guarantee you're going to get that recruit.

The reality is recruiting is a dirty and filthy game and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. I've read where some so-called fans were criticizing Coach O for missing on some recruits. That's ludicrous! They currently have 3 5-star players and the possibility of adding one or two more! It's not uncommon for a recruit to tell a coach he's coming and he ends up not coming. It's just part of the game. Even if you get them to sign that doesn't mean they're going to stay.

For instance, Alabama's top ranked signed recruit from last year's class is now at Colorado less than a year later. It's recruiting. You give it your best shot and you let your chips fall where they may.

The general rule in recruiting is if a team can have 60 percent of it recruiting class become contributing players, then you've hit a home run. The reality is many recruits will never pan out and never see the field for one reason or another. It's recruiting.

I read yesterday where Vol was taking a break from posting because of some of the idiots on this site. It's clear Vol knows what he is talking about and has inside connections to great information. A few years ago, I had contact with many inside sources to certain programs, but I am no longer in that field, but I still touch base will a few contacts here and there.

My point is you have to really understand the recruiting process to understand that LSU had a phenomenal signing day yesterday that is only going to get better. To criticize Coach O and the staff shows you have no clue what you're talking about.

OK, now the normal idiots can leave their stupid little responses!
