this should officially end gino and all the paid guys shite. I officially can form a better opinion with the info on here than being duped to pay for it.

guess now its time to reasearch this question: what is the worst a national title game participant has finished in the rankings? I'm guessing this years class will challenge that position...

For us, I agree. Still are going to bring in a solid class but my God have we got shite on this year by the top prospects.

- Kiel commits then pulls a 180 on us at the very last second
- Coaches somehow frickup E.E.'s and run off Miller
- Howard dumps his last visit from us to MIAMI?!?
- Edwards visits and sticks with FSU immediately
- Patterson seems like he has eliminated us after his visit
- Collins to Alabama
- Avery Johnson, what was our prized recruit, had a bad year and has tumbled in rankings everywhere

We are snakebit in recruiting this year. What was looking like a possible solid finish looks like we will be settling on some guys we originally weren't looking at much.

We don't have a single Rivals 100 recruit. That blows my mind.


I agree 100%...it's been a very unfortunate recruiting year

maybe some of this is a blessing in disguise?

We can only hope, right!

The key here is why are we disappointed? We were never on top of those guys from the get go. They are all late stabs, and the results are predictable.

We should have made LC want to come to LSU above any other considerations but that didn't happen. But I wouldn't worry about Johnson's year, he's just as good. What we should worry about is he may be visiting Florida this weekend.

We have a decent class, but nothing to write home about this year. The only guy we really needed and expected to get was LC - and the Miller thing, well, that just was a mess.

We just need to lick our wounds and hope all 21 fax something in. But if we don't make contact with every top recruit nationwide that is worth Bama's, Auburn's, Florida's, FSU's or Texas' time, then we'll be singing the same tune next year. Cause 2013 is a down year for LA.

Florida, after winning the national title in '08, finished #11 on rivals. The previous year, after winning the title, LSU finished #11. Year before that, the title game loser (Ohio State) finished #15.

All title game participants excluding Auburn this year have finished top 3 in the recruiting class of their championship defense season.

Agreed! Seriously, these guys are simply guessing and have been wrong more than right. Not only are the paid members upset at the recruiting news, but they are out money for it too in order to pay people that know just as much (or in some cases less) than the people on this board.

Not at all surprising, and yet still disappointing


Would have really liked to have one awesome brightspot to conclude this season.

Really? The reason we are disappointed is because every single year we've landed a few of these guys at least, and this year? ZERO, none, zilch. That's what's disappointing. We don't have a single Rivals Top 100 guy, let that sink in...when is the last time that has happened?

Whoa now.

Difference between tweeting and sharing quotes from Mario Sr. and tweeting out Edwards to LSU on a weekly basis.

Well at best i figured 50/50 after we got the visit.

Whats disappointing is that we just went 13-1. You would think recruits would want in especially with us expecting to make another championship run next year.



I wonder is Les and Co. eased their efforts recruiting this seaseon thinking the win total would recruit itself?

One thing is for sure...CLM better be on people bigtime for next year and have a 10 or 11 win season to go with it or it .........wont be good......lets put it that way.



Thread title needs to be changed to "Mario Edwards Says Not Coming To LSU"

If you paid attention to certain people you just laughed at all of them at least I did.

Also we need another recruiter on staff to compete with others. Been saying this Frank Wilson and crew can't lock down everyone like in year's pasts.

Tbird - couldn't agree with you more. As well as Miles has done prior to this year, this year he really has screwed the pooch!!!! Like you I can't fully understand how things went so bad so fast but obviously the NC game and Miles pig-headedness to try and open things up and change things around when it was obvious his game plan was not going to work. I think recruits like the "River Boat Gambler" in him and like the fact that he would be unconventional. He went back to his Michigan roots during the NC game and he needs to get away from that next year, unfortunately all the recruits were watching us show our asses on National TV during that game and that hurt in my opinion

This is true but re-read my post and mostly I am agreeing with you.

What isn't reposted on here? Not everything but a good percentage of that is like junk mail.
