My bet is they do do plenty of recruiting, and have the credit card bills to prove it. They seem to be proving themselves ineffective in that capacity.

I thought LSU had a very strong showing with Mario.

class anymore than he has. He let possibly the #1 player in the country come to us from his back yard,


He didn't let him do anything. Landon chose and has openly admitted it wasn't just his decision.

he could not secure a visit with Tracy Howard when he clearly showed interest,


He never showed interest and our staff caught on. That kid was not leaving the state of FL ever. His mama has her heart set on seeing him play and he wanted to add excitement to his announcement. The fact he knew so little about us tells me all I need to know about how interested he was from the start.

d now made a weak showing with Super Mario. Something needs to be seriously reevaluated!!!

Made a weak showing? You have no clue. We gave our best effort and tbh it may not officially be over. Anything can happen between now and the papers signed.

Mario gave that visit high remarks, but the lure to follow in his father's footsteps was too great. You can't get upset or look past how big of a deal that was to him. How about Saban losing out on a QB in his own backyard. Or losing a DT to FSU as well. Pot met kettle, gump. Sometimes you lose.

Call me what you want, but the proof is backing my statement. None of them committed to LSU and as of now you are hoping for a L.B. begging Bama for a full ride, a JC receiver thinking about Auburn and Tenn. and a 270 pound QB choosing between you, Ole Piss and MOO U!


Man, that hurts, but unfortunately it's the truth. The NC debacle just keeps giving.

eh starting to fade? After the first game in November people were singing his praises locally and nationally.

I do think some adjustments need to be on staff and we need some more big time recruiters. Frank, Brick, and Cooper are having to carry the load.

Ensminger and Stud are complete non factors. Krags seems to be prety solid, though I'm not sure if you can credit him with anyone in this class.

Thank you Montana tiger for seeing that i am just pointing out facts and not starting arguments. My wife graduated from LSU and with the exception of the Bama game, I wish LSU nothing but absolute success, but from an outside observer, sometimes its better to get an unbias opinion of you current standing!

I have a question for any LSU fan reading this. How much of this season do you credit LSU's wins to coaching on the field or being the more talented team on the field. I think the Defense played very well all season but in particular on offense, Was it coaching or just LSU muscling everyone? Please give honest opinions and not smart arse remarks.

GTFO. LSU fans haven't turned on the team. Many have been upset with the quarterbacking situation for the past several years and many with the head coach. The fact that other schools have made fun of our quarterback situation and coach shows that it wasn't something just LSU fans were doing.

Every fanbase has vocal idiots in the stadium and message boards, and when things are bad for what should otherwise be a good team, it intensifies.

So again, GTFO and that goes for all you idiots who attempt to bash our fanbase as being somehow worse than any others.

What? How did that happen this year?

LSU crushed everybody they played except for Alabama and Ms State and Ms State was never even in that game, they simply kept themselves from getting blown out.
