Is this what you think of as showing equal love to both home grown talent and imports?

Why would Les show equal love to less talented "home grown" talent and more talented "imports"?
They are not equal. One is more talented, and if the "imports" show legitiamate interest in LSU, I believe that the "imports" should receive much more love from Les than the less talented "home grown" talent.

well its a g.d. shame Mike Davis didn't feel the way you think all of the Louisiana kids do.
As soon as Texas offered he jumped ship and landed right in with Mack (I play every Texas kid cool) Brown.
You win some and lose some. Level headed people understand this. Level headed people don't wet the bed when they get more than expected and they don't stomp their feet and rant and rave when they get less than might have been expected.
A lot of people on here now could use a dose of Jimmie Davis cause Sunshine ain't a bad thing!

There are high risks/gains that come with recruiting highly sought after players whether they are local or oos. Everyone is going to want them and usually you have to give them more attention.
It is a probability game but one that you want to play if you are desirous of being in the National and SEC contention on a yearly basis.

And many have, and many will.
