Texas recruiting for LSU. Satisfied?

I'm so confused.

I think you're asking why HS kids in Texas are leaving the state but your title just makes me want a Snickers.

I agree. This staff has done great finding talent everywhere

I think his question here is
why has LSU not picked any top 10 from texas this year?

i think we came pretty close to getting 1-2 top 10 WR ... NIL probably outbid LSU.
not sure who is the lead recruiter for texas now?
but trditionally LSU has done well in Houston area as well as bordering schools from Louisiana

I think you’re saying,

2-3 from top 30 is pretty good.
Would have like to have a top15 or two.

OSU, OU, oregon as well as Texas, Baylor and Aggie make it tough to pull these top15s.

Still happy with the total class but we had to get guys from other states where we relied on Texas more in the past.

Any thoughts on Texas HS recurring going forward for this year and the future?

I’m not sure what the 105 is going to do to Texas HS recruiting.

I see that OSU has made some damn fine in roads to the south from Florida to Texas.

NIL is still a bigger issue than most think. I don’t mind getting bag chasers if they are true difference makers.

Still want the majority of the La Top players first. Then Texas, Florida Georgia, Miss and Kelly to do this thing in the Midwest for Oline and TE.

Obviously you need to see that we’ve been doing fine. Took the best player from Michigan/country.

Would have loved to see this kind of class in 2022 to start paying off now but it doesn’t work that way all the time.

and y'all complain about my posts.......

Used to only be 1 underachieving college in the SEC from TEXASS Now there is 2, no Actually 3 SEC in Recruit greatest majority players in that State. Oklahoma.

2-3 commits from Texas top30. But the state is a focus for the in-states plus Ohio St, Oregon, etc., making it more difficult. But no commits from state top15, which isn’t normal

This "concern" is absolutely ludicrous. For one thing, it's not really even accurate. If you go by 247's rankings (which I used simply because they've been around for more years), we've signed one of the top 15 players in texas in 3 of our last 7 signing classes (one of which was perkins, who is from new orleans). In the other 4 classes, we had 0 of the top 15 from texas. Also, by the way, only 11 texas guys in the present class have a higher rating than Charles Ross (93). We've only signed multiple from texas's top 15 one time since the 2014 class and two times since 2009 (as far back as the rankings go).


And second: The staff seems to have settled on an overall recruiting strategy of being *very* deliberate about picking its out-of-state battles: Our out-of-state targets in this cycle have been, almost exclusively, either (a) the absolute cream-of-the-crop studs at the very top of the rankings, or (b) guys we feel we have a very strong likelihood of landing, for one reason or another. We can always find a solid in-state back-up plan who will get on board with minimal drama, so there's just no point in fighting a time- and effort-consuming, expensive, knock-down-drag-out fight against texas and miami and georgia and alabama and ohio state unless it's for a legit STUD. It's just not a good use of resources. Rather than spreading our recruiting resources around to, say, 10 4* guys and hoping to land 5 (just totally making up the numbers), we're dedicating them towards 5 5* guys and hoping to land 3, after which we'll fill the leftover 2 spots with 2 in-state kids, one of whom will probably jump from a 3* to a 4* by the time he gets to campus anyway. This means that there just aren't a ton of out-of-state targets for us generally.


And in any event, why don't we compare out-of-state recruiting generally to what it's been in the past?


For the current cycle, we have 4 out-of-state commits ranked in the top 50 nationally. That's tied with 2017--the class that won us the championship in 2019--for the most we've had since 2010. We've only had more than one 3x since 2010. This cycle is, literally, the best we've recruited out of state in recent memory.

Good stuff. Thank you.

Might put Ross on the edge at lsu. Will have to see how he grows

Either way you have an elite guy once he gets better at diagnosing
