Posted on 8/2/13 at 10:49 pm to I-H8-BAMA
Though we never seemed in the race deval will be a great player for them, also Tim Williams was a take. Not that I think he will be better than bower but we wanted him. And the threat of losing cam rob or hootie is legit. But anyway my point was it only takes a few. How would you feel if BAMA had laron Dorsey or chad jones. This wasn't a fence is down post this was saying losing a big time player matters post. I don't agree with the "who cares if louisiana players go to LSU" mentality
Oh yeah and watching lacy run for big yardage behind fluker with kenny bell on the outside stings a bit. Just like watching devall and Williams coming after Jennings with Landon making plays in the secondary will sting in the coming years. I'm a tiger though and f*** BAMA. Just saying I disagree w OP

La kids should go to LSU because one day they will not be playing football anymore and by playing for the home team they will get the good-guy *bump*.
Think about it. If Fournette goes to bama and blows out his knee his freshman year he is a guy with no home: He never did enough to be remembered in bama and he doesn't get the hero/local great opportunities of being an LSU recruit that had his career cut short.
I don't think that there is much upside to being an outsider/traitor to the 'home team', especially when you pick the biggest rival of the home team. You think Landon Collins has ANY future in LA after going to bama? If LC goes down with a career-ending injury he'll be bagging groceries at Kroger whereas if he had gone to LSU he would have some fans in powerful positions that would help him go places. In bama he'll just be replaced and forgotten.
Anyway, whatever. Kids will go where they want.

Ill give you Devall even though it seemed as if he fit better for Bama. I'm sure we still recruited him hard.

No, it was stated multiple times long before signing day that staff had severely cooled on, maybe even completely cut off contact with, Tim Williams. I could be wrong, but maybe someone else can confirm it.

Cam? Yes. Hootie? Not a chance.
So basically, only Collins. You said these are the types that Bama is pulling from La when in reality they have only pulled 1, maybe 2, elite prospects that LSU was hard after. Just because it seems as if Cam is seriously considering Bama you cannot add him to a lost of elite players Bama has picked from La. That was a shite ton of speculating backed by very few facts. So pretty much it was exactly the kind of chicken little post that you deny it was.

What needs to change Rains? Other than u never posting again on this board.
LSU should go after all La Kids that have the talent and fit their schemes in state first. After that they should reach out nationally to fill those voids. Any 5 star player gets an offer if he shows interest regardless of where he lives. LSU is pretty much doing just that.
Any LA kid that LSU offers should feel the pressure of staying in state. His friends and relatives most likely are LSU fans if they follow college football. They want to see him play every chance they get as well as all the people that are alumni of his High School or live in his area of the state. They feel a certain connection with that kid. Thats never going to change.
Its no different or maybe more so in the state of Alabama. Even if u go to Troy or UAB your friends and family are most likely either an Alabama or Auburn fan. Id say its close to 95% one way or the other in Alabama. Thats the way it is and thats not going to change either.
A kid does have the right to go wherever he wants but he will have to deal with the repercussions of that decision. Thats the way it is and should be.
If he truly believes he should attend an OOS school after weighing all the pros and cons, then by all means he should go and play for them. But there will always be in state pressure from any high tradition state school.
Are you really a LSU fan? It certainly doesnt sound like it. And anyone that agrees with you on this ridiculous post cant truly be a LSU football fan either.

It is what it is. Many/most people in south LA that are in positions to help a guy post-college are LSU fans/homers. If a recruit played for the wrong team they will not be as willing to help in the future as someone that played for the home team. I honestly don't get how anyone could question this or the thinking behind this...

You're lying to yourself if you don't think this is the way it is in many of places.

Yes I feel all instate stud players go elsewhere so NeverRains can feel good about himself. We should strive for kids to want to go somewhere else. I mean would it really be any fun to have a bunch of uber talented kids all on the same team when we could just be happy to have every else's leftovers, I say heck no.
Posted on 8/2/13 at 11:22 pm to SohCahToa
Read my post again. This isn't a fence is down argument. I am simply staying it only takes a few to feel it. Collins and devall are a few aren't they? What about fluker who was from NO and Lacey? I just mentioned they were a threat for cam and hootie, never said they had them. Who would you be ok with BAMA having: laron Landry, Glenn Dorsey, or chad jones? That's only a few right? We're those players important :dunno

They SHOULD be forced, but they are not. They have the freedom to go where they want, but if they choose not to play at LSU (unless they feel they have no shot at playing there) then the state should SHUN them. They should never be allowed back to work, visit, see their families...etc. PISS on them, and I hope they freakin' suck where ever they go. Then I hope they break their legs. Disloyal, little bastards.

We should strive for them, but if we make them feel like they're forced, they're not going to want to go to LSU. THEY want to make the decision.

Lol, how could you possibly even know that? Are you like 5 different people who live in these other seperate states? You should realize that this goes on everywhere and you are naive to believe it doesn't, let alone say it.
Posted on 8/2/13 at 11:49 pm to NeverRains
I think they should definitely have the ability to make any choice they want but they should realize that their choices mean something: If you go play for the wrong team you will eliminate future opportunities back home.
I don't make the rules but I know one when I see one: If you are a traitor to the home team you have eliminated you future options back home.
