Cannot lose the top d-lineman in the country when he's in your backyard and you're a purported recruiting savant that coached d-line. Checks way too many boxes to miss out on.

Very impressive list, unfortunately no Sopsher. Someone mentioned he was heading to Bama's spring game? How are we with him?

As the saying goes; "You can bring the horse to water but you can't make him drink!" If he goes its not because our coaching staff never made the effort.

So how many 3 star commits we get this weekend? If LSU loses top instate recruits again to bama then im afraid O is not the Recruiter he was made out to be. Filling recruiting needs is one thing but filling it with projects and guys that contribute 2 or 3 years down the road will not put LSU in the Playoffs.

Well when you put it that way O never has to accept responsibility for the quality of class he puts together.

Meh I’m from the area, know the family. IMO kid is not a absolute must get for us. I wish we just steer away from him & let him go to the dark side. Give that scholly to someone else

Couldn't agree more, if he doesn't want to play for his home state then good riddance. We'll find players that want to wear the Purple and Gold.
The guys visiting this weekend look like a fantastic group to me, could care less about chumps that want to be gumps.

I agree, but it's not like Bama doesn't beat other programs for top prospects either.

all 4 of these players will be in Alabama's two deep. all 4 have Louisiana ties.

throw in Saivion Smith and Pat Surtain jr, and bama can thank louisiana/LSU for nearly 1/3 of its two deep.

I guess we need to force kids by gunpoint to go to LSU instead of Bama.

Shoosh, let them be miserable over something that hasn't even happened yet. The earliest a recruit can sign is December. Enjoy their misery for the next eight months.

Let them cry and be miserable until then. If he goes elsewhere I'll grieve for a couple minutes when it happens or try to anyway.

This sounds good in your head but if this keeps up we will lose4 to 5 games per year and be a microcosm of the program we use to be.

so now we don't want Sospher? Wow the excuses are getting lame at this point.
What about Harris from Ga? I need the excuse beforehand . What we wanted Brooks instead because he's higher on the coaches board..

I think that use of “microcosm” sounded good in your head as well.

of course he is responsible for the quality of the class but at the same time he can’t force any single player for Louisiana to come to LSU. If he misses on one he needs to make up for it elsewhere and still recruit at a high level.

Question for anyone; why is our spring game the same day as Bama's?

We get to decide when our spring game is, right? This seems to be a huge tactical error. It's a recruiting event as much as it is a scrimmage. It doesn't make sense to make recruits that are choosing between us and Bama pick a spring game to go to.
