FYI, UT apparently has changed their recruiting philosophy for 2014 by offering a bunch of kids today. This is a departure from the past where they would wait until February's Junior Days. Players from Louisiana with offers appear to include:

Leonard Fournette
Speedy Noil
Laurence Jones

They have also offered other folks that LSU is interested in like Tony Brown.

Seriously?

They offered Fournette, Noil, Jones, Brown, Paris, Hampton, Harvey, and Watkins at least. All guys we're recruiting. If news about another team affects half your recruiting board, it's relevant here.

I'm anxious to see how this approach works for them. Out of the 8 guys I listed, I can see them getting two.

If that's the case then we should start a thread on every school that offers players that LSU are after...

I agree. Why are you opposed to recruiting news about LSU targets being posted on the LSU recruiting board?

Mack 2.0 is in effect.

Lorenzo Joe, WR, Abilene Cooper - COMMITTED

Tony Brown, DB, Beaumont Ozen

Edwin Freeman, DB/LB, Arlington Bowie

Hoza Scott, LB/DE, La Porte

Nick Watkins, CB, Dallas Bishop Dunne

Jerrod Heard, QB, Denton Guyer

Nick Harvey, CB, Lancaster

Myles Garrett, DE, Arlington Bowie

Donald Catalon, RB, Eisenhower

Demetrius Knox, OL, Fort Worth All Saints

Daniel Gresham, RB/FB, Fort Worth All Saints

Jamal Adams, DB, Lewisville Hebron

Probably a few more as the news continues to break. FYI, today is the 1st day per NCAA rules that official written offers could be extended.

I'm not against hearing recruiting news about LSU targets being posted on the board but I don't give a shite about UT and its new recruiting philosophy. I can see if any of our targets made comments about UT...that would be worthy of a post/thread..but starting a thread about UT's new recruiting philosophy on an LSU board, is a no-no. Just my opinion

There's always a mass exodus with over 300+ FBS recruits signing LOI's every year...it's just that most of the best decide to stay home to play for Texas.
