Check it before you fall in love with it. Thanks for moving the false statement forward.

Yeah I believe the stat was every draft eligible five star under Saban. It was very cleverly worded not to account for the guys who were processed. When you look at the whole tally it's about the same as any other school. If it isn't yet then Eddie Williams, Phillip Sims, and Dee Hart will knock their total down to earth.

So I guess Nico Johnson was never draft Eligible. Got it. If they aren't drafted in the first round then they weren't eligible.

I played for Don Shows. He bled purple and gold. Saban infiltrated West Monroe with his paid hack/thugs when Shows health went down. We need to start playing Saban's game, and alumni need to step up when Saban allied coaches are exposed. They should be fired and "asked" to move to Alabama if they love it so much.

I didn't say it wasn't an outright lie in some cases, I just remember reading it and laughing because it was worded in such a bullshite way.

Went back and found the tweet. It says every top 15 player. Overall? Position? How many top 15 players have they had if it was overall that have been eligible to be drafted? No names were given, just said every eligible top 15 player. Not as impressive after reviewing. Thought it was just 5 stars.

What about the Metro-Breaux Bridge area? They usually commit early.

2 pages deep & nobody has mentioned dutchtown? I know technically it's only LC but there is definitely a stigma about it. Deservedly or not


Eric Reid >>> Landon Collins

Also, Landon Collins was a Katrina refuge, not a typical Dutchtown kid. That said, it wasn't "only LC." Eddie Lacy was also a Dutchtown grad.

LSU has become a national draw team. We can pick most instate recruits we need, we do lose a couple every year for various reasons. As we draw nationally fewer openings are available for Louisiana recruits , thus some areas may not get the attention as much as they use to. If the talent is there we'll be there.

Haha.. a good ole' fashion witch hunt for Saban agents! I actually think that could be a good idea. Not necessarily the part about the coach getting fired, but if you support Saban/Bama and you are a coach in LA, have the nutz to come out and say it/own it. Let the community you live it decide an appropriate way to deal with it.

Pretty sure this fella is not getting drafted in the first round:
