Hard to respond to a post that is, literally, all wrong. Not one single assertion or argument is true.
We do pursue every recruit that we want and have a legit chance to sign.
UGA and UA do not “flip” our recruits.

Going after Bama, and to some extent Georgia, commits is not about getting them to flip necessarily, it is to get those other two schools to spend resources re-recruiting guys that have already committed to them. O should be on the phone right now working Jayson Jones, the DT that’s committed to Bama. Make Bama spend time and resources keeping him in the fold. Maybe they’ll have less time to work on Roy and Guillory.


Wouldn’t it be a wash if LSU is using resources to guys that are committed to those schools that they know they won’t be able to flip and taking those same resources away that they could use on Roy or Guillory? The coaching staff knows which players they may be able to flip that are committed to other schools and stays on them. The ones they know they don’t have a shot at they’ve on from. Emery is an example of that last year. Thy knew they had a chance to flip him back so they stayed on him. The blowout of Georgia helped but of the coaching staff would have stopped contacting him after he committed to UGA he would have not have thought about flipping.

2. They're flipping ours


I probably don't keep up quite as much as others here, but how many of ours have they flipped??

From what I've seen, the kids that they've gotten haven't ever really committed to us. They'll usually say some shite like "LSU is my dream school", then a week before NSD say "I'm going to make a business decision", and finally on NSD choose Bama.
