Can LSU realistically expect to land any 4 or 5 star recruits out of FL now?

Look at the coaches in the state of Florida now:

Jimbo
McElwain
Strong
Richt
Davis
Kiffin
Frost

Will it even be worth the expense to go talk to those kids?

*Not being negative at all. Simply food for thought & discussion*

if we're competing for recruits with FIU and FAU then we've got bigger problems

The Kiffin, Strong, Davis, and Frost are going to take the 3 star kids that get away. I don't think it will make much of an impact. Now smaller schools that were pulling those guys from Fla will run into problems.

The good news is that it should bring down Florida's recruiting some. That's a lot of great recruiters in that state and maybe they can sway some away from UF.

Also, maybe we should place more of an emphasis on locking down the Louisiana kids and then move to the Houston and Dallas metro areas.

Raymond can get 5* CBs from almost anywhere.

Are you bitching when we pull top kids out of TX, Florida, etc.?

For every Moses/Allen/Robinson/Jones we get an Alexander/Peterson/Deculus/Key.

Is a remarkably bad recruiter for UF. Miami even with Richt is a shadow of its former self and doesn't have shite for facilities. FSU can only take 25 per year. The rest of those folks coach at directional schools. So yes.

Typical doom and gloom LSU fan. It should be more problems for Fla if any but you like to worry, don't you?

Jimbo - not everyone's flavor
McElwain - not worried at all about him
Strong - not worried about him
Richt - he's alright, but can't get them all (and doesn't have the recruiting draw a lot of other places will)
Davis - not worried about him
Kiffin - meh - if he's convincing kids to go to FAU instead of LSU, then we're in real trouble and will have a new coach soon
Frost - not worried about.

What exactly are you worried about?

This is the essence of the rant right here. Ignorant doom and gloom thread.

With O leading I doubt we land them from our own state.

Yup... the negative threads on the rant these days are really starting to look weak minded and melt down pathetic. It's like the cool thing to do these days is to act like Chicken Littles and complain about falling skies.

If these guys would just try to show a little patience they would see that this staff will still pull in a top class in the middle of a major coaching transition. Most schools would have lost a lot more recruits during a time like this.

We've been recruiting against Jimbo and McElwayne already and that will continue. No change.

come on... LSU will always recruit well.

Kiffin going to FAU or FUK or wherever isnt going to hurt Tiger recruiting

What five star kid wants to go play for Strong or Kiffin? Both have been failures and coach at shitty schools. They will go after juco kids and transfers to succeed. It's the only way.
