Aside from Karr now, those haven’t been producing the talent.

Berry last year. Royal next year. Forstall next year goes to IMG now but he's from New Orleans. None of them from Karr.

And yet, he is consistently highly ranked as a recruiter and is credited as the primary recruiter for kids all across the state. This includes the top 2 kids in this class.

The dude is an elite recruiter. I don’t see the point in trying to diminish that.

In another thread, you said he has never developed a RB, but of course qualified that Jeremey Hill, Leonard Fournette and Derius Guice didn’t count…and have already counted Durham, Berry and Jackson as busts, or regressed. So who exactly are we left with to make this judgement?

It’s a clear biased agenda. Frank has value, and if LSU chooses to go in another direction, someone else will be happy to have him. I just don’t understand the point of these threads.

Sure but Frank is a St Aug grad and his sway in the Catholic league was paramount in the pursuit of Leonard.

With NiL, sad to say, you can buy them now. You don’t need FW. Money talks BS walks.

Why is this even an issue with folks. Money talks now. Has nothing to do with Frank or anyone else. It may help a little to have the illusion of loyalty to someone, but the $$ sign is the main factor. I do not blame the New Orleans kids going for the money. This is the time we live in. The best recruiting tool that LSU can have is to win games, be relevant in the playoff scenario, and be willing to pay good money.

The Berry family is very close with Frank and I worry about HB leaving with him, especially if he goes to Texas. ALL of our running problems are O Line issues. BD could not teach them how to run block.

I have to say, if you look at those lists, especially the last 2, because they are all former players, more of the players from the list FW didn’t get contributed more than the list of recruits FW got. Basically all of the ones from the list FW didn’t recruit contributed and only 6/7of the 10 FW signed really made a major contribution.
