Some of the best talent in Louisiana has left in recent years to go play at Alabama. Can LSU not lock down their in state talent? Alabama sure doesn't have their top athletes leaving the state to go play at other SEC schools.

Here some of the players Les has let get away in recent years:

From 2014 class along:
Cameron Robinson – 5*, Starter as a freshman, will be an All-American before he leaves.

Cameron Sims – 4*, Will be a play maker next year.

Laurence Jones - 4*, How do you let a guy with the nickname Hootie get away?

All of these guys have rings:
Landon Collins – 5*, Ball Hawk and ultimate jimmy rustler for LSU fans

Denzel Devall – 5*, Great LB but has been battling injury this year

Kenny Bell – 4*, Clutch player. Big part of the 2011 & 2012 NCs

Eddie Lacy – 4*, Offensive MVP for the BCS Championship game and NFL Offensive Rookie of the year

Louisiana has so much talent that everyone cant fit here. One legit school in state means some must go elsewhere. you can have those 7. they are all tiger bait beotch

Cameron Robinson was always going to Alabama. He felt he would get better coaching and more playing time

Cameron Sims was never offered

Hootie Jones just liked Alabama better. Some rumors are he decommitted from Alabama and attempted to secure a spot in last years LSU class..but was turned down because of how LSU felt with Jamal Adams).

Landon Collins followed his girlfriends vagina

Eddy lacy was a grade risk and was thought to have been a no chance qualifier

Eddie Lacy didn't have the grades. He hade like a 2.0 in high school and made an 18? on his ACT.

Scholar by Alabama standards apparently.


ETA : LSUBanker beat me to it.

And they're right. The cheating programs are in the state of Alabama.

Because most people in Louisiana still worship Nick Saban

Jones sucks, Lacy is retarded and couldn't make it, Bell was an average receiver at best.

Misleading stat

The only one that has hurt LSU was Landon Collins.

Eddy Lacy is a great back..but LSU wasn't hurting at RB while he was doing spin moves for Alabama

Kenny Bell?

Cameron Sims..well, we signed some pretty decent WR's last year as well.

Cameron Robinson will likely hurt, but hasn't hurt us yet.

Wanted him badly, he chose Bama probably because you've had way more success getting OLs drafted highly in recent years

Nvm, not even offered apparently. LOL

Offered Hootie but went harder after Jamal Adams who is much better and he left the state.

Landon Collins – 5*, Ball Hawk and ultimate jimmy rustler for LSU fans


Hates LSU

Denzel Devall – 5*, Great LB but has been battling injury this year


Not sure

Stopped recruiting because he wasn't going to qualify. Basically everyone besides Bama did the same, yet somehow Bama got him qualified.

Devall chose Alabama because it was smart for him to do so. He's a perfect 3-4 linebacker and would have been a hybrid DE in LSU's scheme.

Cam Robinson- LSU Wanted but Handlers. No hard feelings.
Cam Sims-Didn't want .Who cares?
Hootie Jones-LSU wanted, he played games.He Tried to recommit. LSU would not return calls. Signed Jamal Adams instead-will be 1st team All-American.
Landon Collins-LSU wanted. Mama drama.
Denzall Devall-Doesn't fit our scheme. Meh.
Kenny Bell-Didn't want. Scrub.
Eddy Lacy-Could not get into LSU academically. Magical Alabama admittance.

The Correct Answer is Kwon Alexander.
