LSU offered Etienne today and got a flood of CB for him, looks like we are going to miss out on him and Sheffield.

We were always going to lose out on Etienne if LSU had offered. Coach O could have bitch slapped his mom and then took a shite on the kitchen table and Etienne still would have gone to LSU if they offered.

Correct. This is the way it is with most LA kids, even the ones living in other states (Grant Delpit and JaCoby Stevens). There is tremendous pressure on these kids from friends and family. Almost everybody stays in-state due to the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS).
All you need is a 2.5 and your school is mostly paid. If you are a prospect that has an offer to LSU and you don't commit, your friends and family often end up "magically" at Louisiana-Monroe vs. the main campus. LSU also leverages this to get OOS recruits by offering friends and family (Teuhema Bros.). The non-revenue sports also utilize it effectively ( How losing TOPS would impact LSU athletics...).

My Uncle coached in LA before leaving for a coaching gig in GA. He had trouble placing his kids once his star player went out of state. Tremendous pressure on coaches and players.
It was being eluded to on the recruiting boards too, that Etienne's coaches were under a bunch of pressure from LSU after he committed to the good guys even though he didn't even have an offer.

Wonder what would happen if Texas High Schools started failing players who committed to LSU....

This would never happen, but the "lawmakers" in TX do have a tool in their quiver should they ever choose to use it. I've only taken a few law classes, but this came up during the Manziel autograph scandal (https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/9571388/law-says-texas-sue-autograph-brokers-johnny-manziel-found-violation). I attach the link here (https://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/CP/htm/CP.131.htm).
I believe the school could sue for percieved damages to a regional collegiate athletic association or institution may include lost television revenues and lost ticket sales of regular season and post-season athletic events. An enterprising lawyer could probably utilize this to sue Ole Miss after they got the commitment of Gregg Little after being committed to A&M, should the NCAA rule against them with evidence that they paid Little.
There is also a law in TX against unethical agents that was passed after the Sips were getting too many of their basketball players poached by unethical NBA scouts and got upset ( Texas law would send unethical agents to jail).

So you have no examples where this happened?

Your tinfoil hat conspiracies are always quite entertaining.
I also love that you think UL-Monroe is just another LSU campus.
