I think as far as LSU recruiting goes it is a wash for now. I don't see A&M taking a big bite out of LSU recruiting (at least right now) because LSU is one of the big dogs of the SEC. We may lose some recruits, but not many. And this will be compensated for by LSU being made more visible in Texas (as LSU will be on a lot more TVs in Texas with A&M in the fold). This might give us a better shot at some of the top QBs in Texas. So I'll take that trade.

I think most of the defections to A&M will come from players that would otherwise go to the Big-12. I doubt UT and OU will feel the pain, but it will be very hard for the other schools in the B-12 to compete.

This is more important than people realize. Okie State has lured away a few 4 star recruits from the Houston area over the past that they won't be able to any longer. Same with Tech.

It isn't necessarily about the star players, but having quality and depth. The SEC move will really help this, imo.
