You guys have had some great la players. Nelson specifically.
You recruit a lot of northern la, and have had a great run in the river parishes in years past. Specifically with kids from the river parishes, you've had a great run. Why piss off the coaches from one of your best spots?

Because they are borderline qualifiers and if you hadn't noticed we are kind of short of quality players. We have a grand total of FIVE scholarship WR's on our roster currently. It is not a position they can afford to miss on.
From my understanding McBride is more than likely going to be qualify once he take the ACT in a week or so but if he doesn't get the right score then he wouldn't be able to make it into an SEC school. Moseley isn't going to meet SEC qualification levels and I think the kid himself realizes that based off his apology tweet.
It's just not something they can wait around on with the new SEC rules. You run the risk of them not making it and you losing a spot that you can't fill over the summer like schools have done in the past. Just two years ago we did exactly that after we signed a guy that wouldn't qualify. We added a receiver to the class on April that took his spot in the 25. Unfortunately you can't do that anymore.
We're not LSU or Bama where we are shuffling in 4 and 5 star players. They are already low on bodies for a new system and can't afford a miss. It just is that way it it. I feel terrible for McBride but I can't fault the staff. Unfortunately their jobs depend on hitting on these targets and improving the team.
