LSU's Reported Recruiting Pissing Contest With Texas Is Petty And Cruel

Ed Orgeron was hired to be LSU’s head coach on Nov. 26; Tom Herman signed on for the same position at Texas on Nov. 27, reportedly after turning LSU down. Both are now in the midst of their first full spring heading up their programs, which consists of spring practices, hitting the recruiting trail, and, apparently, using state politicians to shut down recruiting camps of out-of-state opponents.
quote:
The five-star recruits being denied facetime with a Texas assistant are being harmed by LSU’s political bullying, but the larger group of victims in this childish attempt to protect state lines are the high school football prospects that neither team is attempting to recruit. Five-star recruits that programs like LSU and Texas recruit aren’t always going to turn out in droves at one of their satellite camps; it’s going to filled with one- and two-star players looking to impress the coaches at Belhaven, Cornell, and Houston. Now, thanks to LSU’s repeated actions—this is the third time this recruiting season that the Tigers have had a hand in chasing the Longhorns from the state—the unheralded players in their state have been denied an otherwise golden opportunity to speak with coaches that they would otherwise be unable to interact with.
quote:
A month ago, Orgeron told SI, “protecting the state of Louisiana is always going to be my job as the coach of LSU.” That’s all fine and good, but Ed, for the state of Louisiana’s sake, just stop being a dick.

So, to reciprocate, Ed is going to stay out of Texas?

i fully expect Ed or any other LSU coach to do everything they can legally do to give LSU an advantage in any all areas possible.

Gotta do something. Aggy stupidly opened the door for LSU and Alabama to clean up while they sat in the corner chanting "SEC, SEC."

A&M has been used to this since R.C. Slocum was the head coach. We learned to work around it unlike the entitled fairies northwest of us.

Exactly. Texas can come in and visit Louisiana prospects during recruiting. They can also host a camp at Beaumont.

These camps were made illegal back in April when put on by a HS coach (Roach).
We play games in Dallas & Houston as a recruiting tool. We good.

Louisiana high school coaches were already frustrated with Orgeron over staff decisions; him attempting to deny outside schools access to a state that produces the NCAA’s third-highest percentage of high school recruits has, predictably, not gone over smoothly with prep coaches who just want to send as many of their players to college as possible.
Orgeron needs to check himself.
Part of me snickers at LSU's cockblock of the horns; but pissing off high school coaches is never a good approach.
Let the kids talk to everyone; LSU has more than enough to offer on its own without resorting to tactics rooted in insecurity.

A lot of these so called 2 and 3 star campers will be playing a few games that could be used for evaluation

Not to mention TCU and Baylor who soaked up on-the-fence recruits like soup in a biscuit.
