This really seems like pertinent information that we need to know to properly evaluate the cost effectiveness of each school.

I'm laughing at Tennessee. At least A&M has a better record over the last 20 years.

Hell, even Arkansas and Texas A&M spend more money on recruiting relative to LSU. While UGA spends over a million dollars more than everyone else. As obviously cause UGA hasn't won a natty in over 40 years, they are trying to buy one.

Thus, while I'm not advocating that LSU spends as much as UGA, I still advocate that LSU spend enough to put LSU in the top three.

LSU really doesn't have to travel far for the majority of their recruits

Georgia, Alabama, A&M and LSU are the ones that don't make sense to me. Those schools can pretty much recruit in-state and be done with it. Doesn't cost a lot if you don't have to travel out of your border.

Honestly, I just gotta go back to how ridiculous this place is. A&M spends the 6th most in the country, and brings in the 6th ranked class. Arkansas spends the 5th most in the country, and brings in the 20th or whatever class. And what's the first response? Lol @ A&M. So pathetic. Lots of yall got aggy issues.

Not on defense. Texas defensive talent is few and far between now.

Of A&M's 4-star and higher defensive recruits since Fisher arrived, 10/23 (43.5%) are from IN-STATE.

Keep Arkansas's name out of your post.

You sit on the most fertile recruiting area in the country and can't do crap with it.

If we had those avenues we'd be much more competitive than you.History proves that with talent,we beat you.

My understanding is UGA decided to no longer maintain it's own plane and pilots which was accounted for in the University side and now uses charter services which are accounted for as Recruiting instead of just being apart of the University .

I'm sure our numbers include the trips every couple days for Chard to go "recruit" his own son and see his family who never left DFW.
