Oh boy,fisrt off LA has too much talent produced for LSU to offer them all.Second,not everyone from LA is an LSU fan,Finally,LSU's focus at this point is on the defensive front 7,with good reason.

I find it funny when other teams have to rely on La players to be good

I mean you guys take La recruiting very seriously. Even if it's not a highly touted player you guys will still jizz your pants. There's nothing wrong with it though. Having La players on your team is a recipe for success

That works both ways. Any LA guy that chooses Arkansas you automatically assume LSU didnt want him
It is funny to read some of your posters say they wish LSU "had room" for a top 20 in state player. And it gets old. Surely you can understand that

It's not about his player ranking. If you want to go by that there are 3 receivers rated higher than him in the state. We don't have room for 8 wr in a class. Some people get left out. We need room for front 7 players right now.

Well when they dont even have an offer, what else would you conclude?
And as far as the other statement, LSU cant take every single player in the state, especially at a position which we're loaded with young guys at. We cant take 5 LA WRs every year because there 5 in the Top 25 of LA every year and happen to be 4 and 5 stars. We'd have 20 WRs on scholarship if that's the case. Some classes, like this one, we have to be very picky on things, we really dont need any WRs, but Sullivan, Anderson and now Coxie are guys we couldn't say no to. With Sullivan decommitted we either are trying to get him back or get Drake Davis. Outside shot of Mykel Jones but the press isn't on there. After that we have a list of guys we may go after, but we certainly dont HAVE to offer someone just because they happen to be a 4-star in our own state.

Im guessing you missed the part of my post that said every time.......
it doesnt matter to me, im glad to have them, but this notion that Arkansas doesnt pull talent is exhausting

Louisiana is down the list as far as number of players on our roster. Currently there are 6.
Florida (14), Texas (17) and Arkansas (41) make up the bulk of our roster.
However, we will continue to pick up 2 or 3, maybe 4 good SEC level players out of Louisiana every year.

If true, then maybe LSU should have legitimately offered Guidry?

We've really just started recruiting Louisiana. I mean, we've always signed a few in NLA, but never spent much time in the rest of the state.
Texas has always been our main state for recruiting, as it is with most states around Texas. I know LSU is also relying on Texas a lot, so we're not much different.

Guidry just happened to be one of MANY DT offers this year. We're trying to load up on guys and get as many interested as possible. Guidry was a guy we identified as a take and offered early on, however, now we're on some of the nation's best at DT, which is why we've made no real push on Guidry. It's not a slight to him, we could seriously just land the best DT class of all time considering guys like Rashan Gary, Shavar Manuel, Rashard Lawrence, Raekwon Davis and Jordan Elliott are all interested in us and we have 2 of the Top 25 DTs already committed. We are simply going after those guys before Guidry because we have a real shot with all of them and are among the elite of the elite.

interest does not equal commit/sign, ever heard the old saying "don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch"
also Dee Anderson is the only commit to LSU that is higher ranked than Graham and don't give me the BS about rankings don't matter. Because LSU is on so many players higher ranked than Guidry. That is the excuse for him choosing Arkansas right??

The dumpster fire that is the LSU QB (especially when Franks decides to stay in FL) also isn't exactly conducive to bringing in WR's that want to catch TD's instead of block!

This isnt just some passerby interest. We are considered a favorite for Manuel, a favorite for Lawrence and at least heavy players for Gary, Davis and possibly Elliot now that he decommmitted. This isn't us just shooting for the stars, this is legitimate interest from all those guys and us as they've all visited and some of them multiple times with more visits set to come. I'll take our chances on going for those guys over just pushing a guy like Guidry to flip now (whose been committed to Arkansas for a while, so there's no certainty he would flip).
quote:

Rankings dont matter to coaches. Graham has camped at LSU before and didn't do enough to get an offer. Coxie was better and that's why he got offered and committed. They also identified Drake Davis as a player worthy of an offer. We cant just be handing out offers all over the place at WR right now because we really dont NEED any more so they are only going to go after the guys they feel can really contribute in this small group. Right now it's about trying to get Sullivan back on board or get Davis to commit with Mykel Jones as a backburner plan...after that, it's a crap shoot if we'll even pursue anyone else at WR. Graham just isn't up there right now, as even a plan B guy, hence no offer.
quote:

It's not just higher ranked but guys our coaches are PUSHING to get. We're not even in contact with Guidry. We are calling these other guys constantly and getting them on campus for visits. Plus, I dont think it's up for any debate any team in the country would be after guys like Gary, Manuel, Lawrence and Davis over Guidry if there was legit interest from all. Once again, it's NOT a slight on Guidry, it's just that's the kind of interest we have from the best of the best at DT right now. It doesn't work that way at every position, we just have that luxury at DT right now. I'm not saying we land every single one, but we certainly want to land at least 2 and we definitely should.

So now you're just trolling, thanks, I'll save the constructive responses for someone not trying to be an idiot moving forward.

LSU recriuts very well. We will have some success with LA talent but they won't always be an Henre Tolliver that play early. It could be a Demarcus Hodge who looks like he will finally be a player
I'll take any LA player that wants to come our way...assuming CBB signs off
