What ever gave you that idea? Cooper's DBs were great when he coached at USCe too.

No, I am not saying he is a bad coach. I am just saying he has been a lazy recruiter and if Chavis had a little bit to do with the success of our Cb's we will be more than fine.

Time to find an elite recruiter but I don't know who's out there this late in the year.

This was a shock. I don't think Les was expecting this but he needs to move quickly.

Blessing in disguise if Chavis had a large part in our DB success

The only way this will hurt recruiting is reputation. A lot of Dbs want to hear from LSU because of Ron's track record. That will be gone.

He was a great talent evaluator and a great developer of talent. I don't know about recruiting.

Hopefully it was more chavis and cooper.

Wow, this is going to hurt our future defenses. He was a CB guru. I thought we were going to hold on to him for this last year.

Two straight top 5 picks will get you a job in the NFL

Big loss.

Ya I see what you are saying. I would like us to at least try some of those other kids.

I don't like how we have confined ourselves to only recruit in the Texas/Louisiana region. Its disappointing that we fail to capitalize on monster seasons by recruiting nationally. There are a lot of kids who respect LSU and would listen if we called.

I know most of you will say we don't need to recruit nationally because we have Louisiana but that doesn't compute. The goal is to get the best players you can get no matter where they are from. There are many kids around the country that if recruited would seriously consider coming to LSU. Its very clear to me that we are lacking in the recruiting department. We will still finish with Top ten classes but with our success on the field it could be so much better.

We have stopped recruiting Florida and Georgia almost entirely.

Wrong.
LSU is unlikely to offer at this point.

Auburn is his leader.

I will be pleased but not ecstatic.
JT is number 1 on my wishlist. But the more I watch of him and Connor mitch, the more disappointed I get.

Neither are that super elite qb I wanted. They both have some flaws or gaps. Will need to see more but I question jt passing ability and Connor mitch can't through deep.
