WAFB in BR just did a story on this kid on the 10 PM news tonight.

There was one thread back in 2004 that went through without anti-lsu. Seriously, lsu came up naturally and someone growled... also naturally. Losing a prospect to lsu is a whole lot better than losing a prospect to others in the state, either in equal or worse "shape" to commit/sign the "highly touted ones".
UL is not in a position to compete for 3 plus star recruits like some talk about on here. It is about like someone saying "if hotter chics would date me, I could be one of those guys with hot chics for dates". No shat? It is a tough situation, but it is the way it is. In the dating world, we are in the clever "fix-her-up" business... and some have taken very little to fix... and turned out to be dang fine. Many a beauty didn't "go public" early or hard enough to get the photo opps. We are seeking them out.
I actually do not care about getting the 3 star or 4 star guy(s) because I think he is heads above the 2 star people we recruit and get. It is only a matter of the attraction getting a 3 or 4 has on other recruits... and the fans. It is far more show than substance. But, the show helps a great deal. I do want to get the better press... for what it will do for our program.
Every key issue at stake is in the hands of the people who draw a check. They are without a doubt the governor on this UL engine. There isn't a successful college program on this planet that is successful for any other reason than good management decisions. We need a 3-star or better administration. I'm waiting on the news of a new direction...
The star rating system is the best way to look at recruits right now but I think of Utah who didn't have a big time recruiting class 4 years ago and look what they did this year. I think we are recruiting well and when we take the next step I think recruiting will get better but I don't know when we will take that next step.
When we win the belt and a bowl game. I believe we will see a difference. Also, a victory against a bcs school. And nice facilities.... That's all! ;-)
