It's a simple law of physics. Too many people fishing from the same pond dries up the pond. Too many people going after JUCO players means there just simply aren't enough to go around. When every single elligible player from your football program is signing full ride LOIs the first morning of early signing day. It tells me all I need to know about where to send my son. Because the division1 programs have become derilict in their duty to follow, study, recruit, & raise their own talent.

Now they are almost all depending on recruiting sites. But the recruiting sites are all depending on them instead of doing their own work. It's a house of cards. & the bigger the house, the greater the implosion. The fact is that UL had probably the best offensive line & defensive line camp in the country a year ago. They had some of the finest linemen in the whole United States come in & they signed eight linemen. Then they had another one walk on. Then they got my number one rated lineman in this state from Plaquemine High this year. LSU got nothing. They went the JUCO route into California where agian every single player on every single roster is being picked clean by the D-1 schools. I don't see why these so called recruiting budgets even need to exist with the laziness of the D-1 coaches out there.

They don't get off their high horses & go anywhere anymore. They simply sit inside their castle walls & depend on their little network of informants to come to them. What happens when that network of informants gets fat & sassy? All of a sudden the wheels come off. And what makes the train wreck at LSU even more comical is that everybody, & I mean everybody is saying the exact same things while the chasis is breaking to pieces underneath the cars. Oh it's impossible. It can't happen there. They are on auto-pilot. I assure it can happen there. And it will happen there, just as easily as it can happen here. And if we begin to get overly satisfied with the accomplishements of this program so far. We will then be not far behind.

Anyone who thinks I'm out of my head, please refer to the university of Michigan with it's 100thousand plus thousand followers. How about Nebraska, or Miami? From dust thou were made & unto dust thou shalt return. What you do in between is what everyone remembers.
Nice post! I agree, if your coaches are worth their pay and then some, they will do at least 2 things. One go out and recruit HS kids then 2) mold them into College Men that know how to play the game of Football!
