of course distance is important, but with a stable offense and an overall better on the field product we probably would have been able to overcome it.

I don't go there anymore.

Too many experts that signed up in November.

Too many bandwagoners that know nothing but 10 win seasons.

Wish there was not a link from there to here.

First you would have to confirm he reads TigerDroppings. Without that it is all speculation, then, then you would have to wonder if he is a free thinker or only believes what he reads on that message board.

If Hunter does sign with another school, I believe it will be partly due to all the negative talk on message boards concerning LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton and the quarterback situation. All big-time college prospects look forward to playing at a school with a stable coaching staff and positive fans.

Do you think our "fan base" spewing a bunch of anti-program crap anywhere is helpful? Here they can do it anomalously and repeatedly. The self fulfilling prophetic geniuses that they are.

what a joke. i think recruits care more about the performance of the team and coaches than what we are saying on here. all teams have fansites like this that critique the job the coaches are doing. it's not like we are in a unique situation and this is the only site that has negative things beind said on it.

i'm sure he's visited the tennessee sites (aka meltdown central) the last few days to see what they thought of dooley. you can't tell me all those reviews were glowing.

From a guy I talked to in the VA Beach who is pretty reliable when it comes information concerning kids in the area,he says that Hunter wanted to go to Tennessee all along because it;s closer to home but he and his family had reservations about the Kiffen coaching staff.They were very excited when a new coach was brought in and the decision became a no brainer for Hunter and family.It wasn't the offense or the coaching or Dooley stealing him.The kid had his mind made up as soon as kiffen was gone.TIFWIW

You will aee it soin tool. People already sayin he isnt goung to have a football career. People were bashing reef also when we had hunter and davis committed. People bash the coaches for extending scholarships to kids like blackmon, bates, and marsh.

But how many fanbases hate a coach who is 51-14?

What purpose is served by posting the negative stuff on The Recruiting board.

Are all of the negative posters coming here because they can't find anyone to argue with them anymore on The Rant?

I am serious. Why did all of you guys come to the Recruiting board to vent?

I know you want to get rid of Miles and Crowton. I am not arguing for them or even really defending them.

I just want to know why you think this shite should be posted here.

yes, the idiots that constantly bash our program on here and say all this gloom and doom definately plays a factor. While the recruit himself may not know about these websites I can assure you that friends or family of the recruits do and they tell the recruit about the crap on here. I know this b/c when I was in high school, we a big time profile player that LSU was recruiting at my school. There was another friend of mine at a rival school that also played at LSU. They would talk about all these websites and is actually how I came across some of these. Yall are fools if yall don't think this doesn't play into recruits thought process



I don't know how much of a factor it is but it is a factor - people who don't think so should ask themselves how they would feel about it if they were the recruit in question

Coach Trent Johnson signed four big-time prospects in the last signing class that was ranked as high as number 10 in at least one class ranking. All four signees had scholarship offers from at least 20 schools. Below are their names. I believe that three of the four will start as true freshmen.

Andre Stringer, PG, 5-10, 170, Jackson, Mississippi

quote:

Ralston Turner F, 6-6, 193, Muscle Shoals, AL

Jalen Courtney PF, 6-7, 200, Jackson, MS




For a man who actually ahs trouble differentiating between the numbers 3 and 4, I wouldn't take what he has to say too seriously...

they are to ignorant to understand the question you ask.

They see nor understand any harm. Therefore, they keep restating their issue/point over and over again.

anything negative i have posted on here about the staff has involved reasoning as to why or why not we lost out on a recruit. feel free to go through my post history and quote what you don't like. i brought the hunter info over here and the marsh info that many people said was bs. looks like it was true. i want what is best for LSU and for us to have the staff and players that match the status of the program. it's just that when people wonder why we lost out on a guy it's hard not to ignore the on the field product and call those who are responsible for it out.

people should ask themselves what their motivation for posting it here is.

Do they think the Recruiting board regulars need to be educated on how bad our coaching staff is?

Do they not understand a lot of the Recruiting board posters may feel the same way but keep it on the Rant or to themselves?

Are they doing it so they will look good when Crowton/Les get fired?

I can think of no other reason for posting the negative stuff on this site.

Why can't all this shite stay on the Rant?

I'd probably feel a little more worried after watching the last 2 seasons than from reading a message board

To argue this situation with Hunter is ludicrous. We are talking about Hunter going to a team with more internal problems than Rosie Odonnell after eating 4 bowls of chile.

Hunter is going to Tennessee it seems, a team who has been thru much much more turmoil.

Debunked.

If a player is down to LSU and another school,all the other team's recruter has to do is give the player the advice to see TD.And then judge for himself.
