Early playing time is #1 priority of most recruits period.

LSU and Alabama also have more depth and competition. Clemson can still offer early time (especially on D where they had problems) as they are rebuilding to a higher level again. There is nothing fishy about them getting quality players. Early playing time is the #1 priority for most recruits according to polls.

Why? Clemson has been a solid football program historically and is on the rise again.

Best QB in the SEC period.
Mc"Cannon" to Louisiana native Kenny Bell for TD's would be nice in Baton Rogue this year.
You also have to consider that Gundy is born and raised in Oklahoma and played/coached at OSU. Miles was a pretty good coach there but he had no real ties to the program. Gundy was raised in OSU football.
A lot of them didn't like the direction of the program under Miles. OSU had become pretty wreckless by his final year. When Gundy came in he kicked 11 players off the team within his first year.

LSU loses both those games IMO

Really? It happened two years ago.
Notre Dame is no longer in the same discussion with Alabama. Past - yes, present - no, overall - no.

Believe what you want but the results speak for themselves. Players in your state (and everywhere else) are interested for the reasons I listed.
It's a legit question.
And it shouldn't be shocking that top players in Louisiana have interest in playing there.
1. Alabama is arguably the greatest football program in history in terms of winning tradition.
2. They are the best football program in the country currently.
3. They have the best coach in the game currently
4. They have the best facilities in the country
These are all things LSU can't match.

In all honesty doesn't it sound a tad delusional?

Why do LSU fans think this is true? See a lot of them saying this on the recruiting board.

Saban normally plays 3 backs in rotation so he will need to sign a lot to keep that going with quality depth if 1 or 2 of them go down. It's common sense really.
It's just jealously. Alabama is on the verge of a dynasty with Nick Saban at the helm. Rival fans are upset and can't take it.

Worrying about stability and attending Georgia doesn't make much sense.
He be will adding to that lopsided score over Auburn last year too.
One other small thing you might not want to overlook. The best coach in college football felt he was qualified for the job. Heaven forbid I trust his intuition over yours.
You are trying to convince me by ignorning a track record of repeated success that Nussmeier has had developing QB's, and ignoring his outstanding success as a player. I am giving you facts and you're choosing to ignore them because you only want to be negative about the hire. Show me some reasons that would support why he can't do the job? Your only reason was that Sarkisian called the plays at Washington and I have shown you that he had plenty of success before he got there. Go ahead and explain all of that away too. The QB's have played outstanding everywhere this guy has been and he was a great QB himself, much better than McElwain was.
Show me why he can't do the job.

"Nuss was not the playcaller @ Washington."
Even if you don't want to give him ANY credit at Washington it doesn't take away from the fact that the QB's have played outstanding everywhere he has been and he was an outstanding QB himself. Why is it so hard to believe that he could help develop a QB?

McElwain has always been a guy who ran it up your arse for 4 quarters. He did at Fresno and did it some more at Alabama. Nussmeier is known for airing it out everywhere he has been. Most practice observes feel that Alabama has more talent at WR now than at any point in the Saban era. I would not be surprised to see McCarron passing the ball more aggressively this year.
Look at what he did outside of the Washington job (since you don't want to give him any credit there). I would say he brings some new qualities that McElwain didn't. Instead of assuming nothing but negative take a look at the many positives. Why is it so hard for you to believe that a guy who was very good quarterback himself could develop someone else to have ths same success? Nussmeier was a damn good quarterback in college.
------------------------------------------------
He joined the Fresno State staff after having spent two seasons as the quarterbacks coach for the St. Louis Rams on the staff of head coach Scott Linehan, a former UW offensive coordinator.
While with the Rams, he coached Marc Bulger, who was named to his second Pro Bowl in 2006, finishing with 4,301 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and only eight interceptions.
Before his time with the Rams, Nussmeier was the QB coach at Michigan State for three seasons. In 2005, Spartans quarterback Drew Stanton passed for a school-record 3,415 yards, breaking a record set by another Nussmeier pupil, Jeff Smoker, who threw for 3,395 yards in 2003. Smoker also set MSU records for completions (302), attempts (488) and passing touchdowns (21).
Nussmeier, who played in both the NFL and the Canadian Football League, began his coaching career in the CFL. In 2001, he was the quarterbacks coach for the British Columbia Lions and then, in 2002, served as the offensive coordinator and QBs coach for the Ottawa Renegades.
During his outstanding collegiate career at Idaho, Nussmeier passed for 10,824 yards and averaged 309.1 yards per game in total offense for his career. Along with Steve McNair and Daunte Culpepper, he is one of only three QBs in NCAA history to total 10,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing during his career.
He also set Idaho school records for TD passes (91), passing efficiency (154.4), completion percentage (.609) and total offense (12,054 yards). In 1993, he won the Walter Payton Award, Division I-AA's version of the Heisman Trophy. That year, he led Idaho to an 11-3 record and set a school record with 33 TD passes. He was also the Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year in 1992, when the Vandals went 9-3 and won the conference crown

He needed long visits with offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier to learn the system. They would write down each set of plays in different colors to make it easier. Price kept studying, kept smiling. After a while, the offense became manageable.
"He's grown up in this system, and it's a real good credit to Doug Nussmeier in training this guy," Sarkisian said. "From where he was the first day of training camp his freshman year to where he is now, he's been fantastic."
--------------------------------------------
Sounds like Sark gave him a lot of the credit for quarterback development.

Maybe because you only want to think about the possible negatives?
Nuss did a great job with Jake Locker and Keith Price had an outstanding debut last year. I am interested to see what he can do with McCannon.

LSU had people doing his schoolwork for him obviously.
It was a disgrace to women's basketball.
I think the 2 NC over the last 4 years probably has more to do with it than playing Jack linebacker.
