Fans melting over recruits

Speaking from being an experienced lsu fan, the thing I think most of us are tired of is losing 5 star players who we should have closed on. We've just been stung for some many years by players like Joe McKnight,Landon Collins,Davonta Smith and out of state players like Jordan Burch,Desmond Ricks and now Colin Simmons. We've always recruited constantly in the top 10 and occasionally the type 5 area. It's the Alabama,UGA,Ohio state and Clemson who always seem to take thier recruiting to the next level and get out of state elite recruits no matter what. We do very good recruiting finding a lot diamonds in the rough type players like J.Jets and the honeybadger.If we can some how become a top 3 to 5 program recruiting consistently that's when LSU will become a consistent juggernaut. Now with NIL teams like Texas,A&M,USC who haven't done anything in the past decade are starting to catch up. We got to put ourselves in the top tier if we want to become a national domnating recruiting team.

Ok but NO ONE is going to be able to hold onto guys like they used to so I’m not sure how much it matters at the end of a cycle. The current form of NIL is not sustainable and there will be regulation. It’s inevitable. In the NFL, LSU is represented as well, if not better, than all of the teams you mentioned. We have stars all over the league. There are no 5 stars better than those “diamonds in the rough you mentioned”. It’s just recruiting perception and it’s overblown. I’d love to get everybody but recruiting titles do not equal a natty. LSU wins championships. That is a fact. Not everyone else can say that no matter how much money they spend. If it were that simple everyone would do it.

Go back and look at lsu last 10 years of recruiting lsu is not occasionally in the top 5 its per 247 since 2014- lsu is 2-5-2 7-14-5-4-3-12-6 and in 2023 newer on3 has lsu at 5th and rivals to. Thats 6 at least and 7 top 5 classes if counting on3 and rivals lsu 23 ranking!! Out of last 10 classes!! So dont give me that lsu occasionally in the top 5 bs. Also compare clemsons classes since 2014 til now they and it shocked me to have been occasionally in the top 5 since then, but they have done a great job with less tho??

it's the recruiting board and it's august. there are no other sports going on. recruiting is a bid deal. this is a message board. it's a place for people to vent.
nobody is really freaking out. -- well mostly nobody.
there were lots of big players we missed on. Speedy Noil and Soph were probably two of the biggest on paper.
it's what the recruiting board is for. you "melting" over people "melting" (see how that works?) just adds extra melt.
only time will tell how good this recruiting class will be. 99% of posters are aware of this.
regardless, everyone wants to land the high profile guys. but nobody is going to melt if Simmons goes to UT.

and now Colin Simmons.
He hasn't announced yet.
Our fans are in pre-melt, which is even more embarrassing.
Seriously, yall need to quit losing your shite over a high school recruit that hasn't even announced yet, much less signed his LOI. I cannot even begin to fathom how yall handle real crisis in your lives.

Davonta Smith
I agree on everyone but this. It's just a fact that every once in a while you're going to lose a highly touted prospect at WR from Louisiana. We put out so damn many that you can't take them all.
I know this sounds like hyperbole but you could seriously make a case that in 2019, Smith was the 7 best WR on the field in that LSU-Bama game. It is what it is.

I just hate how it seems that we have to work our butts off to get a 5-star instate/out of state recruit to come here, but the Alabama's, Georgia's and somewhat to a degree Texas A&M seem to just snap their fingers and get the instate AND out of state 5 stars with ease.
That's at least to me the way it feels

Are you drunk? Since 2019 we have had a top 5 class every year except last year and our overall with the portal our class was 7th with a brand new coach. Let’s just face the music an accept the fact that this NIL shite is not great for LSU. Most of the money is going to the elite talent so it’s going to spread the elite talent around to schools with shite piles of cash. If it wasn’t for money Texas and Texas A&M would not be signing elite classes which makes it pretty obvious what is driving recruiting and recruits these days. So with that being said we need to be happy with signing 2 or so 5 stars and locking down Louisiana because I’ll take the right 3-4 star from New Orleans over a 5 star from Wisconsin any day of the week. If we want to win titles we have to be the portal kings, recruit in the top 7 or so classes every year,and lock down the state. We aren’t signing a number 1 high school only recruiting class when you can pay players
