    He isnt cherry picking Louisiana. He gets the rare big recruit and a sprinkling of left overs.

    He's the best at recruiting guys with size, speed, talent...but he doesn't care about recruiting guys with aptitude, discipline, and work ethic (see Lacy and Sentimore, great talents from Louisiana that LSU wouldn't touch because of their poor aptitude, discipline and work ethic)...Saban will take pretty much anybody regardless of their aptitude, discipline or work ethic, as long as they have talent (and he has various degrees of success with that, he succeeded with Lacy, failed with Sentimore)

    Last year Alabama got 8 players out of Georgia. This year, so far, just two. It's a case of supply and demand. And frankly, all big recruits are rare.

    It is and yes he did........have a relative that played in the game for STM and said in the 4th qtr he walked over to their huddle and was telling them good game and how he had never been tackled that hard etc, congratulating them on playing so hard and wishing them the best for the rest of the season.

    Tackling him so hard appeared to me as hardly tackling him at all, I think he had almost 300 yards, maybe more....he looked like a man playing against little boys. Best player I've ever seen in HS......not that I've seen that many. Also, he kicked off every time and put it through the back of the end zone.

    He doesn't need to come to the state when he just Skype's whoever he is talking with on some 100" screen.

    Best player I've ever seen at the high school level was Cecil Collins. I don't think I've ever seen anyone else that has ever been remotely close to him.

    Yep that's the game I got to see him in too.....I was on the field for that one, one of the officials. He was like that the whole game. I think he finished with 320ish that game. Where is the QB going? I think he is a bergeron kid.....he's going to be a nice surpise for wherever he goes......I was very impressed with him this year.

    Not sure, seems like I've heard Cajuns, McNeese or Tulane, he did look good passing.
