Davis decommitted because he is a huge Texas fan. The only reason he committed to LSU in the first place was because Texas had not. Hunter decommitted because he wanted to be closer to home. If Marsh decommits, it will be for the same reason. Coaching, W-L records, Crowton, trends and other such things did not have a lot to do with it. All these things were in place when they committed to LSU in the first place.
So far, I think the people who say distance, and homerism were the reasons for the decommits of the two WRs were right...but if any one thinks the fact that our offense was 112 out of 120 was a non factor you're kidding yourself. I promise you the opposing recruiters sold our pitiful offense to these kids. I know I would have....and that's not negative recruiting at all...it's the truth. And this is coming from a "sunshine pumper and "Miles defender".
Re: Why do we keep loosing recruits??? So who do we lose next? Looking at the commits we have for this class that could play skill positions on offense... --8 of them are from out of state, only 3 are from Louisiana. So those 8 are all gone, especially the 5-star RB from Ohio. --10 of them have offers to go to schools that have offenses that were in the Top 25 in total offense this last season, so they are all gone. Looks like the only guy we'll have on NSD is the FB we got from Georgia.

wow, what a negative post about losing recruits. I realize we lost a few top receivers, but come on man.
Guys Joe Alleva not firing miles is going to kill us....our program is imploding right in fron of us and most of you are still in denial...it is time to stop defending this guy and realize he was a bad hire from day on ei said it then i said it when he won the national championship and im still saying....i told u so and ill be there to tell u i told u so next year...and ill be hurting inside cuz he is killing my team and university... i love the pr\urple and gold too much to watch this unfold
ha, nice Miles drives me crazy as well, but I'm willing to give him one more year before I completely slam him. Gary though, he gets no love. Not sure why I hate Gary so much more than Les, but I do.
