From Lake Charles, LA. Looks like coach Gautreau is hitting la hard. It appears that there are some more lake Charles players that we might be after. Hopefully Dawg61 doesn?t ruin this thread.

He won't. Is it a Barbe kid?
So looking at our classes going forward - 2020 we have 9commits,, 21- 8, 22-3 and 23- 2. The 20 class last will start to see some movement soon. Several good drafts in that group too. Which is part of it. I like how we are going about it-recruit the elite, oversign and know you will lose some. But you can't get them on campus if you don't sign them.
LSU dominates Louisiana and always will with or without a lottery. They have a rich tradition like us and they grow up wanting to play for LSU before going to MLB. Maybe Ginn will start the attitude of MSU fans wanting to play for MSU before going to MLB.
TOPS is in danger of running out or being discontinued. It will actually hurt their out of state recruiting more because what they do is get a local player who would probably walk-on the TOPS money and it allows them more flexibility to give money to an out of state player. The rules where x amount have to be on scholarship hurts them some on that though.
Some of that was Cohen trying to rebuild us as quickly as possible. I think in 2015 it just bottomed out on us along with the baseball changing. And I think the class that really started to change it was our 2015 class which to kick the ant hill was the first one with an 8th grade recruit in it with LA, Stovall, and Mangum in it. Recruiting JUCO's was very hit or miss for us- Nate Lowe and Jack Kruger helped us fill holes in 2016 to help us win the SEC but at the same time as I mentioned 2015 was really bad.
This staff is full of the best recruiters in America. LeMo is a recruiting genius and goTro is quickly becoming a machine.
