Nice article about Dak's football camp and Haughton visit. Good video and photos.

I would like to see State continue to maintain a presence in north Louisiana. Billboards with Dak. Billboards with Dillon Day. With Josh Robinson. Let them know that there is an alternative to LSU.

Would be nice. Seems to me that TCU is beating us to the punch though.

Coaches going

on radio shows to pimp this obviously isn't included...***

I doubt Mullen would give one ounce of input into our Athletic Department and Media Relations placing billboards in LA. And billboards don't do interviews during football season. But please remain obsessed with me.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Who said he's

in charge of placing billboards?

If you sTILL can't see how Mullen pimping Dak is a good thing, and nothing but it, then you're helpless.

Josh Robinson is from a town 5 hours away from Shreveport, I don't think anyone up there would even know about him.

That is very true, but I'm referring to what is going on in northwest LA right now. I am not aware of any top HS players in that area committing to State now but I do think two or three have recently chosen TCU. We got a big offensive lineman from Haughton last year, but I honestly cannot recall if he was highly sought after by other SEC or Big 12 programs or not. Grades may have been the reason. Still glad we got him and I'm sure Dak's career at State helped us.

Edited to add that TCU's crown jewel in recruiting for the 2018 class is a QB from Parkway HS in Shreveport-Bossier City. This kid is apparently the real deal. He chose TCU because QB is a huge need there. QB is NOT a big need for State though with Thompson in the boat and the kid from the Dallas area committed. So this kid choosing TCU in no way reflects upon our recruiting. It does cast doubts on LSU's QB recruiting once again. Now, WR is a huge need for State and a 5 star WR is also on this same Parkway High School team... Get over there pronto, Billy G!

We beat TCU out for Dak...

I'm not sure it says a lot about LSUs ability to recruit a QB but more about their lack of success in developing the QBs they do recruit. It seems here in the past decade or so that LSU is where QBs go to under achieve.

You old senile ***. Take your namenda and listen. I have no problem with Mullen pumping his relationship to, and experience with, Dak. What i do have a problem with is a coach who we are paying $5,000,000 taking time to do podcasts during a week in which we are playing a football game about a football player who no longer plays football here. Especially when that coach already showed us he can lose to South 17'ing Alabama and Kentucky. Im sorry you are so b u t t h u r t by that statement that this all you can think of everyday.
So go ahead and always get that last statement in so we can stop arguing about it as i will once again have to take the high road here.

 

[KurtRambis4]

So you

are against Dan going on a nationally syndicated show for 15 mins, pimping one of the best QBs in the NFL. Gotcha.

Louisiana is 'loaded' at WR position in the '18 class. Eight are listed in 'Top 25' in the state. Think we are recruiting Jason & Houston the hardest.

1. Terrace Marshall (WR), 6'4", 190, Parkway
4. Devonta Jason (WR), 6'3", 187, Landry-Walker
6. Kenan Jones (WR), 6'3", 210, Berwick [former LSU commitment]
12. Jammal Houston (WR), 6'2", 180, John Ehret
14. Lawrence Keys III (WR), 5'11", 160, McDonogh
15. JaMarr Chase (WR), 6'2", 195, Archbishop Rummel
22. Jaray Jenkins (WR), 6'1", 175, Jena [LSU commitment]
23. Jordan Vallien (WR), 6'3", 185, Alexandria Senior High

Les Miles wanted to recruit Dak as a tight end which pretty much sums up Miles ability to appropriately spot talent. Mullen tends to fill roster with teachable athletes and let them play the position they want (Malik Dear at WR) instead of where they're needed(Malik Dear at fullback).

Is it alright if Mullen sleeps during that week? I mean for 5 mil he should work round the clock right?

Can he touch his wife during that week? What about read his kids a story? It all seems like such wasted time.

 

[Xusuromohses]

Louisiana is certainly a state that should be vital to our football recruiting efforts. As is Alabama.

Baseball is a different story, I don't think the scholarship situation sets up well for us there.

 

[Shamoan]

you had me until fullback.

Insert running back. I was half asleep
