The Birmingham press has each of the big 3 sports listed, but I wanted to bring baseball over because it surprised me, and at the same time, it didn't.

Cohen was obviously busting his *** recruiting, while I think its obvious that RP and his crew were doing jackshit. Also, look at the jump in LSU's expenditures from when Smoke left to Mainieri's arrival. Laval wasn't doing jackshit either it seems.

Basketball I didn't care about, because Stansbury gets the job done usually in terms of recruiting, and Crooms was a lost cause, so his numbers are skewed. We could have spent 1 million dollars on football recruiting and it wouldn't have made a difference.

how much money does it take for recruiting when 90% of it is done ON CAMPUS at your baseball camps. I'm sort of surprised Polk and company spent that much.
