is that the main out of state focus seems to beLouisiana right now. I think that's huge. LA has some major talent, and we we're even able to get Dak away from LSU when Miles was trying to get him. I mean who knows, he might have played this year at LSU??? Anyway, sucks we don't have Montrell, and someone check on him, but we've got some LA players coming in now that look like pretty legit players and not to mention Josh Robinson and Dillon Day. Let's talk about that class for a second that was said to be a terrible class by the majority...Dillon Day, Eulls, Jamerson Love, Jameon Lewis, Wells, Malcolm Johnson, Claussell, and also Mr. Vick Ballard all played significant roles this season and all started at certain positions at some point this season. That tells me Mullen and his staff know how to evaluate and develop talent. All these players we're RS FR this year as well with the exception of Vick Ballard, but we have plenty or RBs returning and Nick Griffin looks to be good and he's from that class as well.....anyway...<div>
</div><div>Louisiana Commis:</div><div>Quadry Antoine-FS, Nickoe Whitley, Jr...real nice pick up here. My guess that LSU is just full at his position, bc this kid is a player. He murders people on film just like Whitley did at Provine, but Antoine is bigger and healthier than Whitley was when he came in, so the sky is the limit for this kid. He'll start or play a lot his RS FR or possibly his FR year if need be.</div><div>
</div><div>Torrey Bell-DE/OLB, Has frame at 6-5 to add weight, more of a developmental guy, but a guy the coaches like for his football IQ and work ethic I presume. Comes from a good school and is a winner. Team won back to back State Championships I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong. This may be Johnathan McKenzie 2.0</div><div>
</div><div>Ryan Brown-DE, Looks like a real good 3rd down pass rush end to me, but could be made into an all around DE as well.</div><div>
</div><div>I like the inroads we're making in LA, also the ones we're making in the Memphis area and also AL as well. I think those really are the main areas we need to go after and get a couple in GA and FL and maybe one or two JCs or national guys a year.</div><div>
</div><div>One other emphasis also has to be the coast. Alot of those guys in the past have gone to LSU. Getting Morrow last year and potentially getting Richie Brown this year is to go along with Nick James is a great thing. USM even comes into factor here.</div><div>
</div><div>Keep doin' what you're doin' Mullen. I approve.</div>

With the Texas A&M addition i'll be curious if we attempt to dip into Texas every now and th.hen as well. No doubt that Miss, Ala and La need to be our focus though.

Another thing that's been impressive under Mullen is that thusfar literally EVERY 4* player he's gotten in "his" recruiting classes have produced up to their potential(Damien Robinson/Joe Morrow/Matt Wells yet to be seen). Was very impressed with Arrington and PJ in limited action out of last year's class...

are where we need to be camped out IMO. These are areas that aren't serviced directly by a major university. Auburn, Alabama and LSU will get the stars out of those places but by and large we can get a ton of solid players from those 3 and the State of Mississippi (and immediate surrounding areas, like Memphis).<div>
</div><div>If we get in an airplane, we need to be flying to Atlanta. Maybe Houston/Miami/Tampa, but that should be a last resort sort of thing if you ask meh. Let the northern schools spend all their money fighting for Florida's and Texas' leftovers.</div>
