LSU added 27 players from 11 different states on Wednesday and Thursday. A breakdown of the Tigers’ “target zone” is below:
Louisiana = 12 recruits
California = 2
Florida = 2
Georgia = 2
Mississippi = 2
North Carolina = 2
Illinois = 1
Nebraska = 1
New Jersey = 1
Tennessee = 1
Virginia = 1
In-State Signees = 44.4%
Out-Of-State Signees = 55.5%
Observation:
Aside from Nick Saban, is there anyone in the SEC who makes recruiting look this easy year-in and year-out? Credit Saban for kickstarting the juggernaut on the Bayou, but Miles has continued to land just about any top Louisiana prospect he goes after. This year he inked seven of the state’s top 10 recruits and it would have been eight if defensive back Jeremy Cutrer hadn’t had to go the juco route to qualify. There’s nothing mad about Miles’ recruiting hat. He wears it well.
