It is very likely that with Guidry and Jackson at Miami and Raymond back at L$U, we'll be looking at some epic secondary recruiting battles both in the 25 cycle and the future.

A second intriguing story here is multiple posters have been pleading for years for us to open a pipeline in Louisiana. The problem is L$U normally has that state on complete lockdown. However, Brian Kelly is going to make Raymond's work infinitely harder and has potentially opened the door to the state

Starting with his fake accent



To his "dancing"





But most importantly, in a world of College Football filled with coaches with "questionable" ethics, Brian Kelly stands head and shoulders above the slimiest of them.





L$U and Kelly currently have a lot of momentum. Will it last? Can we establish a foothold in the boot?

WOW that dance he did on Walker Howard may be less sexual than his grinding but it’s just as cringe
 
OP updated with a number of additional recruitments. I know I'm missing others, please post players that Kelly and Mario have both seriously recruited.
 
It is very important that Mario dominate LSU on the recruiting trail, because he isn't ever going to out coach Kelly.

I 100% agree with you.

I also wonder how it would go over with the powers that be on this board if something like this were said about, say, Cubans.

If they old shriveled and built like a rusted mattress spring and dance like that goofy *** dude then I would stand by my statement for that particular person who is Cuban.

Nah, not the same exact statement, because Cubans can dance. I’m thinking more along the lines of some equally stereotypical, yet true, statement about Cubans.
