We're hitting up NC this year. There a QB and RB prospect in Matthews, MC that LSU has also offered. Maybe Trent can tag along with Krags and snag us a couple guards.

 

Surprised 247 has him rated so low. I have to say, that probably isn't going to stick. His highlights are excellent. I'd be happy with him being our only QB in this class.

 

LOL, that was from me. As soon as I saw something about C. Mitch and LSU a few weeks ago, I started getting all my friends to show him some Tiger Love on Twitter lol. Soon after he made the remarks of "Gotta love LSU fans" and "1/3 of my followers are from LSU"

The national perspective for LSU fans right now is that we are mean and cold-hearted, especially to our own. I am trying to change that notion and get as many Tiger fans as possible to show support and love to all of our current players, and all the 2013 recruits. So far we got like 15-20 who follow all the top recruits and send random supporting LSU tweets to them. We have been getting good feedback from lots of them; as you can see, C. Mitch is one of them.

Most of these kids nowadays Tweet A LOT! And they love getting tweets sent their way. Twitter could be a "game changer" in recruiting for the future. The kids spend most of their time on it, and read most of the tweets that are sent their way. It's a great chance for us to talk honestly with recruits and show them that we support and love all of TigerNation. We have gotten great feedback so far, and will only get better as the recruiting process moves further along.

Main problem is that I do not have a lot of TigerNation following us lol, so I need everyone who has Twitter to spread the word and show recruits some Tiger love!! Let's change the nation's opinion of us!! My Twitter is @WhoDatSaintsLSU... follow me and check out people I follow for the recruits names. GeauxTigers!!!!

 

Well....we are. You're right about that. Just look at all the Miles and Jefferson hate out there the last bunch of years. It definitely goes beyond criticism.

You're right for trying to change how others perceive LSU, but for real change, you might want to design a 12 step program for it. :yelwink2:

 

The only thing that counteract negativity, is "Positivity."
Good job.

 

Be selective in who you recruit for Twitter. They may be showing the love now but might reveal an uglier side later.

 

Connor Mitch tweeted that he has an offer from LSU and a really good time was had.
