    But I thought Kiffin hired away all the best recruiters in the conference :confused:

    I'm also glad we have him

    Certainly Kiffin hired one recruiter who hats LSU and I am now convinced, the entire state.

    Congrats to to Coach Porter, the first two-time winner of the Rivals.com Recruiter of the Year! :LSU231:

    Previous winners:

    2009 -- LSU's Larry Porter
    2008 -- Bama's Lance Thompson (now at Tenn)
    2007 -- LSU's Larry Porter
    2006 -- Penn State's Larry Johnson
    2005 -- Florida State's Kevin Steele (went to Bama in 2007, now at Clemson)

    Les Miles hired Porter to be his RB coach when he was head coach at Oklahoma State. Porter has been the RB coach for Les for 8 years straight.

    Who was our coach that left to go to Kansas or Ok. State maybe during the Coach O ordeal? I thought it was him but evidently it wasn't.

    I assume Porter will be RC if Henson leaves, correct?

    I hope so, but I don't know if Porter necessarily wants the position.

    Remember, he has a lot to do coaching the RBs, whereas Henson only coached the TEs and was not very active on that front from what I know.

    I think we will hire another TE coach/recruiting coordinator.

    I think Porter should probably be left in the capacity he is currently in.
