NEW ORLEANS -- New LSU head coach Ed Orgeron has always been known as an excellent recruiter, but if the Tigers hope to overtake Alabama in the SEC West, it all starts with keeping key recruits at home and away from the Crimson Tide.
In the 2017 recruiting cycle, Alabama signed five prospects that were ranked in either the ESPN 300 or junior college ranking from the state of Louisiana. To put that in perspective, LSU signed the same amount of players in the rankings from the state of Louisiana last year.
