Meyer Gave Up on Louisiana Recruiting

Urban Meyer admitted he gave up on recruiting Louisiana while at Florida, calling it too much hassle and saying Florida and Georgia had enough talent. He even acknowledged he lacked Saban’s “game” in cracking the Bayou scene—Saban famously built a Louisiana-to-Bama pipeline even when LSU was under Orgeron. Now LSU, with Orgeron back and deep local ties, is aggressively reasserting its home-state dominance, even as Texas and Alabama compete for top recruits. Meyer’s retreat versus LSU’s push highlights how local connections still matter—even with NIL changing the game. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
