You may have hit the nail on the head. Playing for a certain program does not carry as much weight as it used to, at least for the blue chippers. They are the greatest impact makers, and they only are looking for a coach or scheme that will elevate their draft status. And it also shows the importance of timing. Nick hanging around to coach the team Jan 1 delays the arrival of a new coach and perhaps hinders LSU's recruiting.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Happy holidays to you and your family.
