Former teammate reveals one of Ed Orgeron’s key recruiting tactics

The LSU Tigers are flying high these days.

From playing in the National Championship game, to landing top five recruiting classes, it’s all coming up aces for the Tigers.

LSU’s current success, however, didn’t happen overnight. It’s a result of the work that head coach Ed Orgeron and his staff started putting in back in 2015 and 2016, when Coach O was the defensive line coach, and later the interim head coach at LSU.

Being successful in college football hinges on two things — development and recruiting. You can recruit great players, but if you don’t develop them, you won’t last long as a head coach.
