The recruiting battle for two four-star players from Louisiana comes down to an interesting threesome — LSU, Alabama and TCU.
Two of the biggest heavyweights in college football are going against the Horned Frogs for safety Todd Harris of Plaquemine, La., and defensive tackle Phidarean Mathis of Monroe (La.) Neville.
Most likely, the heavyweights will get their way. Both players appear headed to LSU or one to LSU and the other to Alabama.
So why isn’t TCU backing off? Why put the time and resources into a battle against the odds with two of the titans of recruiting?
