Larry Porter's departure hasn't hurt LSU's recruiting yet

Links to Memphis returns! I've been on vacation for most of the past month, and during the one week I was at work, I was filling in as editor of GoMemphis.com, which allowed me very little time to blog. So let's get back to it ...

The Daily Reveille of Louisiana State University looks at LSU's football recruiting situation after the program's primary headhunter, Larry Porter, left the bayou to take the head-coaching job at the University of Memphis. It doesn't sound like any of the three-, four- or five-star prospects will be joining Porter -- a two-time Rivals.com National Recruiter of the Year -- in Memphis. However, there's no guarantee that all of his charges will stick with LSU now that he is gone.

"As far as the committed prospects go, everyone that Larry Porter recruited still say they're solid with their commitments, and they intend to follow through and sign with LSU," said Scout.com recruiting analyst Sonny Shipp. "It's still early. You're going to have to look and see who the new running backs coach is and how those guys are able to forge a relationship with the new guy. And so losing Porter could come into play down the road."
