And as asinine as it sounds, and McCartney has even stated as much - we did luck out with where we were in history (1980s), the gang wars of L.A., and our school colors. Not joking.
It also helped that 1/2 of the SWC was on double secret probation at the time, SMU had been given the death penalty, and several others were not bowl eligible. That opened up Texas and especially Houston. Add to that the SEC was not the King's of CFB at the time and LSU was all but a doormat. Thats how we got into New Orleans. That is the recipe for top 10 recruiting classes
