Fong says LSUs chances of having 1st ranked class are “good”, but Bama & UGA still fav.

Current Ranking: No. 4 (287.90) Forecast to finish No. 1: Good Brian Kelly and his first-year staff have as much momentum on the trail as any program in the country right now as the Tigers heat up on the field and control their own destiny to the SEC Championship Game — and perhaps beyond. Currently sitting at No. 4 in the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings, this class sits at 25 pledges and bubbling up for more. Coming out of another visit to Baton Rouge this past weekend which included LSU’s win over Alabama, I logged a 247Sports Crystal Ball Forecast in favor of the Tigers for five-star cornerback Desmond Ricks. The Bayou Bengals have looked like the one to beat since the IMG Academy standout announced he was reclassifying at the end of last month. LSU is in the lead group for five-star athlete Nyckoles Harbor, they’re the 247Sports Crystal Ball for highly-ranked defensive back Javien Toviano and they appear to be in the top two or three for coveted edge rusher Tausili Akana. Kelly and company are also trying to work a flip or two down the stretch including Georgia offensive tackle commit Bo Hughley, who was on campus over the weekend.

The fact that LSU is in the discussion for #1 tells me either way, we’ll bag an elite class.

We're not getting Harbor. He's a very academically motivated kid so it's obvious why he's leaning towards Michigan

I find it silly that he declares Alabama a near lock, then says Georgia has a great chance, and that even moreso LSU has a good chance to finish number one.

Sorry but that is simply nonsensical.

Alabama favorite, Georgia decent chance, LSU outside chance.

I could care less about the #1 spot. Top 5 with Players that fit the scheme and attitude of the team is what I want to see signed. The alignment continues!

I don’t pay attention to recruiting services stars.

Wayyyy to many two and three stars that arrive at LSU and end up going in the first and second round of the NFL draft to pay attention to how many stars rivals.com gives a high school player.

If we somehow seal the deal with Toviano and Ricks, we should all consider this to be a huge win regardless who ends up with the #1 class. 9 months ago no one imagined Brian Kelly would have this team on the verge of a SEC Championship game appearance and a top 3 class overall.
