LSU 8th in SEC recruiting class rankings

I hate our fans

We are better than those teams. This place is insufferable.

WATCH THEIR FILM! Look at their Accolades!

Do you think these programs will retain and develop their players better than LSU's staff? Please opine.

LSU 8th in SEC recruiting class rankings

you mean the rankings generated by goofballs who copy and paste each other? why does it matter?

Smith and Wingo are prime examples of why you shouldn't care about "rankings"

one was a 5 star and the other was a 3 star. One plays like a 5 star and the other like 3 star but if you drooled over the experts well then...........

From now on, look at On3. They are tapped into the actual talent in the state of Louisiana. A subscription is like a buck for the first month. You'll feel less hysterical after you get one and there will be less drool pooling in the corner of your mouth.

First off it's a down year in Louisiana so there's gonna be either a bunch of gems or busts.

Other than that this class is a great (not perfect) position group filler at worst.

Using On3 getting 17 4-stars is a pretty good outcome. The only team with more is UGA. Add 5-stars plus 4-stars and we're 4th. It's more those 10 3-stars drug us down than anything.

Let them eat cake

Florida isn't going to finish well.

AU is WR and DB heavy. Rankings are solely from prospect rankings and don't take roster building into consideration.

LSU at least players from every position group.

#1 TE
#1 RB
3 4* LBS
4 CBs
2 4* S + Gilber
4 DL
1 quality Edge
5 OL
1 QB + Swann
3 4* WR + Thomas from MSU

BK is building a roster.

Honestly, some of you just take these calculations as gospel without any consideration of the specifics or the wild variations depending on the source. On3 thinks LSU has the 6th best class overall which is more than enough to compete. The industry composite average may have LSU just outside the Top 10 and in 7th in the new SEC, but what are the actual differences in the strengths of those classes? Florida, Oklahoma, and Auburn have 1 or 2 5-stars LSU does not currently have in their class but LSU has 17 4-stars or above to only 16 for Oklahoma and only 12 for Florida and Auburn. I know all 4-stars are not created equal, but is 2 more 5-stars really better than 7 more 4-stars? I don’t think there’s any reason to panic over arbitrary formulas when LSU has as many 4-star and above recruits as anyone except Georgia (21) and Texas (one more at 18). And that’s not even getting into the value in the number of recruits even when it comes to the 3-stars when at least some % of them are likely to be diamonds in the rough.
