by the fat asses who cover recruiting? I dont think our LBs are that good but damn, nobody at Rivals knows anything about actual football.

Agree about that here's the article
"MOST OVERRATED PLAYER: LSU LB Perry Riley. Riley was one of 12 finalists for the Butkus Award last season, given annually to the nation's best linebacker. Riley might have been one of the top 12 linebackers in the SEC last season. But one of the 12 best in the nation? No way. He finished the season with 60 tackles, third-best on the team, and didn't do much in the Tigers' five losses, coming up with 22 combined stops in those games. And for those who want to talk about LSU's talent at linebacker, consider that the Tigers haven't had a linebacker drafted since Bradie James in 2003 - and he's the only one since 1989."

how the hell did he finish as a finalist for that anyway? Must have a relative on the committee.

this says it all

we just don't recruit well there ..Ali was a great undersized college LB, and Darry showed flashes of brilliance as a Soph - then progressively got worse when he ran through some injuries

I cannot think of the last recruiting where I said: man, I feel good about our MLB class
