re: LSU ranked #8 in Scout's latest class rankings

quote:

---

For whatever reason, their highly recruited players usually don't pan out as well compared to other schools.

not entirely true---past four years the 5 star recruits from notre dame are the following:

jimmy clausen
dayne crist
manti teo
kyle rudolph
mike floyd

only one of those guys will likely not have a productive career and that is dayne crist who has had two season ending knee surgeries.

difference between this class and other classes is that ND is recruiting stud defensive linemen (three 5 stars). the recruits listed above mostly all offensive skill players. it remains to be seen how well BK will utilize this talent because weis obviously failed.
