Bleacher report.

Les Miles, despite his mishaps during games, has always been a solid recruiter, but this year he severely missed the mark. It’s hard to call the 2012 a disappointment because the school did get a few players that could pan out to be fantastic, but for a program like LSU to not get a single 5-star recruit is a bit disappointing.
Bleacher report though.

There is also a different article on the same site that gives a slightly different perspective. The truth about this class, as with all recruiting classes, will not be known for several years. It is important to be patient and wait and see. I remember how excited everyone was that we signed Russell Sheppard - and while he has been servicable, he has certainly not been a program changer. It is mostly the diamonds in the rough that have led to the success we have seen this year.

There is very little doubt that the offensive debacle in the BCS title game has cost LSU severely. Aside from the national championship and a perfect season, it has done some damage to the Tigers' recruiting class.
Funny how the top La players we lost were on the defensive side of the ball. Kiel was brought in after the game and had committed and decommitted already from Stanford I believe. Just wishy washy

Key words from this article that sum up this recruiting class:
"While good, it’s not elite."
We have come to expect elite. We anwt our team to be elite - a national championship contender year in and year out - and that's not the kind of class we got this year.
