Keep in mind that we haven't been getting credit for all the guys we signed. They chose to simply ignore the fact that Hill was part of last years class. And believe it or not he looked like he might be the best back on the team this year. We got zero credit for him. Just one example.

Also Les Miles and company are better at evaluating talent than the scout, rivals etc. Not really a knock on them as they evaluate everyone (or try to cough cough Jr College) with a staff about the size of only a handful. Our coaches actually deeply dissect each players game.

Exposure. I'm thinking many of the LSU recruits dont have much film or don't attend many camps. IMO, Danielle Hunter will be a beast. He is a 4-star prospect but he looks like he will develop into a monster. His high school coach said he will be better than another prospect he coached (Von Miller). Who knows why we were rated so low in the last class.

Very well said. I told somebody the exact same thing today. I trust that our coaches know more about evaluating talent and what kind of player they want for our system than a some guy that works for Rivals or Scout. You just have to have faith in our staff and they have done nothing to give us a reason not to trust them up to this point.

Someone posted a thread a few weeks back of the reactions that were on this board when guys like Mo Claiborne, TM7 and guys like that committed. Everyone was like, Who? WTH are our coaches thinking? haha////Our staff has it under control
