Big props to Mills for making it where he has. I never knew that he not only was "just a 2 star" but we were also his best offer. He'll currently be entering his third year as a versatile DB who can play safety and cornerback. I've enjoyed his play since his freshmen year. I hope he can continue his success and make him some money.

Other noteworthy lowly ranked recruits over the year

Rashard-3 star
Lacatoure-3 star
Gordon-3 star
Dwayne Thomas-3 star
Corey Thompson-3 star
Trai Turner-3 Star
Jalen Collins-3 star
Ronald Martin-3 Star
Quentin Thomas( ) - 3 star
Travin Dural ( ) - 3 star
Micah Eugene (he was a good nickel/dime while here)-3 star
Odell Beckham Junior- 3 star (how the frick?)
Terrance MOTHA frickING Magee - 3 star.
Blue- 3 Star
Mathiue- 3 Star
DJ Welter - 3 star


I like our coaching staff to say the least.

(All per ESPN) "My finds" before y'all claim I'm trolling. From 2010-2013 as 14 hasn't played yet. But everything's a troll threads these days right.

You woke up with trolling on the mind? No guarantee the kid will even be on the roster come the season opening.

You are exaggerating on a lot of this. Mills was a consensus 3 star. Beckham was a consensus 4 star. It's as if you went with the lowest rankings for all those players instead of the actual perception.

Lacoture and Welter were also 4 stars, I believe.

If you are using ESPN's rankings for anything, you have already failed. They are terrible.

(All per ESPN)

If 1 place ranks them 3* and everyone else ranks them higher you go by everyone else

This thread just shows why no one takes ESPN seriously when it comes to recruiting rankings.

I could have sworn rashard robinson was at least a 4 star but maybe even a 5 star.

Stars are the most overrated, annoying bull crap in the recruiting process.

247 would be a good barometer for most of these players as they have their own rating system as well as a composite. Rashard Robinson, for example, was given four stars in 247s composite.

Edit: Personally, I hate the star ratings. So many players outplay their star ratings and position rankings. A 5-star for Wisconsin is very rare. We'll usually land a two, three, or four 4-stars in a single class, but most of the class is littered with 2- and 3-star products.

LSU shouldnt recruit 2 star players unless its a deep snapper or some shite. with that being said Mills wasn't a 2 star player.

Used to use rivals now I use rivals and 247. I am positive about the following:

Matheiu- 4 star
R Robinson- 4 star
Beckam- very high 4 star pushing 5 star
Dwayne Thomas- 4 star
Jalen Collins - 4 star

Think were 4 stars:
C Thompson
Turner
Dural
