I got them from 247.
While I agree recruiting rankings don't necessarily equate to exact football rankings on the field, there is no denying that recruiting rankings make a difference. Alabama and FSU have been dominant lately and they also happened to put together multiple top 5 classes in a row.
And yes the 09 class produced elite talent. It was also the #1 class in the country.
And lastly I didn't say they would be the best group of players. I said we are recruiting the best we have in the Miles Era and on paper, we are. And history has shown that typically teams that recruit in the top five are also elite teams on the field.

When you say we are recruiting the best that we've ever recruited, you are implying that the group of players we're bringing in is the best. Is that not the point of recruiting? The factor that determines how well you are recruiting is whether or not you get results from each player, not what his star-rating was on paper. That is why I reserve judgment until after a class has played 3 years at LSU instead of buying into all the recruiting hype before the class even sees the field.
