using espn to validate recruiting assessment is dumb.

Maybe, but it's the service used on signing day. Shea Dixon of 247 also had a projection just yesterday pointing out most of the names above, plus AJ Carter, and said ratings bumps were coming when 247 updated their rankings.

Those bumps plus adding the number 6 and number 9 overall, and also five stars, should like a lot more like what we are used to as lsu fans...

Exactly... And then after their senior seasons, some of these guys will undoubtably rise even higher. Some may fall but that's the way it goes. I think it's pretty ignorant to judge our coaches who have been doing this for years even if these guys don't get the bumps you just have to trust our coaches. Add Surtain, Marshal, and then possibly another 2 5* guys during our season and you have a top 5 class when it's all said. Add 2019 is already looking like a top 5 and you have 3 consecutive championship type classes filled with much needed depth, quality depth. Our fans can be so darn ignorant. HTTDB

At the moment I dislike Rivals more than ESPN. ESPN also has the most accurate ht/wt measurements and is the only service that includes testing numbers on recruit profiles.

ESPN for years has been the laughing stock of the recruiting site world.

They are far from experts ... its like saying you are getting your recruiting news from MSNBC.

Things have definitely changed with the other recruiting services. You have Rivals with Mike "Fournette doesn't have breakaway speed" Farrell, and Scout which is basically giving away subs to increase their members list. They are about to merge with 247 so we'll see how that goes.
