1. Honey Badger was a 4 when he signed.

2. Mccallum. Kid hits like a Mack truck.

Tyson Jackson. A little unfair because he signed when rivals was being stingy with the star ratings. He would be a 4 star today.

I’ll throw Mo Claiborne into this conversation.

Tyrann was a 4*.
Mo Claiborne was the best 3* I can remeber.
Hester was a 2* and became and LSU legend.

Here are a few 24/7 composite 3 * guys from the past.

Jacob Hester
Brandon LaFell
Trindon Holliday
Kelvin Sheppard
Steven Ridley
Delvin Breaux (His NFL performance since no LSU playing time)
Morris Claiborne
Bennie Logan
Alfred Blue
Terrence Magee
Deion Jones
Jalen Mills
DJ CHark

I don't know who to pick. I think I would likely go with Morris Claiborne or Jacob Hester. Logically I want to say Claiborne is better overall but Hester is clearly the emotional favorite and I don't think it's a stretch to say a case could be made for Hester over Claiborne.

Morris Claiborne by a mile. Would be a 2 time All American if Patrick Peterson wasn't on the opposite side of him his sophomore year. Was the Thorpe Award winner and consensus All American as a junior.

I don’t think Mo Claiborne played much corner in HS. He played some, but his team wasn’t very good and needed him on offense.

He was primarily a QB, but also played WR and some RB. He was the only weapon they had and lined him up all over the field.

He was rated as an Athlete, not CB. Sometimes recruiting services evaluate and project those type of players correctly, and sometimes they don’t. Mo didn’t attend a lot of camps, so not many people saw him up close.

The important thing is that LSU coaches properly evaluated him and worked him out at camp. I remember a lot of people were upset when he committed. There were big fish on the board and the class was filling up. They were mad the coaches were wasting one of the last spots on a 3*.

Kendall McCallam for this season. Heard on Tiger Roar show a lot of Alabama fans very upset LSU got him instead of Saban. Said he was a beast in practice and in the Alabama versus Mississippi All Star football game. History-wise, I'd go with Tyson Jackson.

If you’re looking for the most underrated recruit (regardless of *-rating), then it very well may be Cole Tracy.
