Gotta love how we finished...

Think back a month ago, to right around New Years.
We just lost to Notre Dame in the bowl game. We only had like 15 commits and were outside the top 15 in nation (16 or 18 iirc). Chavis leaves and goes to TAMU and a few highly regarded recruits cancel their visits with us and take us off their list of their top schools. The sky is falling and everyone is all doom and gloom.
Since then we've hired Ed O and Steele. And finished stronger than most of us imagined. In the last month, we've landed: Tyron Johnson, Donte Jackson, Chidi, Arden Key, Toby Weathersby, Lanard Fournette, Josh Growden (Aussie punter), and flipped Derrick Dillon and Brandon Martin. And we didn't lose anyone that we had committed. We didn't just fill out a class... We landed some big time players this past month, with 3 major out of state guys.
In about a month we went from "the sky is falling" to having a top 5 class according to 247sports, #8 on Rivals. And our staff has been together for what? A few weeks at the most... And had this huge turn around. We have a LOT of momentum right now that's gonna roll over to next years class. Imagine what our staff can do when they have a full year to develop relationships and recruit. Not to mention the 2016 class is the state is LOADED.
We finished as strong as anyone this past month and gotta love the direction we are trending right now.

Most likely... But crazy things happen on signing day.

Or not...
Regardless, GREAT finish by the staff and love the momentum we have in recruting for the future.

Yes, I am very happy with this class. I think LSU is done today, but who knows. Very solid finish!

I completely agree, except that we did actually fill out a 25 man class.

When I said "we didn't just fill out a class" I meant we didn't just take players to reach out #... We landed some studs to fill out the class.
