So their recruits should get more praise, even if it's not merited, because they win? Okay then where does it stop?
I guess they should get calls their way (they do already in some people's opinion), the NCAA looking away from violations, and media love that is a larger advantage than anyone wants to admit?
Shouldn't be able to earn that.

They get more praise because they are evaluated by Saban, who is considered to be the best coach in college football. He just so happens to put a ton of players in the league as high round picks and just so happens to win more football games than anyone else. When you have a pedigree of winning, the services are going to pay attention. Moreover, LSU commits have received bumps in the past as well after committing. The precepts apply there too.

Anybody remember the Fab Five, the top RB's from Five States that all chose LSU? Johnson (AL) Johnson (TX), Butler (LA), Moore (MS), Toomer (GA). First play of the A&M game, Robert Johnson goes 75 yards and we're all thinking this is going to be awesome! Long story short, Robert J wound up at UAB, J Johnson wound up at Grambling, Moore wound up at Ole Myth, leaving Toomer and Butler, with only Toomer remaining a RB. Good, but not great careers. Point being, this is not an exact science. Some live up to the Stars, some don't, EVERY class. I'm ecstatic with the kids we've got coming in, but understand that some will disappoint and some will exceed expectations. I REALLY like the character of this group, so I think they'll make us proud no matter what.

that puts us at 441.10, putting us well above Alabama's current 314.76. Even if we greyshirt Gage to make room for those 7, that puts us at 425.81. Even if we just finish with those 3, that puts us at 376.55
I think 24/7 only counts your top 20 players when factoring the team rankings or something like that. SO when LSU goes over over 20 recruits the guys ranked 20 or lower start not counting. That said, we still could pass where Bama is right this second, it looks like to me. They just probably add a few more as well.

I just did it. With
Carter, Trey, Kelly, Jackson, Dupre and Valentine
We'd still be #2, but who'd care when we'd have six 5 stars in one class!

As long as we finish with the guys we need, ranking doesn't matter. Much like pre-season ranking means nothing. I am getting pretty excited about these guys.

I agree with your statement about the " character" of our class. Just as preseason No.1 ranking does not guarantee No1 at the end of the season, how teams perform during the season will determine championships.
Leadership traits, intelligence, "chests", plus how all the positions of need are filled, will be the final verdict on this class. In this class, we have these types of players. I like our chances for success.

Yes, is the short answer.
The recruiting services can't evaluate all these kids. They pretend too, but the manpower that goes into evaluating these kids comes mainly from the teams' staffs. If a team, that typically signs nothing but great prospects, offers a three star, the service will assume they have the kid underrated. So, yes, there is, and should be, a Bama bounce. And there is an LSU bounce; it's just not quite as big. But it's bigger than the Florida bounce.

LSU needs to add Adoree, Carter, Valentine, Dupre, Kelly, Young and Lealaimtafao with Bama losing Scarborough (which now seems unlikely) and adding no one else for them to be no. 1 overall.

I agree with this, but bama class has a little bigger boobs than the rest of the supermodels the last 4 years
But the recruiting services seem to give this advantage to Bama based on fake boobies- we want real talented boobs!

No.
Bama already printed the TShirts AGAIN. They earned 5 national recruiting number 1's but claim 8.

I am really beginning to feel good about it. I wasn't all 5 for 5 on 1/2 but I seriously believe Wednesday is going to fall our way.
Sorry about the run on quote. Sleepy. Too lazy to fix it.
