This is an Elite class...period. I wouldn't trade with anyone.

ESPN bases there rankings on their "ESPN 150". They focus on states which draw high ratings for TV and large numbers of subscriptions. Therfore, their ranking system is flawed and does not reflect the huge amount of talent LSU has accumulated outside of the ESPNU 150.

Micah Eugene is a perfect example. This guy can play, but you wouldn't know it if you just watched ESPN.

Going into today, sure.

If you would have asked before last year if we would have barely been in the top 10, people would have probably laughed at you.

We got a ton of talent and filled needs (which is what I care about most), but it isn't the top 2 class that people thought we'd have.



Are you really putting that much weight into ESPN's ranking? I don't think they are blatantly anti-LSU or anything, but they are blatantly uninformed in most instances.

This, mon ami, is hitting the nail on the head. LSU should be proud of this damn strong recruiting class.

This class didn't turn out as good as most hoped, but it's still a very good class.

is there that big of a difference between a 5 ranked and 12 ranked or anything of that nature?
