re: Signing too many 3 star recruits?....

Rating is not a definite science and it is too early in the process. It is impossible to gauge the growth and development a kid will go through in a year. Look at jalean philips he was barely a 3 star his junior year and by the end of his senior year he was the number one composite 5 star recruit in the country.
When coaches evaluate prospects they look a several different factors. LSU gets to take close to 30 recruits this class and if anyone thinks that all of them can be 4 and 5 stars they are extremely unrealistic.

I actually believe our current 3*s Moore, Washington, Baskerville, and Clark are some of LSUs best current recruits. GTFO with this nonsense, watch these guys play and know who they will be playing for.

The fact of the matter is that this coaching staff can do more with a projected 3* then the last staff could with a no doubt 5*. Y'all have to remember that we want to sign a full class this year so getting early looking stars committed isn't a bad thing. Then if they don't work hard to get better you let them know it isn't working out, or this guy over here is out working you. There have been 3* after 3* guy for OM, MS, or Ark that turn out better than our 4 and 5* guys so it's not all about stars, it's about getting to know the guy and doing your homework. This staff isn't just offering anyone with great tape lmfao

No team has ever won a title with a team built on 3 star talent. Yes 3 star players have turned into great players but there is a reason Alabama is on an unheard of run.

Ohio state and Alabama are recruiting at a different level than us

You're not smart

In today's recruiting world, most 4 and 5-star recruits are not gonna sign early so they can play the game.

Yeah you seem like you know your stuff... We'll see in a few years what these so called 3*s do under Aranda and what those bad arse 4*s do under Steel and Chavis.

Of course LSU will land other big names and prospects but I'm willing to bet those 4 names I just mentioned will be some of our key contributors in a few years.

It's a fact that Aranda and Canada did much more with much less at their previous stints.

Did they have that HB, QB, LT, DE, DT to take them over the top? No but Les Miles was known at LSU for having just as much talent across the board as anyone in the country as seen by the NFL draft but didn't win squat with that talent as of late.

So one end of my comment is already proven the other will be proven once the season is kicked off. This team will play at a much higher level and it won't have a damn thing to do with the talent being that much better now will it? Let me tell you Rick, I don't hear gospel coming from your mouth all I hear from you is the same crying "why would LSU hire coach O" you're a whiny little girl.

Oh I see you're a bama fan... Well good luck with that.
