Big props to Mills for making it where he has. I never knew that he not only was "just a 2 star" but we were also his best offer. He'll currently be entering his third year as a versatile DB who can play safety and cornerback. I've enjoyed his play since his freshmen year. I hope he can continue his success and make him some money.

Other noteworthy lowly ranked recruits over the year

Rashard-3 star
Lacatoure-3 star
Gordon-3 star
Dwayne Thomas-3 star
Corey Thompson-3 star
Trai Turner-3 Star
Jalen Collins-3 star
Ronald Martin-3 Star
Quentin Thomas( ) - 3 star
Travin Dural ( ) - 3 star
Micah Eugene (he was a good nickel/dime while here)-3 star
Odell Beckham Junior- 3 star (how the frick?)
Terrance MOTHA frickING Magee - 3 star.
Blue- 3 Star
Mathiue- 3 Star
DJ Welter - 3 star


I like our coaching staff to say the least.

(All per ESPN) "My finds" before y'all claim I'm trolling. From 2010-2013 as 14 hasn't played yet. But everything's a troll threads these days right.

You woke up with trolling on the mind? No guarantee the kid will even be on the roster come the season opening.

You are exaggerating on a lot of this. Mills was a consensus 3 star. Beckham was a consensus 4 star. It's as if you went with the lowest rankings for all those players instead of the actual perception.

Beckham was a 4 star everywhere and one of the top players in Louisiana. He played as a true freshman.

Rashard Robinson was a 4 star as well and was hyped by Patrick Peterson as being the real deal. We couldn't wait for him to get on campus and he started playing right away.

Lacoture and Welter were also 4 stars, I believe.

If you are using ESPN's rankings for anything, you have already failed. They are terrible.

I don't see how I'm trolling... Mills has been literally my favorite player to watch since on campus.


I was just late night browsing and noticed ESPN had most of these kids as three stars. I just thought it was an incredible job by the coaching staff in hauling them in and getting them to where they are.

(All per ESPN)

If 1 place ranks them 3* and everyone else ranks them higher you go by everyone else

This thread just shows why no one takes ESPN seriously when it comes to recruiting rankings.

I see that. It also shows how clueless people are to think I'd be trolling about this or something when I have two of the people listed in my AVI and clearly listed as ex teammates in my Bio. That's what I wanted to do at 5am. Troll my ex team mates. Y'all got me.

well, in fairness, one person accused you of trolling, not everyone. Clearly ESPN isn't the recruiting service of choice. They went against most of the nationally respected recruiting services rankings.

I am not saying that you are trolling. I am just saying that ESPN is terrible.

I could have sworn rashard robinson was at least a 4 star but maybe even a 5 star.

Which was more so the point of my thread, that a lot of these kids weren't "highly touted world beaters" but still have made a fairly large impact in these recent years.

This place is full of clueless dipshits that want to do nothing but bash on LSU.

I get it that a lot of the rankings you gave were a little off from their consensus rating coming out of high school, but the fact does remain the Les and staff have definitely gotten some underrated players coming out of high school and turned them into fantastic college players that got drafted.

Rashard was a composite 4 star.

If your list really is based off espn then you don't follow recruiting.
