VERY respectable! I just glanced at it but I'm more interested from a biz perspective in the right column. Looks like LSU has a pretty good profit margin. Auburn looks to have a fairly high profit margin as well. Nice to see that LSU football can pay for the other sports that don't generate any ...

1. Football Then everything else....

In a discussion like this you have to bring in enough players that Faulk likely wouldn't even make your top ten. Here are some names to consider as well: Y.A. Tittle Pete Maravich Jim Taylor A.J. Duhe Shaq Josh Reed Rohan Davey Hokie Gajan Charlie Alexander Dalton Hilliard Glenn Dorsey...

[quote][b]not "very well written"[/b][/quote] :::buzzhorn sound::: This is extraordinarily well written and a riveting piece! It is the best read I've seen in quite some time. It is an in depth look at LSU's new recruiting class. It also gives some great insight on how much of a scumbag Lane K...

Would a player like say AJ Duhe be considered as a possible LSU transcendent athlete? What about say...Dalton Hilliard? Would you throw Charlie Alexander in there? How about some that people might consider a stretch such as Carlos Carson, David Woodley, etc?...

[quote][b]Ranking of signing classes has limited predictive usefulness.[/b][/quote] Absolutely! But keeping with why we've been successful, I just don't think this is solely due to our success on the field. It helps, but it isn't the only reason and certainly may not be the main reason....
