Two major pieces of Lane Kiffin's first high school signing class at LSU were five-star recruits Richard Anderson and Lamar Brown, who both signed early in December.

Kiffin spoke with reporters on Wednesday and explained that the 'power of LSU' was why he was able to land those players despite the coaching shake-up in Baton Rouge.
quote:

"I get some credit for that, but LSU signed them," Kiffin said.

"We didn't have a DL coach solidified at the time. They still signed with LSU. That's not because of Lane Kiffin or Frank Wilson. That's the power of this place, that they would decide to sign, instead of waiting, because they both knew it was LSU."

"It's a big reason why we are here. When you have a place that can do things like that, especially for Louisiana kids, and nationally... It's a place you want to align with. To have that brand with you, it makes a big difference with them."

Kiffin is definitely saying all the right things. I can’t wait for 2026 football season.

I think it’s more likely that these two kids grew up as LSU fans after all they are both from Louisiana

This why I always said when coaches change and people say stupid shite like “those were sabans recruits “. No they are LSU recruits.

Exactly, well known recruiters like O and Wilson could recruit to LSU. Players didn't fo;;ow them to UTSA or Ole Miss.

Am I tripping? Or was Edge Trenton Henderson a 5 star? I can remember his recruitment and Henderson was a 5 star. Why is it, when LSU is battling for a high star prospect and when we get them they lose ratings points?

Lane understands he’s been given the keys to the Ferrari. Doing well so far, don’t wreck it.
