Fair and Good Article on Recruiting

we need to make a little step to be elite.

A little step?
Other schools cleaned up compared to LSU.
Alabama will dominate. Anything less than NCs is a complete fail by them based on their classes.

BK's reasoning for coming to LSU was recruiting advantage well this year's class is basically in a tie with Notre Dame's class and previous classes are also close. My question is was the problem really recruiting at Notre Dame?

We may end up at #5 once the dust settles. We may win the West again next year. I think we can do both...

IMO this article was written as much to praise AL and GA as to critique LSU. About the only thing the guy said that was factual is that you don’t need an elite class to win a NC. LSU won a NC without having what the recruiting guru claimed was an elite class yet that team is one of the most acclaimed group of NFL draftees ever. Wonder what happened along the way? Maybe CK knows what an elite class is better than the recruiting gurus.

Clemson’s first NC team had an average ranking of 13. Clemson has never had what this guy claims is an elite class, yet they played in 3 recent NCG winning at least one.

What is important is gettin a top ten class, keeping and developing them and out coaching the other coaches in a game. The latter is AL and GA’s Achilles Heel.

We can’t look at recruiting the same as before. If he fills out 35-39 total players with several 4*dline and olinemen, LSU will be better for it.
