Do you think we will finish with a top-10 class?

I am started to get worried. Thank God for the transfer portal.
2024 needs to be a top 3 class

Nope. We don't really have room to grow and the teams behind us do.

Yes

LSU is 7th right now in the SEC

6-10 is pretty close so depends on who they close out with but steeples & cooks are getting bullied on the trail, Kelly has to make a move in the off-season

Lol you could post this a day after the cycle ends with us ranked 11th and this board would still call you a dumbass and a pussy for thinking there's any chance we don't finish top 10.

For context, for 2024 LSU is currently:
- #12 on 247
- #11 on On3
- #12 on Rivals
If we land the A&M trio (Miller, Bussey, Reliford) and hang on to Bates we should finish top 8.
If we land just Miller and hang on to Bates, and add a few lower ranked players, we should hopefully finish in the top 10.
If we lose Bates and miss out on the A&M trio, we won't finish in the top 12.

Do you think there is a substantial difference between 6-12?
I don't, and I'm a firm believer in the recruiting rankings in general and I've been following it for 35 years. They just are not made to dial it in to that level of accuracy.
The top 1-3 classes generally stand out, but beyond that there are groups like 4-10 or maybe 6-12 that are not drastically different. Filling needs, development, attrition, etc., become important after that.

With the last 48 hrs going how it went and we have till Jan? Yes
Posted on 10/18/23 at 1:55 pm to LSUTitan99
It will not be top 10
Posted on 10/18/23 at 5:48 pm to LSUTitan99
no... top 15, sure... but you can go ahead and wrap your brain around not being top 10 this year
Posted on 10/19/23 at 7:06 am to LSUTitan99
Thanks for the melt! I love a good one!
Posted on 10/19/23 at 7:38 am to LSUTitan99
Top 10 yes, top 5 probably not

I think we finish like 7th or 8th, and most importantly we meet our needs.
We need DTs, whether they are high schoolers, from Juco, or the portal, we need impact players on the defensive line, and a permanent coach. I hope it's Lindsay, but right now other schools have too much negative recruiting fodder.
I'm proud of the way LSU has stood beside Lindsay, and I hope he makes a full recovery and is able to be our coach for years to come.
I also hope he is honest with himself and doesn't put his health at hazard because he wants to do what he loves.
Its selfish, but I really want that situation resolved, but I also recognize that only time can heal this situation.

Relying on the transfer portal just isn't the answer if you want to be a consistent contender. We clearly see this by looking at our defense this year. Brian Kelly has said as much, but we'll be scouring the portal again this offseason because we're desperate for defensive players. If we're not lucky there, the defense could be even worse next year.
We're not having the same issues with offensive recruiting, so there just have to be significant changes to the defensive staff. If you're another school recruiting defensive players against LSU, it's just too easy right now.
Maybe LSU sneaks into the top 10, but that's not going to solve the problems on defense. The focus has to on revamping the defensive staff with some elite recruiters. I think Brian Kelly may have overestimated how easy it would be to recruit Louisiana kids.

We'll be lucky to get a top 20 class.
Posted on 10/21/23 at 2:02 pm to LSUTitan99
Dude we have significant chance to finish top 3. We will be fine
Posted on 10/23/23 at 5:34 am to LSUTitan99
I miss the top 5 recruiting days. And when we would pull in stud secondary players. Frank has the RBs on the right path. And the WRs look good too. But that secondary is sketchy! DBU is in need of a couple studs!
