For those focused on star rankings

There is a very strong correlation to signing top 100 talent and winning Nattys. It matters to a degree.

Throwing around the same three star outliers every year isn’t making the strong case you think it is.

In the Tygee Hill transfer thread (the 3-star D-lineman) I saw multiple people say he’s just not a SEC quality player

For every 1 Justin Jefferson there’s 10 Tygee Hill’s. I’m not a star gazer but let’s not act like all these 2 and 3 stars will pan out just because LSU is taking them

Just remember players like Justin Jefferson and Tyran Mathieu, who were both rated as 3 stars or less. It happens every year. I trust our staff's evaluation of these players

You forgot Jacob Hester.

So that's what, 3 in 20 years? Screw it, let's jsut sign 3 stars now.

Or maybe just understand that a top 5 class is special and a good thing to shoot for. At the same time understand that 1-5 are about the same. And then 5-15 or even 20 are probably about the same as well. And even then the compilation of the last 2-3 classes tells you more than any individual class does. Specifically, what places you are filling with elite talent or coachable near-elite talent to properly fill a roster?

Recruiting and roster management can mean a class that looks less productive may be a better haul toward getting your team over the hump.

What team consistently competes for a national championship that is made up of 3 star players and is ranked out of the Top 10 in the Team Recruiting rankings?

God this is such a tired, fricking stupid argument.

Take those purple and gold glasses off. This is a weak class for LSU standers

Not like that anymore
