With a coach that knows how to use it.

Compare that to say, Clemson. They rank 44th.

That should be a ritual slaughter come September.

Free Dodge Chargers don't go as far as they used to.

LSU -10.5 would be my early guess

2 teams above are involved in the coach that raped Iowa and OSU had mass exodus

If Ole Miss wasnt still playing we could possibly be at 1

It's not that Clemson doesn't know how to use it. They just choose not to.

Depends on the QB? If we get Williams, absolutely as I believe LSU is a playoff contender in year one with him at QB.

If it’s someone else like the Elon QB, we will see.

We shot up the boards last year with Kelly as well.

Teams that want and need players like LSU has wanted and needed players the last 2 years will shoot up the boards if they try.

Clemson just doesnt even try

Everyone keep in mind portal rankings are only counting incoming transfers.

It’s not a net portal rating that accounts for out going.

Just saying!

We will end up top 3 in the portal when all is said and done.

At this point we have not signed any players in the positions we need to even play a game. The rankings don’t address position needs. If holes in the roster were part of the analysis the rankings would be flipped.

Yes with an extremely incompetent coaching staff.


This year we actually have a real coaching staff that can actually coach and develop players. Excited to see what Lane and this staff can do with this talent.

On3’s rankings are based on gains and losses. Net.

We are 23rd on On3. But our 13 additions so far average a higher player score than our 30 losses.

I don't think the Lane era is gonna be anything like the BK era but lets ground ourselves and realize these rankings are worthless.

We were the #1 transfer portal class last year.

Can you post that link? Does it take into account all the players that we lost?

For someone who runs from thread to thread acting like a baby back bitch, you are surely ignorant.
