Sorry but the resurgence started in the Florida game at home in 97'. After that win is when in state recruiting took back off and instate guys became interested in LSU again


The next 2 seasons, LSU had a losing record. The resurgance in in-state recruiting was kicked off by Dinardo, but it was before, not after, that Florida game.

1999 was the year of recruits that were influenced by the 97' Florida game. The 98' recruiting year was almost done when this game took place. Here is a list:

quote:

1999 – Much like Hallman’s Class of 1992, DiNardo’s 1999 collection of recruits had big things ahead of them. Unfortunately for DiNardo, he wasn’t around to see Bradie James, John Corbello, Domanick Davis, LaBrandon Toefield, Demetrius Hookfin, Norman LeJeune, Jerel Myers, Rodney Reed and Donnie Jones spark the greatest period in LSU football history.


This is the recruiting class that sparked the early success for Saben.

One of the best recruiting classes we have ever had.
