And won one bcs title in a weak arse conference.

You're right, it was a weak conference, but the U of Serial Cheaters has no BCS titles. None. In fact, no Even More Pacific 12 team (formerly the Very Pacific 10) has a BCS crystal football in their trophy case.

It's true many of the Ketchup and Mustard classes have enjoyed hype, but either that was all it was, or bad coaching, or they felt obliged to live up to their namesakes: the Trojans are the most famous losers in history/mythology. In any case, they underperformed and still underperform. Wonder if Kiffin will vote his team #1 again this pre-season -- then lie about it -- and finish out of the Top 25, again.

Well, obviously the class is not signed yet nor have they played a game. But....the USC class that is being talked about was 2006/2007.

2007 was the Joe McKnight class. It was #2 behind Florida but had 6 5* compared to Florida's 4. But when you look at that class, only Joe McKnight and Everson Griffin did anything. Out of 18 commits, 2 did anything. The 2006 class had 5 5* and was really deep. But in that class, it was heavy RB, WR with a couple good ATH/DB.

Now, even though I said this class has not even graduated yet let alone played in a game, those classes were above average at best. As compared to this class just in terms of "potential and status", this one would be #1. As good as the "potential" was in that USC class, This class would have so many guys that are tops at the position. Also, if you were to look at player by player in each position, LSU's potential class would blow them away.

Just to show a small comparison since I have nothing to do...Lol

-Their #1 recruit was #7 overall- Vidal Hazelton. He was aweful and ended up trying to play at Cincy. LSU's would be Leonard Fournette. Does this really need an explanation? or maybe I should have compared him to CJ Gable or Stephon Johnson, the top RB for them. Still, no comparison as a High Schooler nor college potential
-Their #2 was Allen Bradford who ended up being a pretty decent RB but was a LB as a recruit. Or maybe I should compare the OL they signed, but since he was the #10 OL, it may not be an apples to apples comparison. Cause the #2 for LSU could be Cam Robinson! Do I really have to......
- Their QB was #7 and never played and was not nationally ranked. LSU's is to some, the top DT QB and is in the Top 200.
- LSU could have the top MLB whereas that class they had the #5 LB...who never played.
-As for WR's... as stated they had one who was the #7 overall recruit, but was bad. They had a track guy in Holland, then they had the #5 WR-Ausberry and the #39 WR. LSU could have the #1 WR in Dupre, Noil who could be top 10, Upchurch who is under rated, Blacknall @ #15, and Quinn @ #14 (who not only should be higher)...but will probably end up as the most likely be the most prolific HS WR ever. Crazy!
- At DB, they had 5* Taylor Mays and Wright who was the #38 national recruit. Also one other 4* DB who never saw the field. LSU could have the #1 and #4 Safety in Hootie and Paris(who could also be a top 5 corner). And also a top, if not #1, corner in Brown.

Sorry for the long post but as I said I am bored at the office and love recruiting!
