I've heard LSU had the #1 class.

Then:

There's a Bama bump which allows sites owned by Bama alums to fit their subscription requests.

And now, tOSU now has the #1 class.

Is it ESPN because that's who MOST people have heard of? Or who has the final say so in the number one recruiting class.

shite for all we know, Bama is just claiming this shite.

1. ESPN is non biased. We have and will retain the best class here

2. 247 is owned and operated by a Bama fan. They put out rankings to appease their followers.

The overall success of the recruiting class on the field has the final say...

Here is all you need to know. LSU is bringing in an absolutely LOADED class of players. This class isn't good. It's utterly fantastic. The Tigers got a ton of talent at need positions.

Your best bet is to take a look at the 247sports Composite team rankings. It averages all 4 recruiting services to determine a consensus winner.

As far as this year, I vote ESPN, despite the way everyone slags them. They have largely not destroyed people's ratings after they've chosen a school this year. In prior years I've found them to be more guilty of knocking people out of the top 10 or out of being #1 at their position as soon as they chose a school.

Take it from someone who has followed recruiting for a very long time. Class rankings are good indicators of how good or bad a class is. But having the "#1 class" doesn't mean much. Usually the difference between each class in the top 5 is negligible. It's really about filling needs, getting a few guys who can be studs and a few program guys in each class.
Some five stars will be busts, there will be one or two guys that don't qualify and four or five that transfer that never played. It happens to every single class. Then there will be a 3 star like Tyson Jackson who turns into a top 5 pick.

This is a very good class with a ton of defensive talent that is very much needed. Take it as such regardless of "rank".
