Look at the ranking disparity between sites. Recruiting services that LSU makes money rank LSU recruits higher and vice versa. the same for bama.
Tiger bait fell off a while back and our players have been ranked lower there ever since. The emergence of Shea Dixon and the LSU 247 staff have increased membership and rankings for LSU prospects on that service.

Bama still has a high volume of rivals subscriptions, and probably higher across all services.

If you take any of the 10+ player rankings from the 16 class's Jr and SR year besides the one 2 weeks from signing day we end up #1 or close to it. It was the re-ranking 2 weeks before signing day when everyone pretty much had an idea of where people were ending up that dropped us 13 points. that last re-ranking our players started dropping left and right to make room for an OSU/Bama rise, 2 of their biggest customers. These are businesses not unbiased public services. How is letting the competition cater to your biggest client while you don't a smart move?

4 of the 5 biggest drops in the top 100 were LSU prospects. The same LSU that held number 1 for some time, and the same players they all agreed had been ranked properly for the previous 9 updates (2 years). Yeah they all magically got worse between the end of their senior season and signing day

Can't really complain though it is what it is. If more LSU faithful opened up their wallet for memberships we'd get what we pay for. Nothing wrong with pointing it out though. I'll regard our players as highly as the entire country did from Jr. year summer circuit to 2 weeks prior to signing day
