Indeed Bama's recruiting is other-worldly now. But our five game losing streak was accomplished by players at both schools who are roughly equal in talent as measured by matriculation to, and performance in, the NFL. The real difference is talent concentration in position groups at LSU, while Bama has the talent, and experience, at all position groups. And any look back over a short period will be skewed by us suddenly halting the early defections. That creates a seam in the continuum that distorts the statistics.

I also think - and this will take a couple of years to ascertain - that the last two years, 2015 and 2016, LSU caught up in recruiting. I think LSU's 2015 class might be the best LSU class of all time. It was only rated 6th, but look at it in hindsight!

Plus we are now recruiting evenly across position groups. I want to see them add some linebackers, but 2017 is looking very well rounded, as was 2016.
