re: Do we seriously believe LSU will sign a top 5 class in 2019?

It's really going to depend on the product that the kids see on the field. Generally speaking, kids want to play for the home state school, particularly one that has had the success of LSU.

BUT, they're also going to make whatever business decision they feel is best. If they're really NFL caliber players, they'll likely get there regardless. But if they're looking to win championships along the way...LSU has to show that they can do that. And you only have one year to prove it to THIS class.
