re: To those excited about LSU's #3 recruiting ranking

I personally do not like the way they rank recruiting classes. I think it should be based on the average talent rating of the class, coupled with the needs of the team, perhaps (which, yes, is something you can quantify. Could be a very subjective metric, but so is the player rating).

I would rather have 20 4-stars than 10 5-stars. Number of players in the class has to factor in. I get what you are saying, being that its June and all classes will fill out. Still a bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush, right? There is no way to perfectly measure out the class rankings. Just know that they are meaningless until December.


Also, as others have mentioned I think the weighting of punters, kickers and long snappers should be adjusted. Maybe they should just have an entire category of their own, seperate from the rest of the class. You get a specialist class ranking and a regular class ranking.

Need shouldn't have any weighting in class ranking. That's silly.
