You can come down off the high horse. It shows that you need to be open to developmental players who can fill out a class and a roster. Many of them won’t pan out, but it’s worth it for the Jeffersons and Hesters that you do hit on who become big contributors. You also need a few guys who are willing to stay 3-4 years to provide depth and play special teams.
If you believe that the staff can evaluate guys who have a shot to become contributors, then trust them to do it.

2 and 3 stars signed by schools like LSU are less of “outliers” than those that go to SLU...we have better evaluators than recruiting services. Just saying

You guys who keep saying this are not considering that this staff has done a phenomenal job of talent evaluations since being hired here. We’ve benefited more from so called depth players then not. We aren’t just filling numbers, they’re still looking at talent and who can contribute.
Just because these players aren’t ranked highly doesn’t mean that they haven’t been looked at closely by our staff who do a great job of recruiting talent that will develop into great players at LSU. It’s a little short sited when people come on here and say “I’m not impressed” and don’t know the first thing about them nor have they seen them in person to make any sort of legitimate assessment.
The staff has more than likely met them, seen them up close, talked to them, talked to other coaches (including opposing coaches), met the family and see something that will translate to the college level. Our coaches have been doing this for decades and have proven that they know what talent is and how it will translate. It’s time that we give them the benefit of the doubt. Stop looking at stars and start looking deeper.
