Class of 2017

Very underrated class by all recruiting services.

Unreal class

Pretty much coach O's first class that he held intact after miles got fired with only 1 decommit that I can recall. Only 5 kids ended up leaving but 4 if justin thomas comes back.

300 better receivers than Jefferson lol.

Need to bump this thread every year around ESD to remind new comers that the coaches don't always recruit according to star ratings.

and the last one in, and lowest rated made the most of his LSU career above all.

Todd Harris is going to ball out next year. Shame he got hurt so early in the season and missed out on this magic, he'll come out with something to prove next season.

I say at least 13 drafted, perhaps more will be...

That class is the backbone of this team.

I typically don't bash recruiting ranking services because they have an agenda, a job to do, to generate attention and revenue.

But the 2017 class is one reason that I trust knowledgeable coaching staffs much more than recruiting services.

Orgeron knows the kind of players that mentally and physically fit best at LSU. He sees more than the stars. When classes full of three and four-stars with a spattering of 5* guys gives us a team like we have right now, it proves the inconsistency of recruiting rank services.
