Yes. 2003. I remember being a kid and using allowance money to buy the recruiting class DVD. I remember Shawn Jordan’s highlight video being unreal.


Hell yea I got the Same DVD. Jordan looked like Mike Alscott. Amp Hill might have been better than Buster or Bowe if he didn’t get that injury freshman camp. Tim Washington was an animal as well.
All of 2001, 2003,2004, and 2009 were all rated #1 by at least one of the big 3 services at the time. Back in 2001 it was just Rivals, Lemming, and Super Prep. I would probably say 2001 was the best because you had 4 of the nations top 20 players. All of them lived up the hype. Then on top of them you have a hall of fame LT in it. Plus Travis Daniels, Addai, Niswanger, and Bennie Jets in it.

You just repeated exactly what I said. I said we always recruit and land enough of all star rated players. We also cherry pick our 5*/4*/3* players. Its players we’ve watched, we’ve talked to, we’ve seen up close, we’ve seen grow and just have a better idea of who they will be.

I completely understand that we need all of these guys we get. But I also understand that our cherry picked players, no matter what star they were, have just as good of a chance to be a star at LSU. We not going after the same players that Vandy/Marshall/Miss Valley etc.
