Key notes for out of state recruits and LSU:

- Could land the top 2 players from the state of Mississippi.
- Could land 3 of the top 4 safeties in the country.
- Could land 3 top 100 overall players at RB.
- Could land both #1 DE’s in the nation, and #1 DT.
- Could land the best secondary class I’ve ever seen.

Key notes for in state recruits and LSU:

- Louisiana finally produces premier OT again
- Louisiana finally produces premier QB again.
- 2 top 100 overall players at RB.
- 5 top 100 players overall, all offense.
- Hill, West, Tapp, all on defensive line.

Assuming LSU keeps its current commits right now in the top 100 overall player rankings, lands all top 100 overall players from in state that would already be 8 top 100 overall players. I think we could be looking at LSU having between 10-15 top 100 overall players this class.

Pipe Dreams:

- Quin Ewers, #2 overall, #1 PRO
- Tyre West, #7 overall, #2 DT

I just used the initial 247 released rankings for the 2022 class so far, they don’t even have a composite yet for the class. Obviously this class is so far away, and there are so many things that could happen and interchangeable parts involved here, but in my opinion I think LSU will sign it’s best class ever in 2022, and possibly challenge for the highest ranked recruiting class of all time. It’s unreal the level we are about to start recruiting at, especially nationally. You mix that in with a good in state year like 2022 and we could see a ridiculous class. Everyone else feel free to add any info.
