Is 2024 Louisiana Football Class Weakest?

It is FAR too early to make a real judgement about that.

Almost assuredly there are another 10-12 kids who will emerge over the next 8-10 months as 4-star type recruits.

But we're going to recruit heavily out of state as we should, because LSU is going to be a very hot national brand with a big-time profile and a fantastic season to sell.

Not to mention a heavily marketable class of already-committed 2024 recruits who are helping to recruit their classmates. I'm talking about Hurley and Galloway among others.

It's cyclical.

Last year Louisiana had a damn strong class.

17 players 4* are above. Just 10 went OOS.

I'm gonna get downvoted by the Kelly fanboys but I'm not saying he did a bad job, just looking DT numbers

Jerqwinick Sandolph

Hell yeah. I forgot about him.

quote:

---

The ones we lost were either never coming to LSU or they were already soured bc of Orgeron.

---

You can blame O for a lot but recruiting Louisiana is not something he can be faulted for

I forgot we had 3 players from Breaux Bridge in that class.

I meant as far as the number of 4 and 5* players in-state

quote:

---

any class with the almost undisputed best defensive player in LSU history is better than the 2012 class

---

Mathieu was not the undisputed best defensive player in LSU history.

Mathieu
Casanova
Peterson
Dorsey
Brooks
Marshall

All are guys for whom a strong argument could be made. If I got one pick it would be Patrick Peterson.

Burrow statistically had the best season an undefeated ,national championship qb has ever had so it’s a little different argument. Getting kicked off the team n the no national title hurts his argument. But was the most impactful defensive player I’ve ever seen in college in a single year.
