re: Just look at how well that 3 star de did in spring game--Justin Thomas

Yep I think he just countered his argument without even knowing it lol. This thing is not over far from it. If we landed 2 high 90s guys like Surtain and Marshall our average would jump to around 91 in June lmao.

This staff will NOT magically stop evaluating talent and if some guys fail to develop you will likely see a tweet that's says something like this, "after many discussions with my parents and prayers I have decided that reopening my recruitment is best for me and my family". Have a long ways to go yet peeps.

BTW, we have 2 5Stars and 2 4Stars already committed for 2019. We are the only team with 2 5Star commits at this point.

I already know, I'm not one bit concerned. Recruiting is so fluid, some will rise, some will fall, some won't even be here, and we'll add new names. I mean even if we had a full class now, I would bet 5 or more wouldn't be here by the end of it and we would have 5 or more new names at the end.

Out of the class we have now there will probably be 3 that don't make it for what ever reasons. LSU will garner more attention during the season as it plays out then so will recruits that have yet to play their senior seasons or camp then you have visits so there's a ways to go.

The only thing people should be concerned with is how hard this staff is working on the recruiting trail. It's a damn fine job. They are apparently busy which is what you want. HTT

That kid was vastly under rated.

Exactly. So take that shite to the coaching changes board.

What people don't realize is that recruiting rankings depend on two things besides actual talent.

1. How many offers you have. The more offers you have the more interest you bring to their site. On top of that they can rank you high and say look at all the schools that want him they can't all be wrong. See Priest Willis, Max Browne, Asante Wullard, Chris Davenport.

2. How early you commit.
It's hard to sell subscriptions to multiple sites with a kid who has been committed for over a year. Guice decommited from LSU at a point because his ranking was dropping. Then he played like he was interested in Bama and his ranking went back up.

The recruiting services want guys that have a bunch of offers and can't decide on a school to be ranked higher, they come with more stories; which means more subscriptions.

Once upon a time everyone cried because we only have 12 commits at this time. Once upon a time everyone cried about kids still taking trips to other schools or putting %'s on how committed they are. Now you all are crying because we have too many recruits and they aren't ranked where you want.

I guess you all are going to find a reason to complain about something
