4 of the Top 10 players in State stayed in State with 1 undecided still (1 of Top 5 with 2 to decide)
This confuses me... are there one or two undecided players here?

Then you don't know about Leonard. We aren't just talking about a typical talented running back. This is a huuuuuge get. I seriously don't understand the "underwhelming" sentiment you and others are showing.
It's ridiculously baffling to be honest.

I don't get it either. LF will single handedly take over games. I have no doubt.

Is LF that much better than Gray was coming out of HS (#1 RB/#9 overall prospect)?
Is LF that much better than Savon Huggins coming out of HS? (#1 RB/#5 overall)
Marcus Lattimore (#1 RB/#2 overall)
Cierre Wood (#1RB/#3 overall)
Bryce Brown (#1RB/#2 overall)
Is LF going to single handily change the complexion of the team and is the missing piece? It is always HUGE to grab the #1 player overall in recruiting, how is LF any different that the previous ones?
Now you can just say, "you just don't understand"

So basically this year is LSU worst haul for top state recruits in the past decade (by # of players in top 5) What we thought was going to be the best recruiting year in history is now the worst in the last decade.
Our talent this year was huge and not that many big talents stay in state for any school.

Yes.... LF is that much better than Gray, Huggins, Wood, Brown, and a little better than Lattimore was. Thats as a prospect. Hes different from all those guys because hes NFL ready today. All of those guys werent. LF is an 18 year old in a 25 year old NFL RBs body. And has the speed, vision, speed, physical play, toughness, etc. The best comparison ive seen of LF, besides the AP thing, is that hes a combination of both Gurley and Marshall for UGA. Size, power, tackle breaking ability of Gurley, but also has the speed, vision, balance, and moves of Marshall.
Best prospect in a decade and best RB prospect since AP. Hes a "once in a lifetime" type recruit.

Ben is joke. No one saying a bad class just the worst in a while with home grown talent in a year when people were saying we would have the best class ever.

Eh I know I will get blasted for this, but while getting the #1 player is nice it is just a ranking. I doubt there is THAT much difference in the #1-#3 RB in the nation recruiting wise.
So, the number 1 recruit in the nation is "just a nice ranking" but we're still supposed to be sad over having the #5 class in the country? You're trying to have it both ways. If LF is no different from the #3 RB then whoever we get to replace Noil and Willis will be just as good as well.
There is no question that LF is a more important recruit than Noil, Willis, and Brown combined. To say otherwise is just dumb. We have tons of wide receiver and defensive talent in this class, and we're severely lacking at RB, and it's just false that it's easier to recruit elite RB talent than the other positions. That's laughable. An elite running back is rare and one elite running back can be a total game changer, MUCH more than the other positions.

No way in hell. That makes no sense. Hell, Barry Sanders wasn't worth three other elite players.

We could have pulled 4/5 the other day with that one being fournette going somewhere else and this place would have been nuclear.
Pls if you actually have any knowledge of recruiting and have followed the recruitment of fournette you would not be trying to act like him jumping aboard isn't that big of a deal.

Whew. I am glad we did not land all the great talent. Why am I glad? I do not know but ghe RB gurus seem to think we should not regret the ue chippers that left us so them not coming must be a good thing.
Thanks for the enlightenment.

Who gives a frick? I swear you worry more about other posters than you do anything else. More than half your posts are calling someone else out.
LSU will be fine, but missed on a lot of in state talent. They've got a month to regroup and go out of state and make up for it.
It will be a decent class regardless, but let's not pretend there wasn't a lot of talent left on the table here.

It is ok, he takes any critique or question of staff/players as some sort of personal attack. It has been his thing since he joined, you are not allowed to question the players, staff, program in any form.

Oh, I'm aware. He calls out everyone, even on the poli board.
It's a mixed bag recruiting cycle so far and no one knows how it will pan out for a couple of years but there is a bit of disappointment, rightly so.
Posted on 1/4/14 at 1:51 pm to RogerTheShrubber
Mixed bag?
That's my problem with people on here.
Lsu's class is far from a mixed bag.
And I'm also 100% sure that you and tdeucen do not actually follow the recruiting cycle but have jumped on the bandwagon to criticize.
It really does amaze me that we have people shitting on this lsu class.
