LSU back at #4 on 247??

Rivals did a Rivals100 update

No worries. We'll add Ojulari this Friday and be back ahead.

And Koy Moore commits Saturday

I saw it too but held back from starting a thread because we have a monster class right now and percentage points mean nothing at this point.

It means nothing at this point. Yet, I don't get so many downvotes on a question.

It’s the automatic response from those who think they could have asked it in a better way. These yahoos downvote when people ask for prayers because their puppy died. Don’t try to understand, it’s wasted time.

Just watched BJ Ojulari's highlights. WANT. Is he expected to commit to us on Friday? I know crystal ball picks aren't every everything, but not a single one for LSU.

Yep. Top 5 will be Bama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU, and Ohio State in some form or fashion.

LSU will jump to #2 temporarily after this weekend (Moore and Ojulari commitments).

That will put LSU at 24 with at least 3 other kids they really want.

We have 22 commits with a 92.53 avg.

OSU has 22 commits with a 92.08 avg.

Plus we have more 4 stars and the same amount of 5 stars.

Doesn't make sense

The 247 class rankings are pretty heavily weighted toward the top of the class. So the highest-rated recruit in a class has a huge affect on their rank, while the 25th-rated recruit barely moves the needle.

In other words, in this simplified scenario:

School A top 5 recruits rated .92, .91, .90, .89, and .88
School B top 5 recruits rated .94, .92, .90, .88, and .86

Both schools have an average recruit rating of .90, but school B will have a higher class ranking because their top 3 are better than school A’s top 3. At least that’s the simplified way to explain it.

They rank the classes this way because your top 5 recruits are likely to see more playing time over 3-4 years (and therefore contribute more to the team’s performance) than the bottom 5 recruits.

To look at the real world example, here are the 247 composite ratings for the top 10 recruits for both schools:

LSU / OSU
0.9940 / 0.9985
0.9905 / 0.9963
0.9791 / 0.9771
0.9781 / 0.9701
0.9762 / 0.9698
0.9723 / 0.9653
0.9519 / 0.9651
0.9384 / 0.9645
0.9378 / 0.9431
0.9349 / 0.9332

Nobody has put together a class like they are this year how does that not throw up red flags to the ncaa. Clemson has never in their history been able to recruit anything close to this.

I am very close to a few board members at a few colleges in the country “Clemson & Texas” are two of them! I told people that a board member had told me flat out that no matter what LSU offered it would never be enough! Their new AD had been given an open checkbook with any number “needed” to sign Herman. The “needed” meaning they knew who their only competition was and knew LSU could only offer so much and whatever that number was UT could outbid it. Anyway he guaranteed that LSU would not sign Herman and he was right. Now people said on my post after the fact, that everyone knew that! Maybe so but I was the first person on this board to put my name behind it on this site before it went down.

Why I mention that is my buddy at Clemson has flat out stated numerous times when we are drinking together that Clemson cheats and their system is so full proof that they have been able to outbid others without fear of being caught, unless one of the players speak up. He bragged “lol” about how Clemson was steeped in a long history of cheating scandals and was proud of it. He said all those failures and getting caught actually made them better at cheating because they needed to hide it better. They go by, you gotta cheat if you want to compete, philosophy there he said!

I know I believe him!

And NO he hasn’t told me their system yet but every time I get him drunk I ask him and I won’t stop until he finally tells me!

This post will get whacked anyway so flame away! Haha
