re: LSU loaded up and to criticize this class shows you're ignorant to recruiting

But we all know it’s subjective. Conversely, you think that sorting and ranking subjective data somehow makes it objective.

yes the final rankings of where the class ended is objective. it's not a good thing to average being the 5th best class in the sec.



tell us all how scheme wasnt the biggest issue in 2018.

tell us all how 3wrs means you're not in max protect.
you're a football ignorant dipshit

If you have a class in the top 25-30, you still have a good recruiting class. Mediocrity? There are talented football players all over the country! Rankings are subjective and based on someone's opinion. Teams like Oregon, Washington, Utah and Wisconsin rarely finish in the top 15/top 20, but all contend for conference titles and are often mentioned in the playoff discussion. What rankings don't take into account is a coach's ability to find/develop talent of a 2 or 3-star athlete that other teams are overlooking. Recruiting is not an exact science by a long shot!

CFP rankings and recruiting rankings are subjective.

the ranking themselves are subjective.

the final ranking of the classes arent.
it a fact that lsu is averaging the 5th best class in the sec since O took over.

its amazing how this board uses class rankings and recruits rankings unless is doesnt support their stance.

if lsu had the #1 class the last 3 years everyone including myself would be touting it.

getting back to my initial point....
we need this class to be a homerun. I'm not saying it isnt or we arent getting anymore committments.

19 signed and we’re 4th. Could still end up being in the 2nd best class in the nation (no one’s catching Clemson but that might be us next season after winning a Natty)

composite rankings of O's full classes
2019-4th in the sec
2018- 5th in the sec

Aggie was 3rd because they signed 27 that cycle

that's not how team rankings work


2016- wasnt his class
2017- was handed a top 5 class. he gets credit for holding the class together

So you took 2018 and 2019 which were 4th and 5th, threw out the fact that aggie had the bonus of signing 2 extra recruits and only finished 1 point ahead of LSU and then rounded both classes up to 5th to say LSU averaged 5th.

Come on man. Be better than that.

I'd also add that taking away 2017 is a little disingenuous. O was named interim 4 games into 2016 so to say he was handed a great class is very debatable. He was the recruiting coordinator already and likely had a large part in the recruiting and historically teams lose recruits in transition.

He was named interim on Sept 25th. I would suspect there were a lot of recruits that committed after.

If the class ranking is established using subjective player rankings, then the class rankings themselves cannot be objective.

You’re wasting your time trying to establish logic with Rick. He’s got such an inferiority complex caused by his lack of formal education that he’ll never simply acknowledge his misstatements.

According to Ricky, all of his predictions came true.

I'm not criticizing the class, and I know there is another signing date coming up in February. Nevertheless, I'm still disappointed we had three kids flip during the early signing day.

True. But two were WR's and one was a DB. Those position are the easiest to replace. I don't follow recruiting particularly closely, but if those flips allow LSU to get better recruits along the LOS, then it was likely worth it IMO. Lineman are the more difficult player to grab simply because God doesn't make a ton of Huge, exceptionally athletic people. There are far more smaller/fast guys than 260+ lb freaks
