While true, of the 2 5 stars, the latest commitment was 5/31/19, the other in 2018. So what caused the big jump?

Lathan Ransom, a 4 star safety.

And to further show the tomfoolery.

Avg player rating

Clemson - .9456
Ohio State - .9209
Alabama - .9319
LSU - .9247
Notre Dame - .9066
Georgia - .9287

My only guess is they are the only class with 21 committs?

That one extra commit currently gives them the points for #2. It won't last long.

Why do y’all get caught up in rankings? Are we going to print shirts for recruiting wins now?

Lsu will end up with the #5 class once Georgia surges up the rankings...if Jarrett decommits we might drop lower...still a great freaking class though so I'm not complaining...if LSU has a great year again I think we take another step up in recruiting which would be fantastic..

No way this class ends up below top 5 unless things fall apart.

Ohio State has 9 top 100 recruits.
LSU has 5 top 100 recruits.


We have a kicker signed who is going to grey shirt which drags down the average rating.

And Ohio State has a 5-star RB commiting on Aug. 2.


Both LSU and Ohio State have great classes.

There's nothing nefarious going on.

I love how you guys act like it's a conspiracy. Their class was neck and neck with ours and they landed a high level commit. That's why it's #2, not some bullshite tinfoil hat conspiracy.

24/7 won't allow this to happen and will have multiple updates to player ratings.

Bama will finish in the #2 spot at the very least.

The difference is, your class is done after that. Ours is just beginning.

I'm not even discussing our class. I'm more shocked they jumped Bama.

I'm not "caught up in rankings". There's no season yet so it's literally the only thing competitive to pay attention to right now.

I'm sorry you need a dumbass disclaimer every time someone posts about recruiting rankings.

For the idiots "i know rankings and stars don't mean anything right now".

You tards are getting worse than the rant.

Looks wrong but higher 4* add way more points than lower 4*.
It’s possible.
The problem is they will update the rankings again and Bama will move up by grading higher overall. It’s happened the last few years. The last time people said we had less negative ratings than Bama but the overall rating greatly favored Bama.
I think the difference between Clemson and Bama players last year showed biased ratings doesn’t equate to better players.

That’s why you trust the coaches evaluations and Dabo seems to be very good at it.

How many is LSU taking this cycle?

And also, that's wrong. We have the #3 APB most likely committing as well on July 30th and will be taking at least 25 total recruits, perhaps 26.

I hope you realize it is all numbers based. Before Ransom committed, we could have calculated exactly how much their class would have improved. It's not like the 247 staff just picked Ohio State on a whim.
