Source 24/7 Ranking and end of year AP Ranking for team.

2025:
EOY: LSU - Not ranked - Ole Miss: #6 in CFP

2024:
LSU - 7
Ole Miss - 21
EOY: LSU: Not ranked - Ole Miss: #11

2023:
LSU - 5
Ole Miss - 23
EOY: LSU: #12 - Ole Miss: #9

2022:
LSU - 12
Ole Miss - 27
EOY: LSU: #16 - Ole. Miss: Not ranked (8-5)

2021:
LSU - 3
Ole Miss - 17
EOY: LSU: Not ranked - Ole Miss: #11

2020: Lane first year
LSU - 4
Ole Miss - 35
EOY: LSU: Not ranked - Ole Miss: Not ranked

I think I’ll trust in Lane’s evaluations over recruiting services and the NOLA HS coach mafia.

Seems like kiffin likes the transfer portal more than high school recruiting.

Those are high school recruiting rankings, they do not take into account the transfer portal.

Go ahead and post the transfer portal rankings.

Unless you just came out of a coma, recruiting at Ole Miss is not on same level as LSU, hence why Lane is here.

He did better with “less” is the point.

I agree…didn’t realize we were that bad until I put info together, but…we have a coach now that knows how to drive the Ferrari he’s been given.

Wow. You whiffed on that one.

Kiffin’s players consistently outperform their ratings. That’s what coaching and scheming can do for you. Add a top class and this could be something.

And Saban suggested that Kiffin may have a lot more success in HS recruiting @ LSU vs Ole Miss; so the trend could continue in the future

Ratings are misleading. Getting multiple highly rated WRs & CBs will push you very high in the recruiting rankings, but not having balanced recruiting across all positions will eventually doom your team.

I noticed that about Les Miles. He loaded up on speed players, got high rankings, then watched many of them not play or transfer.

I understand using the portal to start but you can't ignore the Louisiana talent. I hope Lane doesn't learn the hard way like Kelly did. He had to do thqt because he was at Ole Miss. This is LSU. I hope he's ready to develop relationships with these coaches here.
