And, per usual, the players at the top of the class will be among the most highly-recruited in the nation. The latest edition of On3’s 2023 rankings features 14 players with a coveted five-star rating, up from a previous 11 five-star players. Next up on the countdown is the No. 12 overall prospect in the 2023 cycle, wide receiver Shelton Sampson of Baton Rouge (La.) Catholic.

Brian Kelly has to feel like he hit the absolute jackpot.
"You telling me I have a 5* WR recruit 2 miles down the road!?"

Surely, and I mean surely he has to see the opportunity to immediately come in and play a good role before being entrusted as the go to guy in sophomore season right?
Boutte will be gone next year, our all world 2021 WR class will be juniors and a few of them may go pro.
Sampson will be the go to in 2024. Surely
But NIL and such

Badly need him. Absolute stud.

That hasn't paid off for LSU lately. Seems like the closer they are the faster they leave.

Losing a Catholic HS kid would hurt

Shouldn’t have ran off Tommy… they’re going to “eye for an eye” us lol

i feel like there's some correlation between the things going on around the program the past 2 seasons and the way some highly touted local kids are looking to leave the state. (obviously the coaching change played a decision). But I think with guys like moss and other who left the last cycle, they were seeing closer than the rest of us just how bad the culture around football ops had gotten.

Yeah, but this isn't a recent issue. It has been a problem for years even when Miles was here. Anyone remember guys like Williams leaving for Bama and being very productive for them? He was basically sitting on LSU's campus and just left. For some reason we can't recruit the blue chips sitting on LSU's doorstep. It feels like we strike out more often than we don't like they can't wait to get out of there.

If you can find a better WR in the country show me. Shelton Sampson stop the noise I would take him over Manning in a heart beat.

We miss on Baton Rouge guys way less often than you’re making it out to seem. Which recruiting cycle specifically did more kids with offers leave than committed to Lsu?
Posted on 3/1/22 at 9:24 am to deuce985
Williams case is slightly different. His offer was rescinded late in the cycle. Under much speculation a commitment was attempted. He didn't just leave per se. He was told he wasn't welcome. Mistake, probably, but it was what it was.

I didn't say all of them. I said recruiting blue chips on their doorstep has been an issue and it has.

I watched the state championship game against Jesuit, and #6 for Jesuit was the most dynamic WR on the field and it wasn't really close either. Granted their QB was much better than Catholics but I was expecting Sampson to be what Jesuit's #6 was... I know I'll get killed for this take, but very shocked he is a 5*.

What class is your son and what is his name?

About 9/10 times the guy you thought was so great does absolutely nothing and the guy you didn't think was great dominates college. It's always funny to be around people who are like, "I played against him, he didn't do shite when played us". Well is the motherfricker the Incredible Hulk? Is he supposed to be unstoppable at 17/18? Is he never supposed to have an off game?

Now if he's consistently bad like Haynes King was, that's one thing, but the one game you saw proves nothing.
On another note, what does an 86 mean on ESPN? That seems ridiculous. A 93 from 247 is also bad. I remember thinking it was insane for the composite ranking Derrius Guice as the #5 RB. It was like they were blind to his film. Always thought that that he was the #1 RB in that class. Well 2 years later, 1820 yards at 7.8 ypc and 19 total as the #2 to Fournette, they did a reranking and he was ranked as the #5 recruit in that class. It wasn't one of those recruits where he never showed this in high school. No he really ran like that on high school tape. Dude ran like the Tasmanian Devil

Doesn’t seem like that long ago when I thought his daddy was going to win the heisman one day
