#12 class does not cut it. LSU recruits itself with the NFL talent that you could stick anyone at head coach and they would pull in a #12 class. I'm personally sick of the people who think stars don't matter because it absolutely 100% does matter. Just because you name one guy out of the 1,500 3 stars that year that pans out, doesn't mean vast majority don't.

Our DB's this year were 3-star, FCS galore, and it showed.

Our best players this year were all extremely high 4 stars: Jayden Daniels #35 on 247 (basically a 5 star), BTJ #69 overall on 247, Malik #150. Somehow 247 has all 3 rated a lot higher than ESPN, so 247 was more correct.

Not all 4 and 5 stars pan out, but as a collective group, which is all you can go by, they sure as hell outperform 3 stars. I like to compare it to real life. Not all people who score 33+ on the ACT are rich, but I'd bet my bank that those wo score 33+ on the ACT make 3x the amount of money compared to those who score 17-21 on the ACT. Are there some 20 ACT'ers who are rich because they took over Daddy's company with no skill via nepotism or are just really good salesman? Yes. Most aren't though as a collective group.

What I'm saying is that BK will not win a Nati here unless he starts pulling in Top 5 to 7 classes FOR 3 STRAIGHT CLASSES


Are you on drugs all the time or just at that moment?

This post is the sad truth that no one wants to hear


The last 2 classes are going to end up where LSU recruiting classes have avg over the last 20 years

So saying recruiting is going down is not the truth

I used 247, which adds:

Divinity in 2016
Chaisson in 2017
Chase in 2018
Womack in 2023


Thats how I got to my numbers.

What really matters isn’t stars, it’s offer sheets. You know a player is good when they have offers from the other top dogs of college football. Keys isn’t nearly as highly rated as he should be, but has an offer from Bama.

Lol let’s go down the line of 3 star recruits who turned out to be studs . Not all these kids have money or time to go to these camps in which they get rated at . Hell joe burrow was borderline 4 star. Who was also a 3 star at one point in that cycle

Also wasn’t y’all bitching about BK not recruiting the state of Louisiana good enough? Our class is 67% in state kids per on3 . So y’all rather him go out and get a 5 star kid from somewhere else in the country who would probably get homesick and leave lsu in a few years cause not a lot of those kids grow up watching lsu like the kids in Louisiana.

The whole point of this post is this dude bitching about not having a 5 star recruit. I saw McKinley mentioned a bunch in this post just pointing out the fact he isn’t a 5 star anymore so it won’t please this dude who just wants 5 stars
