Recruits trending towards LSU

A d-line consisting of McKinley, Collins, & Simmons would be crazy

Crazy that we are trending for these dl commits without a coach

Don’t forget about Ahmad Breaux & CJ Jackson!

If you guys knew how this "trending" concept worked you wouldn't give this shite a 2nd thought.
First and most important, the kids have access to their profiles. That alone discounts all of it. Trolling activated.
Yet let's continue
Social media page visits and likes(meaningless)
Visits(only confirmed so that's a plus but does include scheduled visits that haven't taken place)
Info from access granted to team affiliated "journalists"(no way that could mislead)
Then we finally get to rpm picks which also are a bit misleading.

Of the 5 kids on that list what has changed to cause this article?
McKinley-nothing
Green-nothing
Mack-nothing
Singleton-moved visits including LSU where he hasn't been in months yet we are trending suddenly
Collins-the only one that had any significant intel presented to possibly signify "trending".

It's a horseshite made up article for clicks and clicks alone. Similar to those useless "1st time in history" stats that some computer spit out to give announcers something "newsworthy" to discuss during games.

Not saying we don't lead for all 5 as I believe we do. Just saying this article lends nothing of value that wasn't already known. Regurgitation and speculation based on an algorithm that we all KNOW can be trusted and is without manipulation

Man I hope we get Singleton. I think he is going to end up being very good at LB.

Mckinley
Mack
Singleton

I just don't think lsu gets simmons in the long run

Pretty sure those are the cb percentages.

Not certain about the other kids but i can almost 100% guarantee you that singleton is and will be a tiger

Actually On3's percentages are more complicated than that. Predictions from their insiders certainly factor heavily into those numbers, but they try to consider all possible information. So that number is weighing things like predictions, number of times the guy has been on campus, how recently he's been on campus, geography (especially in-state vs out-of-state but also raw distance in miles), offers, etc. I think it may even incorporate some aspect of a web-scraping tool to gauge how much the guy is being mentioned in relation to each school.



I'm pretty sure it is AI-based, so basically it's going to try to identify every variable that could have a correlation with the eventual choice and then weight them according to their predictive strength. I'm pretty sure that insider predictions are the most heavily-weighted factor, though. Dominick McKinley's forecast is illustrative, here. Texas was initially the leader, then on February 15--right after McKinley was offered by LSU--LSU jumped into the lead at 28% versus Texas's 24%. Then on March 8th Spiegs put in a prediction for LSU and LSU jumped from 28% to 94%. Since then, LSU has dropped very slightly to 93%, likely just given that he hasn't been back to campus during that span.



EDIT: I just realized after poking around that On3 actually lists the factors that go into its forecasts - Insider predictions, visits, fan site insiders, "industry leaders" (not sure what that means), social sentiment, media sentiment, geographic data, coaching staff success, and state and high school historical data. I'd assume that this last factor would mean, for example, that geography would be more predictive for LSU than for a school like Ohio State
