Oh yeah, I really like this prediction. That’s a top 3 class IMO

This is his wish list or his expected list?

Ivy still seems set on A&M. Didn’t see anything over the weekend that pointed at him swaying his decision.

Atkins is expected to flip any minute now.

As incredible as it would be to land all of these guys, still wouldn't be top 3.

If you include everyone mentioned on that list, it would take us to 287. Putting us in 3rd right now.

Meaning the top 2 are uncatchable and you'd have to get no further signings from the current top 6.

But who frickin cares what are ranking number is if we land all these guys. It would be an incredible haul.

One edge rusher still seems light even tho Colin Simmons would be massive

Expected , he says that Ivy still not committing to A&M is a sign that LSU is really in it

So the new projected players to the class who have yet to commit are the following guys, right?

Caden Durham, Jelani Watkins, Joseph Cryer, Blake Ivey, Dominick McKinley, Gabriel Reiford, Colin Simmons, Devin Smith, and Wardell Mack.

That’s missing pretty much none of the big targets who have shown serious interest

Well that would be drawing to an inside straight.

Would be an incredible haul.

He said Texas was the leader and a flip would be the most likely route for him to end up in the class

Think everyone has been kinda 50/50 with him. Not a surprise at all on this board to many if he doesn't finish with this class.

Atkins has essentially already flipped. Just hasn’t gone public with it yet

I’m trying to remember how long ago it was, but 287 was a top 2 class 10+ years ago. 300+ Used to be a god tier class. Now it’s just top 3. I’ll take this class any day of the week. Half of Saban’s five stars have been underperforming or transferring. Look at Drew Sanders.

Edit: I stand corrected. Looking back now at class rankings, there was a 300+ almost every year from 2010-2014. Memory is fading me.

Dude IDGAF if this class ends up out of the top 10 if we land all the guys mentioned.

The ranking position is irrelevant. Get the guys you want/need and let the chips fall where they may.

You don't hang banners for recruiting rankings unless you live in college station

We seem to be particularly adept at winning Championships without consistent top-3 classes anyway. Seems the Louisiana prospects are usually underrated in aggregate. I’m on board BK’s train.

Yep, Les was the king at landing top 3-5 classes due to focusing on only skill players late in his tenure.
