I wouldn’t say that. Sometimes I do get some info that I try to share. I took a break from for awhile after my Tolan post about him dealing with personal issues. When I posted that he like days later when to Auburn and everyone said I was spewing BS so I quit posting. Turns out now Tolan is still dealing with personal issues.

Don't let people giving you the business effect your stance on sharing information. It is still interesting and people want to hear what you have to say..

He hasn't yet. BK was hired in November of 2021. If you count 2022 as a "full year" we were #12 in HS recruits and #7 overall. 2023 #6 HS recruits and #5 overall. Currently #9 HS recruits and overall.

We need to do better, much better at certain skill positions, but this narrative of all we get with Kelly is non top 10 classes and 3*s is completely fabricated by some on here who are either overreacting to Sunday or just don't like Kelly and never will. I remember seeing similar stuff posted all over here right after the fsu game last year, and we had a top 5 class and won the west.

you can't count 2022 class - he was hired less than a month before early signing day

I agree but some on here will try to use it as an argument Kelly can't recruit at lsu so that's why I posted it.

lot of back and forth goes on. It seems to me LSU tries to avoid bidding for a player that is going back and forth looking for the highest offer. That’s why you see Texas and Alabama for example winning out for Collin Simmons and Desmond Ricks in the later days or even hours.


Right. What does Kelly think is going to happen for these top players.

It's worrisome.

LSU did this with Perkins though with BK no less the one that was part of the deal. LSU came out of nowhere at the last minute and outbid TAMU like a last minute Ebay bid.

Evaluations seem to be an issue for LSU. This might be part of the problem I mentioned above since Nader left and identifying the proper athletes at this level.




Florida had a higher offer on the table for perkins.

I believe texas a&m did as well. Perkins is a rare exception in that he actually took less to come to lsu.

Clemson appears to be feeling the effects of Dabo not getting into bidding wars or exploring the portal to fill deficiencies

You agree on Nader? I'm curious what you might think in this area. I don't think LSU fans know how important he was for our success so his retirement has seen a noticeable dip in talent at LSU since. That can't be a coincidence.

He’s been real quiet on Twatter lately, either it’s because he’s focusing on football or he’s about to de-commit. Always happens like this. Purely speculation on my part.

I guarantee if we finish outside the top 10 in recruiting this cycle there will be changes to our recruiting strategy. That should never happen at LSU.

I really think Harbaugh leaving for NFL after this year. His recruitment will definitely go down to signing day.

I don’t know. Just based off of that article, I’d say LSU is the clear leader.

He mentioned the only thing he hasn’t seen with LSU yet is a game, which he will. He mentioned he’s still getting comfortable with the Michigan coaches. He’s supposed to be committing in January, I wouldn’t be encouraged if he said that about LSUs coaches in September.

As for Colorado, they’re the talk of CFB right now. But they still aren’t going to be a very good team by seasons end and it seems their recruitment just started. We’ll see where that goes but they’re playing catch up.
