ESPN's recruiting rankings are not up to date - Yesterday's signings missing - show only 21 signings for LSU, this skews all the recruiting rankings that include ESPN in their calculations.

With ESPN updated, LSU should be 3rd pretty much across the board. ESPN's outdated ranking now has LSU at 7th.

Except that they are included in composite rankings, which screws that up

Exactly. 1/3 of the composite, in some cases.

I fricking hate espn recruiting. it SUCKS that they try to make themselves seem to be the end all be all of recruiting. none of their stuff is up to date and their "experts" only follow players who are going to big schools like bama and georgia. they don't give a damn about high 3 star guys or low 4 star guys. I couldn't care less that LSU is outside of their top 5 in recruiting. 247 is the only one I put serious stock in. Rivals is okay but I don't follow them as much because I've always felt like they don't give me all the details I'm looking for

24/7 is partially (and significantly) based on ESPN's incomplete rankings

You had the usual uninformed posters using that #7 that wasn't updated to bitch about LSU'S class being bad. They didn't stop to check before they used it in their glee to get it to the board. They wanted to be the first to shite on the class.

247 is also not fully updated. Aggies show 27 recruits but they only signed 25. Two players did not sign due to eligibility issues. If you take those two players out, we finish 4th in 247, not 5th.

However, ESPN does show the Aggies players correctly. Seems like all sites have some cleaning up to do...

I live in Houston and have a bet with an Aggie on who finished with higher recruiting class, this is why I know this...

They aren't shitting on the class. They are shitting on Coach O for missing the top DE prospect in the class for the second time in three years. Getting a 3 star juco guy doesn't make up for missing high rated 4 star recruits.

After this year LSU will most likely have zero 5* DL, three 4* DL, and the rest 3*.

ESPN recruiting content is such shite. They had Stingley close to 20th in the country or something overall?

And when 24/7 gets the updated ESPN data (showing LSU's signings from yesterday - which are now missing on ESPN), LSU should be 3rd, not 4th, right? Do you have some other data showing otherwise?

USA Today composite has LSU tied for 3rd, and includes ESPN's outdated 7th ranking.

Didn't know Bleacher report had a ranking. Again, USAToday has LSU at tied for 3rd (and this is skewed downward by ESPN's missing data)

Espn was only concerned with slobbing Saban for being No1
