Of the HS recruits who actually got here, that is probably correct.

Bryce Underwood


Of the guys who didn't make, this is the one.

LF is def up there

Don’t know how far back we are going, but Russell Shepard and Anthony Johnson had a lottttt of hype coming into LSU as well.

Not sure Kevin Faulk is still considered recent era, but he would get my vote!

It was LF for me and boy did he pan out. Additionally, even though it didn’t pan out, I was excited for Underwood. With the recent success of LSU qb’s the last few years, you’d think the top QB’s would be drooling to come to LSU

Since Joe McKnight, Russell Shepard whom everyone thought was a unique qb talent. We were all wrong.
Patrick Peterson, arguably the most hyped and most physically gifted recruit we've ever had. No explanation needed.
I can see Fournette. He was special looking uptil he met other special looking guys. Bama, NFL.

Fournette, Joe McKnight, and Perrilloux.
HM - Randall Mackey if you ever saw him play you just know.

He destroyed every sec team aside from bama. Had a few solid pro seasons and absolutely contributed big time to Tampa in their SB run with Brady.

Made a run against Bama. Went toward sideline right in front of LSU bench. If he opens his eyes and cuts to middle, it's a 70 yd TD.

Brandon Harris. Certainly didn't work out. And he can stay his @ss in Texas.
