Here's google Ai's opinion on LSU's class:
LSU's position is defined by a highly selective, "elite talent" approach which results in the highest average player rating among SEC schools, despite having fewer total signees compared to Georgia, Alabama, and Texas A&M, who prioritize building a larger class with a high volume of overall "blue-chip" prospects.
Detailed Comparison of Recruiting Philosophies
Team Average Player Rating (Approx.) Total Commits (Approx.) Strategy
LSU 93.7 (Highest in SEC) ~15 Elite/Targeted: Focuses on securing top-tier, immediate impact players, often from within Louisiana, leading to a high "blue-chip" (4 and 5-star) ratio.
Alabama 93.2 ~21 Top-Tier & Depth: Signs a large number of top national recruits, accumulating significant total talent points, including a high number of five-star commits.
Georgia 91.7 ~29 Volume & Quality: Prioritizes filling out the roster with a large quantity of high-end recruits, leading the conference in total commitments and maintaining a very strong average rating.
Texas A&M 92.1 ~26 Strong Volume: Similar to Georgia, focuses on securing a high number of four-star and five-star players to build depth across the roster.
Florida 91.2 ~19 Quality Focus: Aims for a quality class with a strong average rating, but with fewer top-tier five-star recruits compared to its immediate rivals.
LSU's Distinct Position
LSU's strategy means they are highly selective, concentrating their recruiting efforts on a smaller number of elite targets. This approach is rooted in maximizing the talent index of each player rather than accumulating the most points through a high volume of signees.
Focus on Homegrown Talent: The Tigers historically do well by locking down the significant in-state talent pool in Louisiana, which allows them to secure top players with fewer overall commitments.
Talent vs. Stability: This cycle highlights a key challenge for LSU. Despite the high average rating per recruit, the program faced some recruiting uncertainty due to the coaching change, which made securing their top targets (like Lamar Brown and Richard Anderson) a day-to-day battle during the early signing period.
Upside: If these highly rated, targeted players pan out, LSU's class can be as impactful as a larger class from Georgia or Alabama. The risk is that if a few top players don't perform as expected, the lack of depth (fewer total signees) could become an issue later on.
In short, LSU is choosing to bet on a smaller, potentially higher-impact group of elite players, whereas their rivals are signing larger classes to ensure both top-tier talent and roster depth.
I can dive deeper into the potential long-term risks and benefits of LSU's "elite talent, low volume" recruiting approach compared to the other SEC powerhouses. Would you like me to analyze how this strategy might play out on the field over the next few seasons?

Yes, that is the only reason I made this post, a slam against Lane....

Did I hear Lane say that the tiger defense only had one player from Louisiana high schools...? Here's what Duck Ai found:
