Getting back to the best recuiting class issue, this is undoubtedly the BEST recruiting class ever from a sheer numbers standpoint. So those of you saying number 2 are not understanding what I am pointing out. This class is better than 2001 from a ranking system perspective. I am not saying anything more than that. For this class to outperform the 2001 class will be a steep task, no doubt.
I would wait on ranking them ahead of last years class for a few years, I mean how soon we forget. That class was very special and will prove it on the field I bet!!!
I'm hearing that his brother plays for a small school in WV, Dallas. That may have played in his decision. Congrats so far on your recruiting class. You guys deserve it!
I received an email last night telling me that White had changed his mind after talking to the coaches again as he really wants to be a QB and that is very unlikely at LSU.
I understand you're argument, but I don't believe in having a good class solely based on numbers. I think the top 15 of last years class was better than the top 15 of this years class, and that's the way I like to judge a class. I don't believe it's great just because we sign 26 players. I would take a class of only 15 players if every one of those was going to be a starter for us.
But that is not the point. Look at the rankings of these players, count the number of 5 star, 4 star and 3 star players and compare. This is the deepest highest quality recruiting class of all time at LSU. That is all I am saying. They still have to prove it on the field. But my point is still correct. This is the best class.
Fair enough. I guess it just doesn't feel that way because I'm just not as excited about this class as I was about last years class. I think not having a headliner quarterback is one thing missing from this year's class that was there last year. (Not that we needed one this year) I also don't put too much stock in star ratings. They are a good ball park measure, but in no way are they an undisputable scientific measure of which class is the best.
