Rivals.com 2007 Recruiter of the Year Larry Porter, LSU Porter, the running backs coach at LSU, has been named by Rivals.com Recruiter of the Year for 2007. He landed eight high-profile players and averaged 4.0 stars per signing. Porter's star-studded list was a huge reason why the Tigers finished No. 4 in the nation and No. 2 in the SEC. He recruited five-star receiver Terrance Toliver and five-star athlete Chad Jones, which is impressive enough. But Stefoin Francois, Drake Nevis, Jarrett Lee and Delvin Breaux were also big-time gets. Despite missing on Joe McKnight, Porter had the most impressive haul in the country. LSU Henson, the Tigers' recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach, continues to prove he's one of the best young recruiters in the game. Henson landed seven prospects with an average star rating of 3.86. He went into Mobile, Ala., and got Phelon Jones and Sidell Corley and was the recruiter of record for the Bastrop and West Monroe kids in-state. Henson helped the Tigers finish with the nation's No. 4 class and the No. 2 class in the SEC, just behind top-ranked Florida. Good to see LSU is only team with 2 in the top 25. http://www.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=641319
