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.


hours making calls, making in-home visits and wooing top recruits.

There is an elite group of assistant coaches that has separated itself as the best in the business. LSU assistant coach Larry Porter has been named the Rivals.com Recruiter of the Year, but he's not the only coach who deserves special recognition. The list below is the top 25 recruiters in the game today as selected by Rivals.com staff members. Later this week, Rivals.com will honor the top recruiters in each BCS Conference.

Josh Henson, 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.

Pat Ruel did an absolute killer job for USC. Best Oline class ever, maybe.

I am very glad to see DeWayne Walker get the credit for ucla. Dorrell did his job for sure but they got some great local defensive talent BECAUSE of Walker and it was Walker who held this class together when KD was fired. Last night on our local Fox Sports channel, a ucla honk gave credit to Neuheisel. :dis: I wonder if he'll be blaming KD if they don't produce.

Great year for some interesting recruiting stories. Still waiting on Terrell.

 

Didn't Thompson have the Mobile area when he was at LSU?

 

Yes. But Saban and Jimbo did most of the recruiting in Mobile while Thompson was at LSU.
