When you look at the bigger picture, the rankings do matter. There are plenty of 5 star busts and 2 star superstars.

The teams that get the most talent are usually better. You still have to coach them up but the talent makes a big difference.

Top class indicates depth and sustainability - if you can coach them up.

Good coach + good players = crystal

8 of the last 11 years at least one team with a top 5 recruiting class played in the BCS title game.

Nah...ill keep putting stock into it.

OK, you take all the 3 stars and we'll take all the 5 stars.

Yeah, because getting elite talent out of high school is a waste of time....

So you're saying LSU can't develop players?

I agree.

Morris Claiborne and Josh Williford were both 2 stars when they received offers.

And yet we have consistently gone toe to toe with the great Saban, so we must really recruit some serious talent since it is undeveloped.

We play down to the competition.

Hey, was that "toe to toe" a shot at our kicking nightmare two years ago?

If LSU had signed the #1 class in America yesterday would you have started this thread?

Stop putting so much stock in regular season games. They don't mean that much if you get a rematch and kick the crap out of them in the BCS championship.

There is truth to recruiting but they are not the entire picture. IMHO as long as you are in the top 15-20 you have the talent to compete with anyone on a given day.
