Seems like they should have way more due to the fact of all the number 1 recruiting classes.

Not really. It's just the OP throwing one of LSU fans' last remaining talking points/bragging rights back at them. Nothing more, nothing less. It's the way of the Rant.

Man. LSU fans are pissed off in this thread.

Congrats to the OP, you hit the right button.

you've outrecruited everyone for a near decade it's taken long enough.


But I thought the players that Bama recruited don't deserve to be five stars and need the Bama bump?

Which one is it?

Has it taken Saban a decade to take the record with by far more talented five stars?

Or were the players bums who didn't deserve to be five stars to begin with?

LSU recruiting the last eight years according to the 24/7 composite team rankings:


2010 - 9
2011 - 8
2012 - 13
2013 - 6
2014 - 2
2015 - 5
2016 - 2
2017 - 7


Alabama's:
2010 - 1 LSU Win
2011 - 1 LSU Win, Bama Win
2012 - 1 Bama Win
2013 - 1 Bama Win
2014 - 1 Bama Win
2015 - 1 Bama Win
2016 - 1 Bama Win
2017 - 1 Bama Win

At least you finally passed us up in NFL players

We passed you up in a lot more than NFL players, see if you can tell where.

The insecurity of Bama fans is so bad

Just because people point out some guys get unjustifiably bumped up in recruiting rankings that commit to you doesn't mean people say your entire class did. But hey, keep those insecurities coming through.

Congrats Insecure U

Next we'll print the shirts on Alabama's Corndog eating championship over us because then we'll really have nothing left.

This doesn't even make sense.

At least 21-0, six in a row and Alabama having more NFLers to become the new NFLU are things that have actually happened.


ETA: hiring a defensive line coach that has a losing record overall and in the SEC and somehow convincing yourself it was a good to great hire. Sorry, I couldn't leave that one off.

I've always liked and admired Nick Saban.

What I'll love the most is when he retires and all you arrogant gump asses go full suicidal as the program drops off.

And we're going to pour it on just like you love to do now.

tRant is great for this. All the random stats, random rankings, random lists only matter as much as the point you're trying to make.

Bama players are always overrated; the fans are insecure when they point out that's not true. Bama recruits aren't worthy of their rankings, until it's time to argue that Saban has way more talent to work with than everybody else. Saban makes terrible OC hires, wins with said OCs, then said OCs are irreplaceable. I remember way back when Saban's program building had nothing to do with Les Miles's success at LSU, until it was time to cut bait with Miles.

From the article:

Ignored in the draft, Travin Dural signed on as a free agent and gave complaining LSU fans their Saints player


This is pretty funny

Go ahead and print us some 2017 SEC Champs shirts. My '16, '15, '14, and '12 versions all end up getting ruined around the first weekend of November the following year.

This is fake news.

I count 40 LSU players on active rosters on this list:

Feels good to be on top.

Much like your team when they play Alabama, it would seem you're behind.

I don't know. I can still say that I've only met one Alabama fan that actually went to school there.
