This really isn’t accurate at all. The last 10 seasons, ND has had an avg SOS ranked 23rd. That’s not SECW tough, but it’s definitely far from “shite.”


He also averaged the #13 class over that time, which is comparable or better than everybody but Bama in the west.

So there's also the myth that he didn't have the players necessary to beat teams like Pitt or Florida State.

So he's already recruiting better than that at LSU, by far.

But, we as SEC fans have contended for a generation now that what has fueled the SEC's meteoric rise is the different type of athlete in the South compared to the B1G footprint.

So what is it now? Does the SEC have access to a different beast of athlete over the B1G, or doesn't it? We cannot play that both ways to further a particular agenda.

He managed to salvage the 2022 class into a #6 rated class with transfers. He's got a top 5 class now. If he can stay around top 5 at LSU, he'll have way more talent than he ever had at ND.

LSU had the #7 class on average over that time. There's a pretty stark difference between 7 and 13, especially year to year.

You're an idiot.

LSU 247 class rankings 10 years prior to Kelly being named HC-

21 #3
20 #4
19 #5
18 #15
17 #7
16 #2
15 #5
14 #2
13 #6
12 #13

Maybe comparable or better than everybody but UGA in the East.

He did not have the athletes to win at the highest level.
