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.

This hasn't always been bullshite but it's been bullshite since at least the early 00s when recruiting truly became a national concept.

Let's take ND's 2018 class by recruit's state. Fourteen of them were from southern states and 3 from CA.

In the 1980s? Yeah. Georgia locked up Georgia, Florida/Florida State/Miami locked up Florida. But no more.
