LSU historically seems to fall in that #4-6 area for "good classes," they will never recruit near the top year in and out.
The reasons why have been the topic of much debate and it seems the theory that makes the most sense is that Louisiana kids are often underranked because they haven't had the resources/coaching that kids from more affluent areas have.
So in theory, a five star kid from Texas may have already hit his ceiling while a three star from Louisiana can perform to five star expectations with some development.
I think you see the same thing in Mississippi and in Alabama to a little lesser degree.

Yeah, I agree with that. Guys like Marcel Dareus end up being 3-star athletes simply because their parents couldn't afford to take him anywhere but the in-state camps at the various universities.

Not even that high.
LSU averages about an 8th ranked class.
