Sucks that all that publicity gets thrown out while everyone who matters is still in school.
Good point. But really, who pays attention to recruiting sites the way we do? I would imagine it is a pretty small demographic to begin with. Then you factor in that there are 4 major sites all with their own rankings.
I would have to imagine the common fan (who doesn't pay attention to any of this shite) casually looks at ESPN to see who they picked up for the first time all year.
Besides, there's a reason all these recruits chose ESPN as their medium for announcing their decision. They are the king of sports. The king of sports ranked us numero uno. Like I said, not bad for LSU

High school coaches and players pay attention and know the difference....

I think you have to pay at ESPN to even view the commit list for each team.
If I could fix ESPN:
1. Devote more time and energy into evaluating prospects
2. Be more transparent about how their team rankings are formulated
3. Allow me to view commits from my team and highlights without having to pay to be an "INsider"
The thing is, ESPN could monopolize the industry if they were willing to put in the work. They just won't invest. 247, Rivals, and Scout invest MILLIONS in recruiting. ESPN invests in signing day. They put on a good production, but they're missing the whole product.

Well, the fans don't play last time I checked. So, if you want a moral victory, you can have it. In reality other teams have better recruiting classes. Not saying LSUs class isn't extremely good, but c'mon with that logic.
EDIT: A fan isn't going to influence a player to go to a particular school because ESPN says they have the best class.
