So you're saying Clemson is actually a better choice if someone wants to be drafted?

Maybe? Bama’s volume is much higher tho

51% of our 5-stars go in the first round as opposed to 36% for Clemson so it depends on whether you want to be drafted in the first round or be drafted at all.

LSU's recruiting class in 2000 was #21. It was #2 a year later. You think he just did that because he was such a good coach?



I hear what you're saying but how did he cheat? Pls explain..

You have more 5 stars so bigger sample size.

If anyone could figure out how he cheats, he wouldn't he able to recruit so well.

Same goes for Orgeron. He's always been able to recruit well, but has really only had one great season. 2018 was good, but he still lost 3 games. Yet, he's pulling in top 10 classes.

Guess I'm naive but I don't believe Saban and O are cheating... I've given LSU fans a lot of shite, simply because you whipped our asses last year but I think O did a great job And all the dominoes fell in place...

I knew we were cheating but we were sloppy and got caught. Many programs cheat and if they do not then they're not trying. Not an excuse but it's the truth.

The opportunity to play for arguably the greatest dynasty in sports history and the greatest football coach of all time. Combine that with the shiny stuff other schools offer (but ours are better) like our $15M nutrition center, etc. It’s a pretty easy sell.

$15 million is the minimum most of the country would accept in exchange for living in Tuscaloosa for at least three years

I would imagine the average NFL career earnings for players who end up starting for Bama far exceeds $15Mil.

I know. Bama has been promoting that a lot with state of Florida recruiting, and they have a point. Will be interesting to see how long yall can maintain that kind of pull on the coastal south though, lots more competition than in 2016

Sorry to break it to you but a vast majority of your recruits dont get a dynasty boner like your fans do.

I doubt most of them could name how many championships you "claim".

I doubt many of them love Saban either.

LSU has a $28M nutrition center if we're measuring dicks.

More 5 stars AND a higher percentage of first round picks. That’s way more impressive.
