re: How does LSU recruit like this?

Under NCAA and Federal investigation. 2 years in a row of major coaching turnover. Put a dogshit product on the field in 2020. Opt outs and transfers. O loses team for being a Trump supporter.


And yet, the corndogs are still landing a top 4 class and are probably going to beat Bama and A&M for the top WR in Louisiana.

The best comparison I could think of is Auburns 2012 recruiting class. 1 mediocre 8-4 season removed from a national championship. They pulled in the #11 class but didn't have all the other baggage and turmoil.

Is it just the LSU bagmen or is there some other Cajun magic at play here?

It's been speculated that the year after winning a title you get a big recruiting bump. BAMA usually dominates every year so it's kinda hard to crunch those numbers. We got a few flips from LSU and they mentioned the unrest specifically as the reason. But neither one resided in the state of LA.
