Despite committing….


Yes, because we all know how iron clad the commitments of 18 year old HS football players are.

No, what I’m telling you is that Lamar Brown did not sign with LSU last July. Nor did he sign on NSD.

I’m simply pointing out that it’s obvious Kiffin played a major role in signing the kid after Kelly was fired.

So, back to your question…. Kelly never signed a number one recruit during his time at LSU while LK has.

This HS class doesn’t give much credit nor blame to Kiffin because it isn’t his class. He can get some credit for holding it together but that has just as much to do with NIL than anything.

Next years HS class is where we’ll find out what Lane is made of.

I really don't think this is the gotcha that you think it is, but honestly everything that's gone down over the last few months is a really bad look for LSU and the state of Louisiana in general. The response from LSU fans is almost cultish like Aggie, but in an annoying irrational and delusional outspoken way, rather than just being closeted and weird

I'm pretty sure that was Houston's coach.



It looks like Kiffin snagged the #4 recruit in the nation. Oh wait, that was BK.

In any case, it looks like this class is just not that great. its a GOOD class, no doubt. Top ten (unless you like to go by average star rankings, in which case it's not even top ten), but not great. And certainly not 'lapping' anybody.

Do you notice that Florida isn't even on that page?


Going by average recruit rankings, we are only three spots behind LSU at #14.



Im VERY HAPPY with this class, considering our 2025 record..

The portal typically represents more experienced players, some who are proven. HS players are all unproven. None of them have done it at the college level.

He literally quit his job at the single most important time in his career and in it's history to take a new one

That’s what happens when an AD tries strong arm tactics. The AD got dunked on and Lane is living his best life.

This is going to upset someone.

Only upset at the stupidity we have to deal with daily. We signed a smaller high school class because our coach had been there for a few days before signing day. The average player of that class was outstanding. Also, portal guys always rank lower than high school guys which make no sense. So adding them up like that makes no sense either. But continue on with the stupidity.

Nope.

This thread is the result of a bunch of LSU fans posting thread after thread about how everyone is 'afraid' of this class, how Kiffin is 'lapping' everyone, etc., etc., and so on.

It's been nonstop for the past few days.

That's what this thread is about it. That not only are you not 'lapping everyone', you are lapping basically no one.

And no one is 'afraid' of this class. It's a decent class, but no as impressive as 8 to 10 (depending on your metric) other teams' classes.

As proven in another thread, LSU fans have started just under 20% of Kiffin threads this week. The data says otherwise.

I'm talking about LSU fans talking nonstop sht about this class as if it's the best in the land.

It's not.

This thread has nothing to do with your little love triangle with Ole Miss fans.
