I was highly upset when he was hired as HC. I love the man but just couldn't get past the fact that he was completely unqualified. BUT, he has us with a top 5 class in a year where he was named interim HC mid season. That's incredible.

Just had to give Orgeron his props. A top 5 class as a first year coach is pretty impressive.

Edit: sorry, forgot about Kirby signing a top 10 class last year. Oops!

Pretty insane considering Canada is relatively unknown to a lot of these recruits in the south and O's track record at Ole Miss. hopefully it carries over to the season

O has always been a one of the best recruiters in the nation

It will for the first half of the season and inevitably come crashing down in early November like every year.
Regardless, nice class LSU. But we all knew recruiting was never O's problem

Yeah but as a first year HC it's unprecedented. A first year HC hasn't ever even signed a top 10 class and hes got us a top 5 class. That's insane.

With a new HC and both coordinators I think lsu did a heck of a job. You guys will always get talent as you have every year anyone thinking otherwise isn't smart.

What is the point?

Not being a smartass, it's an impressive class. A really good recruiter coaching LSU is going to bring in a good class on a yearly basis. That part shouldn't be too surprising.

I think OP may be jumping the gun a little on this recruiting class validating the hire though. O has recruited well everywhere. He still hasn't proven to be a coach capable of elite results in the fall though. Time will tell.

Kirby Smart signed a top 10 class in his first year, which was literally only last year

This will be the random anti-LSU comment on a random LSU thread that allows you to forget about the Clemson loss.
I just know it !

Oh, I'm not doing that at all. Just wanted to give Orgeron his props. It's a hard thing to do. I still think it was an absolutely terrible hire.

This is dumb, almost the entire staff stayed in tact all year, not some outsider doing that.

I'm sure you're hoping it will. With all the shite Gumps talk about O, you better hope and pray you get a win at home.
