Any notable players and where would I find yearly rankings of his efforts?
At Miami, he notably recruited HOFer DT Warren Sapp and DT Cortez Kennedy.
At USC, he recruited NFL players DT Shaun Cody, DT Mike Patterson, Manuel Wright, DT Sedrick Ellis, DE Lawrence Jackson, DE Jeff Schweiger
At Ole Miss, as HC, he closed the deal on NFL players DE Greg Hardy, WR Dexter McCluster, OG Rishaw Johnson and 5 star players OG Michael Oher and DT Jerrelle Powe
At Tenn, he helped recruit LB Jerod Askew and both 5 star recruits Bryce Brown and former LSU-commit DB Janzen Jackson (who said of O "I love him.")
At USC, in his second stint, he recruited 5 star recruits DT Kenny Bigelow, and QB Max Browne. He was also the main recruiter for high 4 star recruits DE Greg Towsend Jr, WR Markeith Ambles, and CB Chris Hawkins. He assisted Monte Kiffin bringing in the 2015 #1 overall NFL pick DE Leonard Williams.
At LSU, he was the main recruiter for Top 100 players DE Arden Key, 5-star DT Rashard Lawrence, CB Savion Smith, DT Ed Alexander and OG Donavaughn Campbell, just to name a few.
This class for LSU, he is the main recruiter for LSU commit DT Tyler Shelvin, the #1 player in La and the nation's #2 overall DT. He is currently trending again with the nation's #1 overall DT 5-star Marvin Wilson.

It's terrifying to think about how good LSU is going to be once they have good players.

He's been one of if not the best recruiter in college football for more than 2 decades.

I understand, but LSU has more players on NFL rosters this season than any other team in the nation (or at least they did when the season started). Talent has NEVER been the issue at LSU.

He's one of the best but he for damn sure isn't the best.

Why is coach O not recruiting 5 star QB Jarrett Stidham? It should be an easy sell over A&M and Auburn.

He also recruited Joe McKnight away from LSU while at OM. He can get the talent no doubt

How do you know he isn't?

He learned his lesson when he offered Tua and the rant called him names.

1. It's not an easy sell over A&M. Aggies always recruit great at QB they just can't keep them or win with them (post JFF)
2. Going after QBs that don't fit the vision was a Les and CC thing to do. We see where that landed them right?

Jamarca Sanford
Peria and John Jerry
Mike Wallace
Kendrick Lewis
Cassius Vaughn
Ashlee Palmer
Emmanuel Stephens
Bradley Sowell
Shay Hodge
Marshay Green
Brandon Bolden
These may not be superstars, but all had a time in the league. They were all on the 2008 team that beat Florida that year.

Sorry some LSU fans are barbarians with no life. Many of us are not like that.

He has also been closely tied to known recruiting cheats, Carroll and Kiffin.

Not trying to flame and other saying Oeaux isn't a good recruiter but these just don't really mean much for him.
Miami was getting great players then no matter if O was on the staff or not. I would attribute their success to him.
Two words: Pete Carrol
O wasn't the secrete behind the success.
Hmm. Kiffin was the main reason, not O.
Seems like O has been the benefactor of being at the right place at the right time a few times in great era's for 2 programs and the attachments UT when they had a lot if buzz with Kiffin.
Again, not saying he isn't a good recruiter but I think the LSU fans are pushing this narrative to help ease the pain of hiring him as the HC. A moral victory in a way.
