Rivals.com Rankings

Scout has the UL class ranked at 108 and they are credited with two 3 star recruits. ULM is 109 and they have the same exact star average as UL, but signed one less player.

I think Butler may add MSU, Colorado, Tulsa, and Tulane to your list, not sure if Southern Miss offered him, but it seems that he was offered an official visit there. Some players are less public about their recruiting...

Also, here's an interesting article that argues why you should give credence to the star system. Depending on how you skew your statistics, I'm sure you can make an arguement for either side.

_ I am not going to be specific out of respect. But give me a break. UL was the only D1 offer for Several of them according to your own website. I don't count "schools of interest".

You aren't going to be specific because you have no basis for your point. Our website also didn't have us offering Aaron Spikes, Jarad Martin, Daniel Quave and countless others until they either visited or visited other places. You can't base your opinion or unfounded argument on what a website has published since this process changes daily.

I have a user name that also identifies my allegiance with an uppity part of Lafayette that wants it's own zip code because we're so much better than anyone else.

LOL River Ranch....

Dude, if you're gonna hate, you have to bring it stronger than that.

_WKU was supposed to have a 4 star QB who was interestingly dropped to a 2 star on Scout when he signed. _

Funny how that works.

Thanks for the info. Proves my point that comparing the offers recruits have is telling about the quality of the class. Yet, I am the bad guy for making that observation. I think the UL & Tech classes are the difference between the Sunbelt & WAC.

It would take a while for someone to teach you the value system associated with the rankings and how they are derived. Also, these "stars" one gets seem to automatically diminish when someone commits to a UL over a Memphis or even larger BCS school. If you understood how the star system was ranked and supplied to each prospect, you'd understand more fully that this is certainly a flawed system when talking about schools on the lower D-1 level.

Not sure where that came from, but I never made that statement.
