In State Football Recruiting.

[Bandwagon King]

Per Rivals. Is Rivals not a good source? Some say On3 is not a good source. At least some Florida fans I read the other day.

What is the best source for these type of rankings?

Is that the same group that says Arch Manning is the number one player in the state & doesn't even Have Dewayne Winnfield listed in their top 100? I was in your corner until the lunch bunch grab. Like another poster stated, consider the source.

How many times are we going to go through this....some of these players, for whatever reason are not vetted by the various recruiting services...Most of that takes place between after a players Soph. or Jr. season. Coaches get the up close look at Jr. camps, Evaluate the player, etc. Some get offered then, others after a school does the entire vetting with coaches etc, visits, unofficial visits, showing up at HS to talk to a kid, etc. UL Coaches know how to evaluate talent, most posters on this board don't have a clue...would it be nice to see 3 Stars against each name, sure would be...Coaches have developed relationships with player and HS coach...RP posters, not so much...I'll go to war with the 27 we have signed...Have some faith...

Does the bookstore have D’Wayne lunch boxes available for purchase yet?

Thank you.

Again, without Southern Miss, JMU, Marshall and ODU in the fold too.

On3 composite rankings INCLUDES those 4. Composite rankings includes ESPN, 247, Rivals and on3. Some were not vetted as Soph/Jr by these 4 and NOT ranked as UL has no one affiliated....therefore ZERO political influence with any of these to make it happen.

All that's needed is just a few minutes of research to educate yourself.

The conversation was around Louisiana’s recruiting rankings in the SBC under Billy Napier. Those schools weren’t in the SBC at that time of signing.

On3 has drop down to compare UL rankings vs those 4 pre Sun Belt. Just a few minutes research.

IMO a follow up recruiting ranking needed. Some signed never actually show up. A true final ranking should be vetted with those actually on the fall roster. An example.....last year LTURd signed a very highly regarded RB from TX. Easily their #1 recruit and being highly ranked had a tangible impact on their team rankings. He never set foot on campus.....went Juco.

I get that. But T, Big Poppa and myself are discussing SBC rankings at the time of signing. That is a cool feature though.

It's not the only way, but just look at who is offering the player. If we are the only FBS, or only lower tier FBS, then there is reason to have some concern. Those other schools that have much bigger budgets are combing through the talent also. Most of them have someone on their staff that is familiar with Louisiana High Schools.
With Napier, we were consistently beating out many of our piers, plus several P5's. This year, we have a few of those, but not many.

So true.

The ranking that would be most insightful and a true measure of the class would be a re-ranking, 4 years later.

That info would be The Truth.
