And LSU is No.16 on rivals ??? !!! Damn.... what happened there??
rivals doesn't count just stars, this is where their number and points system kicks in: LSU has 9 kids that are rated 5.8 (which seems to be the minimum number for 4 star recruits), we have 7 kids rated 5.8, 2 at 5.9, 1 at 6.0 (Patterson, who I was not expecting us to get) by comparison, alabama, which is at number 1 in rivals' rankings, has 14 kids who are rated 5.8 or better...
THAT said, I have no idea why LSU's class seems to be rather lacking, considering the season they had.
