Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

*corrected with final AP ranking*

The number on the left is the weighted average recruiting class ranking over the past four years combined (2016-2019). I'm comparing this to the teams final AP ranking which is the second number. Going into the year Tennessee was the 17th most talented team.

1st most talented team Alabama*... Final ranking: 8th (*Lost QB)

2nd Georgia... 4th

3rd LSU... 1st

4th Oklahoma... 7th

5th Ohio State... 3rd

6th Florida... 6th

7th Auburn... 14th

8th Texas AM... Unranked

9th Texas... 25th

10th Clemson... 2nd

11th Penn State... 9th

12th Michigan... 18th

13th Oregon... 5th

14th Notre Dame... 12th

15th Florida State... Unranked

16th USC... Unranked

17th Tennessee... Unranked

Pruitt sent Osovet out on the road recruiting. I believe he's gonna be an on field coach for us this year, in some compacity.

I know this is a typo, but it should be an RF word.

With Aranda and Brady gone, let's see how good of a coach the old cajun really is.....

 

[Lane Train 4]

LSU will be lucky to win 7 games next year.

"What's the play call, Coach O? Nobody can understand what you are saying!"

 

[volatil]

Yeah poor LSU going to have a terrible time finding coordinators

 

[Aesius]

Coach O should just retire, lol. He will get a nice recruiting bump from that 15-0 season but he's already peaked. He's not gonna have those caliber coordinators + Burrow again.

Wow mass exodus for LSU the last few days!

Wouldn't the final coaches and AP polls be more accurate than the CFP?

Clemson beat OSU but OSU is ranked above them? That must be from before the games were played...

 

[Weezer]

I wouldn't write LSU off yet. Lot will depend on who O hires. And they still have some good players.

@Catbone... You've got the Week 15 CFP poll. It's from before bowl games were played.

Not a major impact, but some

F*ing cheaters.

Gotcha thanks

This Aaron Hernandez documentary took a turn real quick with this highschool QB. I was like

 

[pierce60]

Is LSU and Coach O going to be another Auburn 2012 situation? Chizik wins the title and within 2 years they’ve run him out of town because of bad coordinator hires.

 

[snowvols]

Chase Brice transferring. He has two years to play. I would think USF would be his choice with Jeff Scott there.

If we want to keep him.

He fits the job perfectly but so did Fulmer at Tennessee, and his coordinator hires were his downfall.

People speculating Georgia

We always focus on the bad hires and ignore the good ones. Good hires built him up before the bad hires took him down. If O makes good hires again, like he did previously with Aranda and Brady, he'll be fine. If not, he'll find himself in trouble. Just think it's premature to think his hires will be bad.

 

[butchna]

People speculating Georgia

Before they landed Newman, that would’ve made sense.

 

[butchna]

This is cool.

He’d leave a legend.
