I thought it would be interesting to take a look at Bo's first recruiting class, not only as an indication of our staff's ability to evaluate talent but also as a way to evaluate and predict several key contributors to our 2010-2012 teams. 2008 Class Overview 28 total members = 2 from the...

About what I expected: Team rankings

2007 27 total members = 6 from the junior college ranks (22%) and 21 from high school (78%) Rivals team ranking = 13th Rivals average stars = 3.33 Scout team ranking = 21st Scout average stars = 3.22 Players with major offers according to Rivals: 8 (30%) Jaivorio Burkes - Michigan...

I might do more of these if anyone is interested (or I might even if you're not). Obviously the writeups and categorization of players is entirely subjective. Feel free to offer up your own opinions. 2006 22 total members = 7 from the junior college ranks (32%) and 15 from high school (68%)...

I don't understand Rivals rankings. The very base measure of a recruit is the stars. Now one would assume that a 4-star is twice as likely as a 2-star of finding success on the field, given basic mathematics. Now Rivals throws out their numerical ratings. The highest rated 2 star is given a...

For two years in a row, our staff has targeted a low rated, not highly sought after cornerback from California fairly early in the recruiting process. Aaryn Bouzos initial Rivals rating is a 5.4 2-star. This was the same for Joshua Mitchell last year (even though he was later upgraded to a 5.6...

If you guys haven't seen LSUfreek's other work, you should check it out.

Frank the Tank and Greenstien are hearing Notre Dame, Nebraska, and Missouri by Wednesday. A very reliable poster over at HI hints that those in the know on our side are hearing the same things.

The last 6 national champions and the Rivals team ranking of the five classes that made up their roster for that year are as follows: 2004 - USC (16, 10, 13, 3, 1) 2005 - Texas (6, 1, 15, 10, 20) 2006 - Florida (20, 2, 7, 15, 2) 2007 - LSU (1, 2, 22, 7, 4) 2008 - Florida (7, 15, 2, 1, 3)...

From 2002-2007, Rivals shows our 10 best recruits according to their rankings were: 1. Marlon Lucky 2. Zackary Bowman 3. Andre Jones 4. DeMorrio Williams 5. Ndamukong Suh 6. Leon Jackson 7. Kenny Wilson (projected as a 6.0) 8. Niles Paul 9. Lydon Murtha 10. Any number of guys...

So what game(s) are you playing? What do you think about them? This is the topic to post your thoughts. I apologize if there is already a topic like this, but I didn't see it. I'm currently playing Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360, an old school JRPG. I'm on the 4th and final disc, but I'm not...

Out of curiousity, I decided to take a closer look at how the teams in what may be our new conference have recruited during the Pelini era. For reference sake, I've included Nebraska in the rankings so that you can see how they compare. Just like the Big XII, it appears that on paper, Nebraska...

*Based on information from Rivals: 1. Sam Bradford - Oklahoma 5.7-3*, #12 pro-style QB. Other listed BCS offers: Iowa State, Texas A&M, Texas Tech 2. Ndamukong Suh - Nebraska 6.0-4*, #6 defensive tackle. Other listed BCS offers: California, Miami, Mississippi State, Oregon State...

I know it is super early and stars and rankings aren't out yet, but I took a peak at all of the North schools commitment lists for 2011. I broke them down by BCS school offers, and here are the results: Colorado 2 commits 0 BCS offers Iowa State 0 commits Kansas 2 commits Offers: Iowa...
