I agree but there is no way most LSU fans or myself (or most ND fans) thought BK would be able to do what he has done. Getting Harold Perkins to flop from A&M in a 3-4 weeks is an accomplishment. Maintaining the LSU recruits while LSU’s coaches were lame ducks after Orgeron’s dumbass was fired is an accomplishment. Now much of that is the Loyalty that Louisiana kids have to Louisiana. No doubt. Anyway I think both ND and LSU did well considering Coaching turnover.

OK

I am not mad just stating facts. I have not been ugly to anyone. I simply put up 247 rankings and had some say it was irrelevant which it isn’t. That is not mad. Simply factual. I think Brian Kelly did a great job in a very challenging situation and timeline. If some don’t for whatever reason that is their opinion but LSU is still #6 overall and it was a good job by BK. Simple as that.

Joe Montana in the last 2 minutes was deadly. Until Tom Brady came along there was no comparison. I still am in the Montana camp.

For ND it is Joe Montana. Hands down. For LSU it was Patrick Peterson but now Joe Burrow has edged ahead.

Believe it or not I am a fan of both LSU and ND. They are my two favorite college teams. I am also a realist and acknowledging what Brian Kelly has done in such a short time. It is a hell of a job. You can disagree but acting like recruiting the Portal doesn’t matter is simply naive. You can disagree but they are still #6 in 247 overall recruiting because 247 knows it matters.

Well portal matters. You can’t act like it isn’t part of every class on the country. Do you think Caleb Williams going to USC doesn’t matter because he was in the Portal? It is part of recruiting nowdays. Period.

LSU is #6

I don’t know who Elder is but I stand by what I said and 247 does as well. In today’s recruiting you can’t ignore Portal recruiting. This is why there is an overall combined ranking. LSU is #6 and ND is #8. Fact.

He had to hit the portal for depth reasons and did it. He landed a 4 star DB and a 5 star LB yesterday and my friend recruiting the Portal now matters whether you realize it or not. He did all this in 2 months with a new staff and 3 weeks of dead period. You can hate him but he also recruited most of ND’s class as well. The man put together the 6th best overall class in the country and believe it or not Portal players count and will be playing. Deal with it.

LSU is #6 overall according to 247’s combined High School/Portal classes. ND finished #8 overall. Kelly has been at LSU for two months, had to hire his entire staff, solidify LSU’s commitments, and do it with several weeks of dead period and Bama, A&M, UGA, etc breathing down his neck. Whether you like him or not that is a remarkable job. https://247sports.com/Season/2022-Football/OverallTeamRankings/
