Orgeron and his staff — Busch being one of his best recruiters — are getting good players, according to the industry standards.

LSU’s 2019 recruiting class was ranked No. 5 nationally by 247Sports.com. The website ranks LSU’s 2020 class No. 3 despite the fact it isn’t a deep year for talent in Louisiana (only seven of the Tigers’ 22 commitments are from in state).

Rivals.com actually ranks LSU’s class No. 1, though that’s partly because the purple-and-gold Tigers have three more commitments than the Clemson Tigers.
