The 2010 recruiting class for LSU showcased a blend of high expectations and significant outcomes, particularly among lower-ranked recruits. The class originally ranked 5th, indicating a strong recruiting effort. However, the S2S rerank to 11 suggests that while the overall talent level was recognized, the performance did not align with initial projections.
The presence of multiple hits, such as Tyrann Mathieu and Alfred Blue, illustrates the program's ability to develop talent, especially among those who were not initially highly ranked. These players achieved high outcomes, demonstrating that LSU's coaching staff effectively harnessed their potential. In contrast, the class also featured a notable miss in Zach Lee, who was expected to perform better given his original ranking, ultimately contributing to a lower overall class performance than anticipated.
Overall, the LSU 2010 recruiting class met expectations despite the S2S rerank moving down. The presence of several hits indicates successful development of lower-ranked players, while the single miss reflects a failure to realize the potential of a higher-ranked recruit. This class serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of recruiting outcomes, where both high and low-ranked players can significantly impact a program's success.
