I believe the article said for in-state recruiting. La Tech received an A+. LSU rated only an A but yet had a top 3 class nationally according to many polls on recruiting. Go figure. I seriously doubt Tech recruited better La. talent than LSU. Sportswriters and their rankings and polls are about like 'roids, they are mostly irritating and won't go away!
The article in Louisiana Football Magazine took into account each school's entire recruiting class, both in-state and out-of-state. The letter grade was given relative to each school's level of play and expectations. It's not an apples to apples comparison. The actual numerical ranking (i.e. 1-12) is an apples to apples comparison, that's why LSU was ranked number one over us and La Tech even though we had a higher letter grade.
But like I've said before, recruiting rankings have no significance other than to provide message board fodder.
