A 13-0 season, a conference championship, a Heisman Trophy winner and a College Football Playoff appearance are all pretty good feathers in the cap of LSU and Ed Orgeron. But Coach O made his bones as one of the nation’s most relentless recruiters, and that’s paying off so far this cycle with a class that sits well in the top five of the 247 Sports composite rankings, and could be poised to compete for the No. 1 overall class if some things break right.
