While there was a bit of concern over LSU’s slow start to the 2023 recruiting class, those worries are a thing of the past as the calendar turns to August.
Tigers coach Brian Kelly picked up 11 commitments in the 2023 class — and three in 2024, to boot — during the month of July, enough to propel LSU’s group into the national top 10, according to 247Sports.
