Kelvin Joseph’s commitment to LSU over the weekend doesn’t just give the Tigers one of the nation’s most-prized safeties, it’s also an indication that the program is regaining the upper hand recruiting on home soil.
Barring any last-minute flips, Joseph’s commitment guarantees that the Tigers will sign at least eight of Louisiana’s top 10 recruits in the 2018 class, as rated by 24/7 Sports.
Until last year, the Tigers had brought in at least half of the state’s top 10 in every year of the 21st century. The Tigers often brought in seven or more of the state’s top 10.
