Tech could end with top-ranked class in C-USA

Harry · February 3, 2015

It’s nice to be ranked,” Tech coach Skip Holtz said. “I think you can kind of look of who’s in the top three or four and who’s in the bottom three or four, but whether you’re one or two or two or three, some of that is more for the fan base to get excited about the recruiting process.”

Rivals.com has Louisiana Tech ranked the highest of the major recruiting sites at No. 74 overall and second in Conference USA by a slim margin behind Florida Atlantic, which already has 26 commitments.

Tech has 22 commitments and will look to add a few more to get up to 25.

247sports.com has Tech at No. 80 and third in C-USA behind Florida Atlantic and Marshall. Scout.com has Tech at No. 89 and fourth behind Florida Atlantic, Marshall and Western Kentucky.

In terms of statewide rankings, Tech is as high as No. 2 behind LSU on Rivals.com. Scout.com has Tech 10 spots behind UL Lafayette while 247sports.com has the Bulldogs three spots behind the Cajuns.

“We’ve done very well in the state,” Holtz said. “A lot of the targets that we’ve had that we’ve been able to go on I feel really good about.”
