They got 21 last year. If they only get 20 on campus this year that puts them at 41 players over 2 years.
So let?s encourage this get people committed that won?t make it to campus. It?s a sure fire way to kill your program.
I think their plan is simple. Get lots of commits, even if they won't qualify. For instance, they are now touting that their recruiting class is ranked #2 nationally. They believe the ranking helps the recruiting momentum. They may wind up with 30-35 commits. Then you back off last minute and only sign the allowed 25 that can get in. While the recruiting class might end up ranked #42, they will have enjoyed the months in the top 10, and will have tried to use that top 10 ranking in their recruiting pitches.
This is going to be a bumpy ride, with people melting about every twitter post, every commit and decommit, etc. Just relax and watch and it will all be fine. Our class will be far superior to the Ole Miss class.
Yancy is already touting "the current #2 class in the nation". Anybody who follows this stuff knows that recruiting rankings are bullcrap at this point, because 10 commits that are 2 stars will outrank 2 commits that are 5 stars. It's in the numbers.
As of this moment, Miami of Ohio has a class ranked higher than Ohio State. That's because Miami of Ohio has 8 recruits (average 79.32) and Ohio State has 3 recruits (average 93.34). We know it won't stay that way.

Jerrion Ealy and Black are both unlikely to ever play for OM. They are their top 2 commits right now.

Jerrion Ealy won't play for OM unless he quits baseball.

Hmmm. I know you don't want to hear this, but I'm not sure he's that good at baseball.
I honestly see another Senquez Golson situation

This is pretty funny.
Honestly, while it's clearly smoke & mirrors with 12 commits & an average rating of 87, it was a pretty good idea by them to create buzz & attempt to bring credibility to an uncredible situation. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out in the end.

From Nafoom:
"Nice work, preachermatt...Black is now aware that you've been flapping your gums about his grades on ED. You might delete your post, but screenshots never die."

Massive difference between being good at baseball and getting 1.5+ million in the draft.
That being said, you may be right. It’s just no as slam of a dunk as some want to believe.

And Yancy flapped his gums. The double standard being applied here is ridiculous.

Look, I don't care what Yancy or Nafoom says. Whatever those things are, Diwun Black didn't quote them. At the end of the day, Diwun quoted preachermatt (and a few others) talking trash about him. That's absolutely unacceptable and makes us look like trash.
Below is the tweet that Diwun quoted.

Yeah, this is pretty egregious, and I definitely made a point to call him on it when he posted it.

Not sure why Preach is getting slammed while fancy gets a pass though. fancy said he'd need to get his GED then go Juco not too long back. that would indeed be a "special" H.S. degree.
