Kids 100% look at recruiting rankings. They absolutely look at them and it can affect their decision. But it also hurts us from a media perspective. When they cover signing day and recruiting classes, the further down the list we are in rankings, the further out of the discussion we are. The fewer mentions we get on social media.

It's all cyclical. But it can and does mess with kids looking at where to go.
