The best way to determine about where we will end up when everyone has a full class is to look at the "Average Ranking" of the committed players. If everyone fills up, that will be the determining factor of the rankings. We are currently at 86.08. We will probably end up in the 25 to 30 range.
Before anyone complains about that, realize that it is not a good year for talent in Mississippi. We are signing the best and they are really good, but that is all we can do without expanding our footprint/reputation.

if we get that OL out of Cordova and that stud Mason safety out of AL, I think we could slip into the top 20. just a hunch though.

what's the story on Antonio Nelson? 10th ranked player out of AL, does that #4 say he's the 4th best CB in the country?

If we close like I think we can/will it will be a top 20 class.

Look at his rating. compare that to the high school class this year from Alabama. A good comparison is this kid: https://247sports.com/Player/Daniel-Beard-89703
That kid is a safety with similar rating. Long story short: no, being the number 5 corner in Juco is about equivalent to being the 100th best corner in high school. Typically a kid like that won't pick up many major D1 offers.

No it's because jucos don't normally get rated high. Guidry is the #2 rated juco in the country & his composite is a 91. It's just the way jucos are ranked.

He committed to UF out of high school. And if you want to only go by Juco rankings, Darrius Slay wasn't "rated" in the top 50.

To be clear: I'm not trying to knock the kid for his rating. I personally don't care. I was trying to draw a comparison for Bully13 to see why the kid doesn't have a ton of D1 offers.
The fact of the matter is that we should expect Juco kids to be rated less--their value to the team is normally less. They lose two years of eligibility and get worse coaching during that time. As in, less development. (Normally. Yes I understand that sometimes there are kids who aren't ready for D1.)
I promise you there isn't some international Illuminati in a smoky back room conspiring to artificially deflate recruiting rankings of Juco kids.

Spivey
Mason ( will take Jones spot)

Carvin ( might be sooner than later )
Nelson
And one more OL
And if we go 6 for 6 with that group we will make room . Don't worry about the numbers
One down. 5 to go
