Will state have a top 25 recruiting class?

[BayouDawg]

If we get Aj Brown, Kobe Jones, Simmons, and Lashley. And possibly Crowell, knott, and Davis.

[jumbo]

I think we end up in the 22-25 range

[Ifyouonlyknew]

I think we will.

If we got all of them, then absolutely.

Only if we have some prospects get some significant bumps in their ratings. We have well over half the class committed and we don't have a consensus 4 star yet. Eiland appears to be next in line to commit and he's not one either.

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't think we will because recruiting classes are ranked on your top 25 players & MSU will only sign 17 or 18 guys. Thus giving MSU 6 to 7 zeroes in their ranking.

This is another flaw of recruiting class rankings. Our ranking will probably be between 25 & 30, but our average star ranking will probably be in the top 20.

We will have consensus 4 stars though as they play their senior years. Per usual, many of our players are terribly underrated & will be 3 stars that become top 3 round NFL draft picks.

Remember though, and I can't stress this enough: IT'S ABOUT WINNING FOOTBALL GAMES!!!!

Sometimes I wonder if some fan bases want to win games so that they can recruit better rather than wanting to recruit better so that they can win games. I could care less what our recruiting ranking is, so long as we are running out a balanced roster with NFL players on the field. As ridiculous as this sounds, recruiting rankings don't always lead to that happening.

Not the way it works on 247. We had a total score of 239.02 with 28 commitments. The bottom 10 commitments add a total of 6.59 points to our score and our score would have been 232.41. Which would have been ranked 20th, instead of 18. 247 doesn't punish for small classes. The top players weigh the most for sure.

If we aren't in the top 25, it can only be blamed on Mullen inability to recruit***

They only do that formula on Scout.

that's a top fifteen class if we sign those guys. By signing day Simmons Brown and Davis may have earned a fifth star. And Ncaa gonna punish Tsun so we gonna need Room they ain't go have that many scholarships when it's over

[Bothrops]

Top 25 if we get Simmons and AJ. I think Thompson should be a consensus high 4* right now.

They will never give more than one guy from MS a 5th star. Heck, last year neither Peters, Lewis or Patterson could get a 5th star.

This^

I couldn't care less what the rankings are. ******* and company do their own evaluating and I trust them to get who they need.

[Thick]

What were we ranked last year?

[Coach34]

What were we ranked last year?

I think we finished 18th

[sleepy dawg]

If we win the national championship, that group would get us a top 15 in the recruit rankings. If we don't go to a bowl game, that group would get us in the top 50 in recruit rankings.
