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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Those are JUCO rankings, only comparing him to other JUCO players.Quote:

Spivey to the good guys per 247
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.Quote:

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.
One down. 5 to goQuote:

I don't have any inside info on any of this (Ari has been good in his posts over the past few pages though), but just thought I'd mention how our class would look if all of these guys came true (minus the mystery croot, whoever that is). We'd sit at a 223.83 overall composite score, which would put as the #24 overall class by last year's rankings, same spot as last year, with an almost identical class score. Some other notes though:Quote:

- The class would be about average at #24 overall... I'd love to see us improve to top 20 regularly. But, this class would have to be considered an enormous win because it would probably be our best OL and WR class under Mullen--positions we desperately have underrecruited.
- I think it sets us up well with the 2019 class.
It would also be a huge win because it looks like we're going to essentially sweep the state.Quote:

thoughts? he's a high school corner with offers from UGA , Oregon & Tenn. how often in recent memory have we been signing guys like that in the secondary?Quote:

Since it's been put out there now...the mystery OL is this guy

Just have to lock him upQuote:

He's not content with just protecting his offensive guy with the ball, he likes to get into the heads of the defensive people. would LOVE to have this guy.Quote:
