To be honest, who cares what OM’s recruiting rankings are as long as we take care of ours?

We need to care what every sec west team and Kentucky's are imo

I disagree. I care about their results on the field.

Ok, we lost to all but 1 of the teams in that group this season. Ironically, the one we beat beat the hell out of us recruiting wise.

Looks like Price is taking the RB spot and Hunter wanting to wait till February is out of a spot.

Coach Spurrier with an interesting tweet.

If ?we? are honest, what ?we? do doesn?t make one damn difference

Price is better. Not sure how long Hunter took has anything to do with it

Price has better feet, is a smoother runner, & clearly more fluid & explosive.

Hunter is a thumper with good strength & a nose for physicality. Not as fluid or as good of burst as Price though.

MS AL Game is on right now. Can watch it for free at FNUTL.com. Ty Cooper is pretty darn good, y’all. Should be ranked higher. He is a bigger recruit than I thought.

He has a great frame. His wingspan is a major asset for him.

And that’s why most people thought Hunters best spot long term was safety

What are our odds on reeling him in? Amazes me how we seem to consistently struggle with every big recruit out of Louisville given the proximity to MSU.

We are in great shape.

If he signs Wednesday, Dawg

Auburn currently has 12 commits, and they have no coach. Should we and OM be concerned if freeze gets hired at auburn that he tries to raid us two to fill in a class? Assuming it is freeze, he might go hard on the transfer circuit this cycle though.

Playing around with the class calculator, if we finish with the 7 we're supposed to finish with (Harmon, Price, Cooper, Anderson, Perkins, Johnson, and Boone/OL with similar ranking), we'll finish with a composite score of around 218. If you apply that to the last 4 years and get an average, it'll put us around 27th. Not fantastic, but certainly acceptable with it being this staff's first year in the SEC. The knock on them was that they wouldn't be able to recruit, and so far, that's simply just not true.

However, if we want to actually start taking steps forward as a program, we need to move forward with the goal in mind of having top 25 classes year in and year out. That's not totally unrealistic. That's essentially 1-2 more 4 star players and 1-2 less low-3 star players. Looking back over the last 4 years, the 25th ranked class averaged around 226. So that number and up should be our target next year, with a strong in-state class seemingly on the way.

Most of our guys are signing in two days, so unless they hire him and he gets to work ASAP, I don't think we'll have to worry about Freeze too much this year.

27 is solid imo. I'll be pretty happy if leach pulls that off bc I expected more 35-40 with his recruiting reputation.
