2017 Recruiting Class & Early Enrollees

[Smokey49]

Evil? No. Butch isn't evil. Just is ok with some recruiting tactics I'd like to see him get away from.

As for guessing who gets a bump in the rankings, I wait. Seems it's always less getting a bump than expected.

But the point is...you don't really KNOW his tactics. You never know what conversations they had. But you assume...



I agree on the ratings thing. Butch don't give a **** there!

Not as sexy as we were all hoping it would be but still a very respectable class that could easily improve depending on how the season plays out.

That's would be a very successful class. Getting Smith, Gibbs, and Holloman, Hansard, and Chandler? I'd take that right now.

Which service are you using? I didn't think Smith or Gibbs were 5* on the composite rankings.

We'll probably cap it at 25 if we continue to miss on our top in-state recruits. We cut some kids free last year to allow a large haul of TN's unusually strong 2017 class. If we don't close strong, we could save some spots for opportunistic recruiting after NSD.

I believe they will have to clear 6-8 guys(maybe more) off the current roster to take around that 25 number.

Just how I think they'll end up ranked at the end.

 

[LA Vol]

Not sure where the roster count stands, but we have at least 15-20 non-scholarship players on it-- maybe a few more on academic scholarship. And we'll probably see a few more transfers. Don't think it will be a problem to make the numbers work.

Ah, ok.

Edited my last prediction. This would give us 258.25 points on 247 class calculator. That would be the 14th ranked class using last year's finish.

A total of 6 guys bumped up? 4 of the 3* to 4*, and the 2 5* from 4's. Am I seeing that right?

Yep that's my guess.
