Voted 6-10, I'm hoping that our staff is good at identify talent. If that's the case then the high ranked guys will remain high ranked, and some of the lesser 3 stars kids will get bumps.

To have 2 5 stars at this stage with everything that's happened here in the last 2-3 years though speaks volumes about staff imo.

I voted hopefully 6 - 10. The main problem is we have 10 - 3 stars already out of our total 18 commitments. If you look at the schools just behind us, they have, except for Ark., far fewer 3 stars as a percentage of their totals. Now, if we keep adding mostly 4 stars from now to the end, we have, at least a shot, to finish Top 5. A lot of people hate on stars, but they also want to finish Top 5 - 10 in the country most years. Fortunately or unfortunately, the only way to rate highly is with star power. I realize that there have been multiple cases of a 3 star turning into a Top 10 NFL pick, but statistically, you have to sign a majority of 4 and 5 stars every year rate highly.

A few things:
After it's all said and done
Nico will be the #1 Overall player in America.
Seldon will play a full season and put up ridiculous #s because he's been training hard. Bigger and faster.

And something tells me, we're going to sign another 5 star playmaker on offense.

This clas will be firmly Top 10. I think #5

While I agree that Nico is the best high school player in the country, I don't think he will ever obtain that ranking. Too political.

Just outside of the top 10 . . . 4th or 5th in the SEC.

A great class considering where the program has been recently.

I don’t really follow recruiting much but how to you have two 5* and finish outside the top 10?

Too many lower rated guys - low-mid 3 stahs for instance.

Ultimately it's about quality across the board. I still think we have a 60-70%+ chance of finishing top 10. This is an odd year without the usual 25-limit, so there's a lot of unknown. Some of it also depends on closing the class with 4s vs 3s. Hard to say because it feels like the remaining board is sort of cloudy at this point and not sure how many studs we are in on remaining.

Our average is currently top 10 quality, if not top 6. The secret is keeping it that high quality when you're finishing the class. As usual, there will be some surprise, out of nowhere guys right at NSD/ESD like Tyre West and Crouch, etc.

There's currently 7-8 teams whose quality looks a step above ours. Our fight for #8-#10 is likely what it will come down to, barring big surprises.

Long ways to go. So far so good.

Need to hope our 3*'s get a decent ratings bump getting some of the their 4th *!

We might close a little ground with the guys we already have. We have a number of 3 stars that might add a star with the notoriety of an SEC commitment and excelling from the git go this season. Four stars do not have as much upward mobility. Those playing in big time HS leagues in front of service guys will have the best chance, especially if going head to head with guys already star blessed. There are a few I have my eye on, one toward the lower end of our ranked lists. Several of our GA guys for sure.

Wish I had a clue about how many the staff is planning on signing. I also wonder if they might be holding some spots for the portal that will cut down our signing days totals. Gonna be fun to watch if that is the case due to the high volume of dooms day guys professing ineptitude. Eyerolls aplenty.
