that's not realistic....but i get what you're saying. the game gets played both ways, but in the end, very few prospects have any real leverage. that i agree with.

Yea I’m not sure there is a realistic away to ever police it or try to clean it up. Maybe if offers had like an expiration date or something where a player and school has a certain amount of time to accept both ways. Idk. Just a really sketchy weird deal going on now

well, if there's good news, everyone that participates in the process knows what's up....and the only real lesson to learn for coaches and players....always keep your options open.

Who posted that pic showing team wins in the last four years of the top recruiting classes? Anyone know what I'm talking about and where that was posted?

Just wanna give this class a little perspective - just checked Rivals and we are currently 12th, behind the below teams

Clemson, OSU, LSU, bama, A&M, Georgia, Fla, Barn, Okla, Oregon and Michigan

Here is a list with each teams wins the past 5 years and their playoff appearances. Amazing to me we can even try and justify being disappointed in fringe top 10 classes at this point...

Basically, us and A&M are the only teams not to win at least 10 games in a season (and they recruit Texas with a big name coach) Oregon and Florida are the only other teams that had a single season with less than 7 wins and Oregon was in the playoffs in the 14/15 season.

we all get excited about recruiting rankings, right? well here we are after ESD...and on Rivals, we're inside the top 10...

but somone tell me what, real discernable differences there really are between these classes?

anyway, not really any point to this except to say i think this class is pretty damn good.

We are right there with Florida again this year. We did better last year due to them losing a ton of recruits, so if you ask me we are at least right there with Florida if not better the last two recruiting classes.

We are a Five Star away from jumping to 7th.

Not much difference, but if we can add guys like Washington, Hardy, Bechwith ext... that would put us solidly in the top 10 on Rivals and possibly 10-12 range on 247. I have no idea why we are so low on ESPN.

i think ESPN only ranks based on it's top 300?

either way. i don't necessarily care. 15 on 247, 10 on Rivals. we're in there somewhere, and look to have a class, and a roster that should compare somewhat favorably with teams 4-6 in the SEC. the top 3 are on a different planet talent wise. but that middle tier, i'd say we've successfully moved ourselves back in it....or are well on our way.

Yup. Tiers not individual rankings. We are where we need to be. Good coaching can do the rest
