GFW, sorry if already asked, but where do you see the 2017 class ranking when it's all said and done? Top 10 still a good possibility?
 
I must admit that the fault in my proposition is not immediately apparent to me. Perhaps you could help me see it, or should your incredulity be sufficient for me to reconsider my position?

It's really sad that you have to have this explained to you.

Your theory would be valid if the player in question was a current Baylor player. He would have been exposed to the program and therefore would be damaged goods. This is a high school kid that hasn't been on their campus for more than a weekend, hasn't been around the players and staff, hasn't been coached by Baylor staff (the same staff that the PH report found culpable), etc. He's just like any other high schooler in the country who's done nothing wrong. Are you saying we shouldn't be taking those types of recruits? ones that have done nothing wrong...

Hope that helps. Congrats on the thesaurus use.

I agree with you that he isn't tainted by the program so I'm making no indictment of his character. The problem, to me, is the timing of the situation. I just believe the media would view it as an opportunity to draw parallels between our programs. As an aside, I don't need a thesaurus.

Aren't they already doing that?
 
There's very very slim chance we don't get a top 10 class if we get to ATL imo

I think we'd be approaching top 5 with an ATL appearance, especially if we follow it up with a win there or a win in the Sugar Bowl or something.

Then our class average over 4 years is top 10 and we'd be set up to be competitive year in and year out.

Would be 20 years since we've had such consistently strong recruiting. Fulmer recruited strong in the 2000s but would follow up a great class with a very mediocre one.
