We all knew this was going to happen. Bama signed Sims (4*) yesterday and squeaked by us. We have a very respectable 3.5 average star rating (with 24 recruits) but Bama has 3.68 with only with 19 recruits. The other teams with avg. star rankings currently higher than us are OSU, UGA (with a whopping 3.81 avg.!), ND, TAM, UF, Auburn, & S.Car. Also, LSU is tied with us at 3.5 but are in on several 5* and could wind up with the best recruiting class of everybody. Interestingly, Kiffen's class also is at 3.5 but USCw is currently ranked 51st! Finally, Clemson & Michigan are in on some big fish.
We could sign somebody this week and jump past Bama for a short while but, again, it will be short lived. Finishing at around #8 or #7 is terrific and at #5 would be unbelievable. More importantly, CBJ has filled key positions of need.
