ESPNU Rates The U's Current Recruiting Class #4

Its not the Ranking that matters to me. Its the kids we get. Although the star system is real, wether you like it or not. The kids follow it and for some reason are all caught up in being part of highly ranked classes. So it gets easier to recruit when you've recruited well, as backwards as that sounds. Its easier to sell a kid on coming in with a top 10 class and hopping on before spots are filled.

We got Kaaya, Yearby, Langham, a NASTY OL, CT 99 Valentine, Owens, and Bethel who I am confindent in all that they are strong starters at the least. Thats what I care about. I don't care about the stars and I don't care who we didn't get. I'm stoked as **** on this top 5 class, and rightfully so. Its chock full of nasty, and theres still some blue chip guys we are in on.

only ranking that matters is at the end of the year. Recruiting rankings were created to give jobs to guys who could never play and provide fans with discussion content during the off season.

IMO..they are meaningless...Shannon had the #1 class

Lets just win, I dont care if it with a top 5 class or a top 50 class as long as we win!!!!

Not only did RS have a number #1 class but the best class UM ever had on paper, Ericksons #1 class, was literally the worst recruiting class miami had in the modern era. Complete waste.

Stars!!!!!!

Had Vt gotten top 5 classes they would be competing for the NC and not just the ACC. Rankings aren't everything but do matter.

Agreed. Bama sure does well with top classes. They get the top guys and can continue to develop them.
