How is your team's recruiting class looking?

Not too shabby. I wasn't really sure what to expect but Strong appears to have done well. One 5 star and 14 four star recruits. The defense should remain stout. QB is still a serious concern. I don't buy Kai Locksley as a QB at all. He might make an excellent WR, though.

The stars and rankings should be assigned after these kids are done playing, but I guess the recruiting services wouldn't sell subscriptions that way.

The only ranking of recruiting classes that matter are the ones done 5 years after the fact.

2 more years of recruiting like that and the Trojans should be back to full strength.

Happy with this class...though Mora's buddies probably should've sat on this Ulbrich to the nfl long enough to get Roquan Smith's signature....Getting the #1 QB, #1 TE, and #1 RB nationally doesn't really suck and should continue our dominance of the other Suc.

Well no shit. Look, it's down time right now with interest in the NBA and NHL not even scratching the surface of interest in american football. The mothership network curbs simpletons like schimck into thinking this shit means something.MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:The stars and rankings should be assigned after these kids are done playing, but I guess the recruiting services wouldn't sell subscriptions that way.
Similar to what you said about Bell, Case Keenum was barely a two star recruit out of high school and UofH was the only school to offer him a scholarship. He now owns several passing records in the NCAA and he's had a cup of coffee now in the NFL. Nobody knew who this kid was until he thrived in Briles and Sumlin's system.

I talked to someone in the recruiting business before, and he said the main difference between a 5-star and a 4-star is the 5-star's ability to make an immediate impact, and even then, there's no guarantee that will happen (obviously). The difference between a 4-star and a 3-star has to do with NFL, not college, potential. He said there is basically no tangible difference between a 3-star who comes in at .88 and a 4-star who comes in at .89, except fans will feel like they struck out if they "settled" for the 3-star. The difference in potential between those two players will largely be decided on their own work ethic, and what their coaches will be able to get out of them, as well as a host of other variables.
Re: How is your team's recruiting class looking?
Most services had Mariota as a 3 star, a couple of them had him a 2.
And Jeff Driskel was #1 overall.
But as to the topic -- Ducks did pretty well. Got an absolute monster OL, and a beast of a DE. Filled needs pretty well across the board.

How many 5 stars make it to the NFL, let alone start? Most overhyped day in college football...
Go Bucs, Gators

I don't know. Do you? Why don't you do some research and get back to us.Bucmonkey wrote:How many 5 stars make it to the NFL, let alone start?

Re: How is your team's recruiting class looking?
24th rated class with only 20 players in a coaching transition year... pretty impressed with what Mike Riley's doing. I like his thinking when he said, "We didn't have too many 5 stars at Oregon State but we graduated a lot of them" <---- Riley has proven he can recruit and develop players well.
I think he will do great things with the budget and facilities he lacked before. Next years class should be Nebraska's best in years with Riley and staff having a whole year to build off the great strides they've taken in such a short time and with a class of 25 to 30 players next year.

Hate to burst your bubble on your honeymoon, but Riley is a horrifically bad recruiter. Well known for it. Sure, he didn't have Nebraska's pull, but he was a train wreck at recruiting.H4ever wrote:Riley has proven he can recruit and develop players well.
But he does develop players extremely well.
And he WILL find and develop a top-notch QB -- it's what he does. It's the one thing you can count on with Riley.

Re: How is your team's recruiting class looking?
Well, collectively with his staff they did pretty good on a coaching transition year. With a couple of great WR's in this class, I hope he does develop somebody.... and soon Not one QB in this year's class which kinda sucks but it could be sign that Riley passed over the leftover scraps in this years class at such a key position that he develops well.Dinsdale wrote:Hate to burst your bubble on your honeymoon, but Riley is a horrifically bad recruiter.

Re: How is your team's recruiting class looking?
Gladly, Sam! Especially with RIley's reputation on developing them. Which begs the question: Why do so many 5 star kids congregate at one school in the same position? If I were a 4 or 5 star QB, I'd prob select a school with less risk of riding pine and a proven coaching staff at the position. Maybe some kids really believe they are the greatest and can beat out anyone.... I dunno. I'd shoot for quicker exposure and more reps right away.Sudden Sam wrote:Grab one of Bama's.

If they're "overloaded with 'em," why did they roll out a shitty one this season?
