How does Tenn have a better class than us?

signing day is important

however Vandy showed that one transfer portal QB can cancel out 5 years of recruiting rankings

I was surprised by that as well.

Because recruiting rankings are about stars and numbers while football teams are about starters and depth and results.

Half their recruiting class is really good (2) 5*, (14) 4*s. Then they have (11) 3 stars.

We have (1) 5*, (23) 4*s, but only (2) 3*s. One being a kicker.

We're a much better quality class top to bottom. It's why our class average ranking is #5 (92.10) overall and Tenn is way down at #10 at (91.51 average)

It's subjective. But in theory our 24 blue chippers to their 16 should be a more complete class and go lot farther in as a core to a team down the road.

Only LSU and Bama had higher class rankings based on average. With LSU only having 14 players sign so far. It's a really top end class, just only half of one.

Bama is Bama.

One could argue we have the 3rd best SEC class and continue to stack very similar quality top 10 classes to continue to build. And then there is the transfer portal which we've done a great job of as well.

7 recruits remained unsigned... for LSU.

All 4-stars and 5-stars and 6 out of 7 are defensive players.

They must not like to rest on the grass when they're getting their butts run over.

So this guarantees they with us a year?

Not necessarily

I used to buy into RC Slocum's BS (and later Coach Fran) on NSD when like a Tsunami the Sooners and the whorns began to dominate recruiting over us (and everyone else for that matter) - it hit the CF world like a freaking Tsunami.

And then we "stole" Alabama's coach. And spent the next 20 years wandering in the deserts of West Texas.

And then Jimbo pulls in a couple of "#1" Classes. And completely craters and suddenly can't field a winning team worth a gosh darn.

Let's hope it Really Really REALLY "Ain't gonna be like it used to be", Aggies!

BTHOND!!!!!


TTT -96

Are Jorrie Adams and Erick Mayes still available?
