If Alabama doesn't get any more commits (which we know they will), the next 4-star commit we get should jump us ahead of them.

You know what? Chicken butt.
Is there a list somewhere if the early enrolling players? Or, better yet maybe this could be added to the sticky '17 verbal class list?

I've conceded months ago that we wouldn't have the #1 class, and everyone knows it's due to our overall numbers. That average recruit ranki is what has me smiling daily. Not a chance any team comes close to us there

Their insistence of quantity over quality will always favor the southern schools that routinely sign 25+ kids every year. I've always believed the true recruiting champ is the team with the highest rating average. Personally I think it's pretty dumb the way they do it. We'd easily have the top class if they were judging by what really matters. But I couldn't care less about a recruiting national champ. It's decided on the field, not paper. Ironically Bama has been winning both for years now lol

Kind of ballsy from the Michigan fan, if true, given that most "blue chip recruits" could probably beat the hell out of 99% of fans.
I'm not sure it's ironic since there is certainly a good amount of direct cause-and-effect relationship between the two. Which is why, while I agree it doesn't really matter whether OSU finishes #1 or #3 in the final "recruiting rankings", I'm glad they're in that cluster.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just sayin': The star rating from recruiting sites do not guarantee that is how they will perform once signed and "in camp". I'm sure that in many cases the coaches see more potential in some 3 or 4 star recruits than they do in some 5 star recruits and recruit accordingly.

Of course, but my point is why sell ourselves short and settle for 3 star projects like a Sparty or Iowa when we have the interest of the nation's best prospects. I think the DT consternation is unwarranted at this point, even if we don't get Wilson or Tufele.

I was specifically referring to being the number one class. I was tired of typing lol Of course results in recruiting and on-field success is directly proportional. So finishing in the top five or ten definitely matters. My point is the way the "recruiting national champ" is decided favors large classes over smaller ones.
