Best Recruiting Class Since?

[SUFan44]

Including the two transfers, when was the last time we had a recruiting class like this?

Two 4-stars from NY, two 4-star transfers, another 4-star WR from DC, plus a host of others with P5 offers.

Amazing what this staff has done - can’t wait to see how it does with success on the field.

Here are the recruiting grades, from 2000, on. Without the transfers, we're at 85, and the lowest graded recruits are better than 15 years of averages... Add the 4 star transfers? Yeah. Pretty darn good.

2000: .719
2001: .715
2003: .79
2004: .77
2005: .79
2006: .79
2007: .81
2008: .80
2008: .80
2009: .80
2010: .82
2011: .80
2012: .81
2013: .81
2014: .82
2015: .82

Probably not since the 80s, I’d guess

I would guess early or mid '90's.

What's Gigem? I know what gingham is, (thank you Little House on the Prairie), but not "Gigem"

Texas A&M.

Gig 'em Aggies.

Gig 'em Aggies.

Must be a Texas colloquialism. I don't hear a lot of "Gig 'em" in Jersey. And what, may I ask, does it mean to "Gig" someone? I'm familiar with gig as a noun, not a verb. Does it mean, like "get him" or something like that?

Aggie Terminology | Aggie Traditions

I just looked it up. Weird. I guess college sports is full of strange traditions. Although, back in earlier times, a win over Texas would get the Aggies a trip to the Chicken Ranch. As a college football player, that's a tradition I could get behind, so to speak.

Since Babers says we are Ohana I would like to have the team do the Haka.

Guess you weren't around when we played them in the hoops NCAAs, GMac's "10 $&%-ing games year". Their cheerleaders had LED necklace/signs that said Gig'em Aggies. Kinda weird.

I wish the Orange students would adopt a few traditions other than leaving at halftime.

I was around, just don't recall seeing it.

They have the "Not showing up at all" tradition. That seems pretty popular these days amongst the students.

A family member of mine married into an Aggie family. Sometimes it seems you can’t make a reference to your college years or college football without them bringing up another one of their traditions. I’m not sure if it’s awesome or a bizarre cult.

 

[SUFan44]

Not sure what the point of this was. I think everyone here knows we don't have a top 20 recruiting class. We probably won't ever have that. That's not the point of my post.

Perspective. With the 5 you posted, and maybe another coming in... Not too far off. Don't think the transfers count, but it's good to be closing in. Has there every been a year where 6? 4 stars were added to the team?(dunno)

guess their basketball cheerleaders are of the more normal variety - for football they just have 4 guys dressed up like 1950s gas station attendants with towels hanging out of their pockets that they take out and wave around to start the weird cheers they've all practiced together - it's bizarre

WAC actually has rules against the Haka.

Thanks. That was exactly the point. We aren't that far off from some of those listed.

Can we get a 4* DT? That would be pudding

You can’t have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat!
