Just Starling, Westry and Mintz would have been  the best aggregate class since at least 2011.  I did the work shortly after the two transferred in. Just the pair of Starling and Westry is amazing. Add in 56 points for Mintz (ranked 44 by RSCI) and just those 3 amount for a class ranking of 203 points, good for 5th best class between USC and UCLA.

Then consider Taylor, Copeland and Bell (Bunch at the time, RSCI 83), who were all top 100 somewhere, and this is our best recruiting class by rankings in a very long time.

"Starling and Westry would have been a class worth 147 points, in a top heavy year, it would have been 17th best class in '22.

Our last class getting close was Tyus Battle and Matthew Moyer in 2016, worth 111 points, good for 14th in a year where the talent was less concentrated.

We have to go back to '15 with Richardson, Lydon, Diagne and Howard to get a class worth more points, coming in with 156.

I choose not to count Diagne, since he and I are tied for minutes played with the home town Orange... So to get to a recruiting class where everybody made it to campus better than the Starling/Westry class we need to go back to 2011! That class featured Christmas, MCW and Cooney.

So, I reiterate my point. If you think recruiting ratings matter, you should be pretty excited by our two transfers."
