Rivals now has Syracuse at #49 and since their rankings are weighted towards the number of commits we're in good shape having only 18 kids.

A few more kids and we can make their top 40.  A 4 star like the RB would almost make us a top 40 lock.  We should be solidly in the top 50.

Our ACC rank is up to #8.

Miami (21)
VT (23)
LVille (21)
NC State (21)
Clemson (12)
UNC (15)
Wake (21)
Syracuse (18)
BC (20)
UVA (20)
FSU (10)
GT (17)
Pitt (14)
Duke (14)

Keep in mind their system is based on points.  bigger class size means more points, means better ranking.  They value quantity over quality.  Also keep in mind, a 3 star is NOT created equal.  They have high 3 star and low 3 star ratings.

high 3 star 5.7 = 90 points
mid 3 star 5.6 = 75 points
low 3 star 5.5 = 60 points

their system is extremely flawed and easy to manipulate.  Lowering Gabe Horan last week from 5.5 to 5.4 for no reason cost us 15 points.  That difference would've made us tied with Iowa and Wake at #47.
