Ok. So let's go through this again.
 
We have 8 commits. 6 of 8 are 3 stars as per Rivals, 4 of 8 per Scout, 5 of 8 per ESPN. So our average is anywhere from 2.5 - 2.75. (which if it sticks would be our highest average that I can remember). Our average on Rivals ranks us third in the BE, on Scout we're 5th, and I couldn't see where we rank on ESPN but I'm assuming 4th or 5th. I don't care about team points at this point because if you look at team points, a school like UCONN which has a crappy recruiting class is going to rank higher just because they have more recruits.
 
We will likely take 17 or 18 kids. So that would leave 9-10.
 
It's been stated about 45 times on here that we're still publically heavily involved with at least 6 or 7 3 star +, multiple BCS offer prospects that will officially visit. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the staff is taking a smaller class this year, and is going after QUALITY. People have consistently whined over the past 3 years about the quality of recruiting classes - now the staff is putting together a quality class and people are still whining. It never ceases to amaze me. And yes it is whining.
 
I would much rather see the staff keep spots open and chase after the guys who are on their A list that they are clearly still involved with. If they don't pan out, there have been a number of B list type recruits that have committed to lesser programs that I'm sure we can get involved with again. Afterall, that's what programs that are considered quality recruiters do. They shoot for their A list and if they lose out at the last minute, they poach lesser programs' recruits.
