Of the many "signs" that our program has truly arrived and is perceived as a national power (Top 20 team, now and for the foreseeable future), I think wresting one of these high profile, in-state recruits from the blue bloods on his offer list will be very telling. We won't ever get them all for multiple reasons, but perception helps to shape reality and I fell we are very close to nabbing a truly elite prospect (let's say top 50-75). Even more, getting one of these players from [I]out[/I] [I]of state[/I] would be even better, as we did get Trill and Qadir in 2018. I'd like to think we could grab one top 100 player and maybe three (or more?) top 300 players on a consistent basis. We had two (per 2 4 7) in their top listings for 2018 but none for 2019. Like a lot of people here, I understand the whole rankings-shmankings attitude, and I believe our 2019 class is grossly underrated by those services, so it is, perhaps, a little hypocritical for me to want the ranked recruits, but on the national stage, these victories would be big for our national perception as far as players and [I]also[/I] their coaches and families. We need to be in their heads before Dino and crew can even have a chance to sway their hearts.
