Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 3044525, member: 628"] There is no reason to despair... however... I would rather have higher class rankings than not. I tend to think that college football recruiting is a bit bipolar -- you need quality volume to build depth, [I]and[/I] you need at least a handful of true impact players. There's no debating that in three years Dino has addressed the former. I suspect it's the latter than moves rankings the most, and we're not there yet. Determining overall health of the program based on the ranking of any one class is silly. But I have to imagine that, generally speaking, P5 teams that constantly see rankings in the top half of their conference tend to see better W/L results than those who tend to rank in the bottom half. And I think it'd be rare to find a P5 program that constantly ranks in the bottom third to be a perennial 8+ win team. No data to support that, I'm open to a fact-based challenge, of course. [/QUOTE]
