We also had the year we did because we had Kyle McCord who was a 97 out of HS and 91 transfer.

Jackson Meeks was a 87 HS and 87 tramsfer

Most of those guys are also 1-3 points higher if you do the composite ranking which is a combo of all the services, not just 247.

If you have 20-25 a class there are going to be 4-5 outliers or guys who out perform their ranking or just not evaluated correctly. We’ve been 6-6, 7-5, before this season, and again, that was mostly because of McCord. If we don’t have him we win maybe 6-7 regular season games again. That’s a whole lot of average. Obviously, we should know more than anyone, if you don’t have an above average QB, it’s hard to compete even with a plus roster. Then again programs that typically have top 30 classes are those that are usually in and out of the top 25. I respectfully disagree that rankings don’t matter. It’s pretty easy to get the 4 and 5 stars right because they have the measurable’s and other skills where if they are developed properly will be future pro’s or all league. You can’t hope to hit on 3-5 kids a class if you want to consistently be successful, which i would equate to regularly winning 8 games a season at the minimum. If you want to have a chance of cracking the top 25 each season we need to recruit at a much higher level. 2024 was exceptional. Every other year this century have been below average to average. The results speak for themselves.
