Were #15

I think we were at 15 before Bo McCormack. What is Bo’s ranking (can’t find one on any of the sites) and where would that put us? I mean if we can get in the top 15 or 10 of a recruiting class a lot of eyeballs will begin looking at us.

We were #15 before Bo, but to be fair, they grade their classes on total points, so classes that have more players have a distinct advantage. For example, we're a spot ahead of Georgia, but UGA has 5 commits and 1 is a 5 star, so their average grade is significantly better.

That being said, we're light years ahead of where we've been in years past and it's pretty exciting considered that most of this class is built on Northeast prospects so far. Targeting the best in the Northeast to build the core of the class is a great strategy as long as you can execute it. Fran and his staff can, which is great to see.

A couple of our commits don't have a rating so that will change things too, right?

Notice to current recruits: get your commitment in soon or risk losing your seat on the rocket ship

I can't believe it's not even April yet and we have all these commits. This is unprecedented here folks. We are in a new age of recruiting. Wild stuff

 

[wiseman3]

Most of this is based on volume of commits, but its still pretty impressive. Who knows, maybe we can stay in the top 25 when its all said and done

It appears to me that Fran and staff clearly has the ability to evaluate players. You can see that after they commit and are rated. I feel that if the staff feels two players are similar and one wants to commit and the other wants to wait to commit they are accepting the commitment regardless of rating. They are not going to slow roll comments for most players.

This tells me they are confident in their evaluations too. This staff has coaches from Georgia, Baylor, Texas A&M, etc. They know what they need to recruit to win at a high level, imo.

Once '25 is filled up, HCFB should start recruiting for other sports

Can we get him to some AAU tournaments?

Maybe sell it to HCFB as cross training

Can we have one of those mission impossible masks and let HCFB masquerade as Red?

This puts us on a really good path towards a top 20-30 class. Which is awesome based on what we had last year. There is a major gap between classes like ours and OSU / LSU for example and some of the other bigs will continue to fill in.

So weird to see this. Can’t quite get my head around it.

Coleman was just graded by 247 and we're still at 10...

It's purely based on the number of kids we have committed right now.

It still means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Bnoro, you rui….

Never mind.

I’d beg to differ tho.
It does mean something.

We’ve gotten a BIGLY number of early commits that is unprecedented for our programs history.

AND - it’s not a bunch of low-80’s (or worse) flyers that we hope are hardnosed or under the radar or hidden gems or whatever.

Lotta these dudes have some elite measurables -
Typically speed.

Even though our class ranking will surely fall as all the traditional powers fill out their classes, the fact that we are ranked here, now, is still hella impressive.
And to be celebrated.
