Say we get Justin Flowe.

And what’s left to choose from on our board.

Worst case scenario should be #3 at this point.

Lawd this is exciting!

Taking the wait-and-see approach.

Still a very long way to go before NSD 2020.

Then IMO we finish with the following:

Ashaad Clayton
Sedrick Van Pran
Jacqueline Roy
Jacobian Guilory
Eric Reed
Major Burns
Marcus Dumervil
Miller Merriweather-Lewis
Marlon Martinez
Branard Wright

That's going to be 307+ points on 247 and probably a first place finish.

1. LSU
2. Clemson
3. Bama

If Justin Flowe does not come aboard he is replaced with Joel Williams and we finish with 301+ probably behind Clemson at number 2.

1. Clemson
2. LSU
3. Bama

Just a stab at this point in the game.

Because ranking sites are biased towards certain schools.

Overcoming the Bama bump is nearly impossible now days. It will take an epic class and honest prospect evaluators for it to happen. I gave up expecting for LSU to ever end up with a #1 class on a while back.

Alabama has more paying members on the recruiting sites. LSU and Clemson don't have as many.

As the players get re-ranked you will see the "Bama bump" come into play. Just like last year when LSU's QB signee made Bama'a QB signee look like a dope in their state championship game AND the Polynesian Bowl and the Bama guy was still rated higher.

At the same time Kardell, who had dominated the camp circuit, was on vacation at a meaningless all-star game and was dropped from the #1 OG and 5-star to #4 and a 4-star.

Bama will be #1 and LSU and Clemson will be 2/3 in no particular order and everyone will be happy.

Regardless of the final ranking by the Bama-sites I know who will actually have the best class.

winning more than 10 games will determine how this class finishes.

it's been a while.

Imo it really depends on how many Clemson takes. They are really on pace for a historical class, they are even turning away 5-star guys at certain positions.
