I had compiled all of that for a new thread that I started right after you started this one, so you beat me to the punch

I am not really up to speed on who our 2022 out of state targets are yet, so thank you for providing these names. I'll go ahead and supplement the above post.

Do you think we could get Caleb burton

I don’t think so. We are taking a lot of wrs this 2021 class and have very good ones coming in from 2020. He would have to beat out a lot of guys. But if O wants him I definitely think we could get him.

We have the #1 ranked class in 2022 out the gate (team rankings just released).

The silent commitment grapevine says Shone Washington was the commitment Coach O mentioned on the radio the other day.

Hope I'm here to see it

Yea this is dumb... they need to expand the system or allow for more 5* players IF the class deserves that many 5*s. It’s ignorant to believe that some classes aren’t more loaded than others therefore would have more 5*s or less in some classes. They could also start making it more clear that the bottom list of 5*s are extremely fluid. So more or less 5*s in a given class and also more movement for the bottom 5*s and much less movement for the top notch 5*s besides moving up and down amongst themselves. Like the top 10 moving up and down within the top 10 but the top 10 players should be so clear cut that there’s very slim chance they move below that top 10 mark.

I know that’s what the points are for but they should put like a 5* with a confidence of 10 behind his rating because he’s shown that he works hard, has all the natural ability, makes good grades, has a great attitude and is a team player for his high school. Guys that don’t meet these standards should be given low marks like, yea he’s got all the physical abilities but he’s got a bad attitude toward work which spills over into his grades, his leadership on his HS team etc. therefore he’s a 5* that has a confidence of 1 or 2 so he could fall and be replaced at any point or he could also move himself up with a change.

They should also grade them on commitment. So if one guy commits early and stays with it while also doing all the right things, he should move up for being consistent and not down. Imo the people ranking these players could and should take some responsibility on how they do it because it impacts these young men in many ways. If a guy commits to 3 or 4 schools and is trolling people on Twitter and acting immature, he should be moved down until further notice.

So there should be lots of movement for the bottom elite guys but very little for the top 30 or so. Prioritize good behavior so that it will incentivize good behavior and vise versa. This may just take a lot of the BS behavior out of recruiting and keep the kids accountable for their actions without hurting them much at all.
