re: Can anyone recall a LA class as loaded as 2027 ?

I mean, if you count all positions as equal (i.e. if you don't give a bump to QBs), 2026 was at least that loaded prior to Stewart's reclassification.

You had 2 guys in the top 5 overall (Stewart and Brown), then 2 more guys right on the border of being 5* (Blaine Bradford and Richard Anderson), 2 more top-100 overall-ish guys (jabari mack, brysten martinez), another 3 strong 4*s (i.e. clear 4*s who aren't on the edge of 3/4) (aiden hall, jamichael garrett, kenny darby), plus your typical slew of high-3*/low-4* type guys who are very much worthwhile takes and could bump themselves up into clear-4* range with strong senior seasons.


However, removing Stewart from the picture, 2027 probably wins out, because the strength of 2026 was its strength at the very top more so than it's depth of high-quality talent. That being said, however, the 2026 class also had some guys who looked a little bit better this time a year ago (e.g. blaine bradford dropping from top ~20 overall to ~35-50 range, aiden hall dropping from ~50th to ~150th, etc), so it'll probably ultimately depend on what happens with the 2027 class from here on out.
