Top 5 class incoming...

Top 5 class is basically impossible at this point. Even if we shoot the moon with both of the big remaining Louisiana kids plus both duncanville kids plus this ole miss flip plus another surprise plus keep every single current commit, that puts our class score at a number that would’ve been like 8th or 9th or 10th last year.


Ship has sailed on a top 5 class. Most likely scenario we land like 12th

You want to bet me? I guarantee you we will not be in the top 8. The numbers just straight up are not possible if we lose Wardell mack.


Everyone can downvote all they want but I’m not wrong. We’ve got 20 dudes in the boat already and a grand total of one kid from the top 100 (per 247). The class can still be a great one but a top 5 class is off the table, regardless of whether you want to pretend otherwise

A lot of us personally do not give a shite.
The pieces that fit here in this class are damn good.

Life aquatic already said he’s not wrong, so that’s that

Stopped reading after this cause that's not even true.

You mean if they land the guys they lead for?

1) They literally don’t lead for Mack


2) i know it’s far beyond the grasp of most people on here but if you understood these things called “percentages” then you’d know that even if they DID lead for all those guys individually that wouldn’t make it particularly likely that they land all of them. If they’re sitting at 75% with each of McKinley/Mack/simmons/Durham (which is probably already overstating it) that only gives them a 31% chance of landing all 4. And even if they DID land all 4, it’s not enough for a top 5 class.

With or without Mack, they likely land in that 5-7 range.

Do you want to bet on this? I will bet you right now that if they don’t land Mack, they will not have a top 7 class. Seriously. I want to come back to this, because I am 100% positive that I’ll be correct.

Receipts are being logged.

He’ll be disappointed to know that McBride and Johnson are rated ahead of Mack on 247

We currently don't have the Composite avg. after adding the 3 top tier recruits(Durham,McKinley,Simmons) to make it into the top 5, but I won't give a second thought to someone's ranking. It will be a killer class if we get them. Period.

ETA: if those 3 committed right now, our composite goes to 91.11. There are 9 teams that would probably still be ahead of us, putting us at #10.(the algorithm is complex, and you can still conceivably be ahead of someone that has a higher composite). So we would be very close to probably 4 or 5 of those teams ahead of us. so if they were to sign some lower rated players(under 90.00 say, which is probable) we could slip above them. A lot of if's here so I say we'll finish anywhere from #13 to #6. Ga.,Bama,Ohio St. will be 1,2 & 3interchangeably. Probably won't be able to catch USC & Auby. Fla.,Tenn,& A&M are a possibility to pass, but my guess is 9 or 10.(if we sign the big 3)

But, like I said up front, if we signed those 3, I think our class could compete equally, or better, with #4-#12. and can beat 1-3 on a good day. This staff can coach up as good as anyone also, so I'm not worried. Would still be a KILLER SOLID class if we added the 3.
