I see atleast 2 Oline guys and an WR or 2 should be the priorities.

Where did we end up as far as class rank?

Not that it matters now. The portal has made class rankings a moot point, other than bragging rights..

I believe he has already submitted his paperwork but wants to announce at his school.

With Sanders signing and the 4* USC flip we should move up to 7 or 8.

He did lose a couple guys in the last month so 10th makes sense. And we will take some portal guys

One thing I have noticed about Josh. He recruits needs, not stars. He would much rather have a four star that he needs, than a five star just to say he got a five star.

Don't get me wrong, a five-star always comes in handy. However, if you have a five star at that position already. A four-star in a place where you're very thin makes more sense.

I look at star ratings as margin for error in recruiting. Having 3 5* guys at the OT position in theory means that if the Starter is out it’s less likely to see a significant drop if you can trot out another 5*.

In all honesty the difference between a 4 and 5* in most cases is development. The difference between a 3* and 4* in most cases is ability. So it’s easier to develop a 4* than a 3* all other things being equal in most cases.

We had Trey Smith, highest paid guard in the NFL, in his ear.

Trey Smith helped recruit Sanders
