    very nice

    Downs should get his next time (he is right on the cusp)

    Garrett and Ferrell have a chance as well (Garrett moreso), which would leave only Williford and Helton as players lower than 4 stars

    Not bad

    My prediction for our final class:

    5 star - 7 (Shepard, Randle, Davenport, McFarland, Loston, Michael or Richardson, Benton)
    4 star - 15 (Debose, Faulk, Janzen, Bell, Calhoun, Ford, Sentimore, Pratt, Ainsworth, Brockers, Lowe, Minter, Mingo, X'ua Filo, Downs)
    3 star - 4 (Ferrell, Garrett, Williford, Helton)

    4.12 final average (Filo will do his mormon mission and won't count towards the class, Benton will finally qualify and count in this class, 25 overall recruits)
  2. That's awesome, this class is going to be sick.
  3. If DeBose has a great season he'll probably move up & be a 5*. He's right there at 31.CB Brandon Smith is only one spot away eventhough he wont be signing here.
  4. Yep, Debose has a good chance to be our 8th 5 star.
  5. Benton will not count as far as Rivals/Scout is concerned.

    And I still think your 25 number is too high. According to Mike S recently, the magic number is 21, and then assume 2 greyshirt/non-qualifiers. Henton may count back against last year's numbers, so I'll give one more there & that makes 24 as a max (counting Benton, although I think he has to re-sign).
  6. These guys will definitely be in the class:
    Randle
    Loston
    Sentimore
    Mingo

    X'ua-Filo, McFarland Michael/Richardson & DeBose - 50% chance with each, but I don't think we land them all.
  7. So you don't believe Alex Singleton FB has a commitable offer?
  8. I know you're not talking to me, but I was just coming to edit my post & say that we need to add him...

    I expect him to be in our class.
  9. I did, then I pulled him out.

    I guess I am not ready to convince myself that we take a FB with the numbers being so tight.

    If Benton won't count towards the class, then I would add in Singleton (3 star?).

    Then we end up with a 4.03 average instead.
  10. Benton, if he qualifies, will count against the numbers of the class, but Rivals/Scout will not include him in our ranking.
