As I tried to eloquently put it, OSU have been flooding The NFL w/ top 3 round talent WRs. Whether they bust or not is no never mind when they r getting guaranteed contract $$ & roster roster spots for several yrs. It also helps that they just put two first rounders this past draft & will have another 1st rounder, most likely, this up coming draft.
What we can’t do is continue to torment ourselves by comparing. Right now, we can’t.
Right now, the top 10 classes per 247:
1. ND (15 commits)
2. OSU (13 commits)
3. Clemson (15 commits)
4. PSU (13 commits)
5. UGA (11 commits)
6. TT (18 commits)
7. UC (19 commits)
8. NW (18 commits)
9. USC (11 commits)
10. Arkansas (13 commits)
34. Miami (8 commits)
38. Bama (5 commits)
-TT, UC, NW will be out of the top 25. 85+% of their class is made up of 3 stars; it’s just the size of their classes that have them in the top 10
-Arkansas will probably drop as well, since their class is 50+% 3-stars (but that NIL $$$ may calling)
Now, its no surprise that Bama is where they r; they get some key guys early, all blue chips, let kids OV, dominate the season, & dominate the finish. Mario learned under Saban, so its ironic we’re close by each other. Imo, the only real threats in recruiting right now from start to finish is OSU, Bama, UGA, Clemson (I think they have a bounce back yr), & UTK (they’ll probably be this yrs’ TAMU).
Other than that, I’m not worried about no one else. I still think we finish top 7, no less than top 10 to end the recruiting season. I know it’s annoying to see right now, but some teams will always be in the mix for the top spot, and we’ll see some new teams blow their wads early, over paying for disappointment.
