There's been a lot of chatter about how good Miami's 2023 recruiting class will be. It seems like the expectation is that Mario will finish with a top 5 class which I think will unfortunately be extremely difficult.
We all know the Tier 1 schools that will probably always finish Top 5 while also competing for #1 overall. Those will likely be Bama, UGA, Texas A&M, and OSU. A&M has highest risk of dropping out of this tier but those boosters are no joke.
Last year, Texas kinda shocked a lot of people with a top 5 finish and a similar story this year. I firmly believe USC will be that program with Riley dominating CA/West Coast recruiting.
The next 5 are honestly toss ups between a lot of blue blood programs that have consistent track records in recruiting. These are the Tier 2 programs like LSU, ND, Oklahoma, Penn State, Clemson, and our beloved Hurricanes.
My prediction for top 10 would be:
1. Bama
2. UGA
3. Texas A&M
4. USC (Three 5 stars already...sheesh)
5. OSU
6. ND (Has a legit class already, average composite of 94.57 with 9 commits)
7. LSU (BK is an absolute chode but if LSU can win 9-10 games I think top 10 is a lock for them, average comp right now of 94.41 with 4 commits)
8. Miami (Good season could have us competing for top 5 but I think we ultimately end up in a top 10 spot)
9. Oklahoma (Toss up but they've been so good for so long so I can't see them drop out of top 10)
10. Texas (I think Sark is going to have a mediocre season but boosters will carry them to top 10)
Penn State, Clemson, and Oregon will probably also be there competing to get into top 10. But Franklin will corch his chances at a top 10 away, a lot of question marks around Clemson, and Lanning is going to have trouble in CA with Riley at USC now.
All in all...I think we need tempered expectations and not freak out if we don't finish top 5.
