Rivals 2012 Rankings...so far

[irishog77]

Hadn't seen this, so don't know if it's been posted already. I know the debate will ensue about if we are too low, high, or who cares...but still interesting to see where Rivals has us at the moment.

It's July.

I also tend to think all the guys who are undecided...should probably be at the top our list

Predicted #1 Class in February: Akron

Totally, I hope we get Keith Marshall.

I know, but some programs are nearly done. Some have 20 or so committments.

I know-- good lord, Miami has 22 so far and VT 23! So much time from now until NSD, so many things can and will happen, that that many recruits up to this point is ridiculous...if you ask me.
I think ND is probably about where they should be so far with 12 (especially with a smaller class coming in).

We're screwed.

ESPN Insider is reporting that the Irish are not matching up to their 2011 Class. Of course, I argue that it is July, their top D-Line recruits did not come into play until late to boost the '11 Class, and IT'S JULY.

Insider is also reporting that Notre Dame's season solely depends upon Michael Floyd and even then, a top ten finish is unlikely. Reporting this for ESPN? Desmond Howard, former stud at archrival Michigan. I'm wasting my money.

This is around the same thing as judging a movie when the first trailer comes out....its much to early to tell

 

[GreatGolson]

well after seeing this i can only say that ND will lose 9 games this year and never win a championship again. soon all the trees on campus will die, the residence halls will crumble, the old statues will rust, the Holy Cross Brothers shall run out of money and will close the school. but hey, i could be wrong, its only july

I'm glad we have room for 8-9 more players. USC game + 10 wins will make filling the rest of the spots very, very fun.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

As I've said before, if Darby, Shepard, and Greenberry sign the dotted line in February, I think this class already is beyond legit.

 

[JDAtlanta]

As I've said before, if Darby, Shepard, and Greenberry sign the dotted line in February, I think this class already is beyond legit.

And with the players still looking at ND, the class could be ridiculous.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

I would rather FINISH strong then have ~big class early.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I would rather FINISH strong then have ~big class early.

That's how Bobby Bowden used to roll

Yessir!

Whoa. Slow down there, bro.

This class should finish in the Top 15. Maybe Top 10 if we land all of the studs that are showing high interest.

 

[WabashFalcon]

It 'tis nearly August!

 

[irishog77]

I'd think even if all the marquee guys that've been discussed on here signed with the Irish, it'd still be only a top 6-10 recruiting class (not that I'd gripe about that one bit-- I'd be ecstatic!) due to only being able to sign 20-22 guys.
And I'd rather finish strong than begin strong too...but when was the last time a team on Rivals with a top 1-3 class in late July...finished with the 17th best class? Odds tend to favor the frontrunners in recruiting.
But I still think ND is doing fine and are about where they should be at this point.

EE's baby. Let them come in Jan.

Very well said sir....... Dont forget Prestwood who isn't gonna account as a "recruit", but will be a hell of an addition.

Prestwood is considered a member of the 2011 class.
