Up until now, 2008's IG sources were accurate.

Parks looks like a true 1-tech, which is literally the only part I see missing in this DL class. Folorunsho and Alexander look like VERY good 3-techs. Flanigan could probably do either. I'm very, very impressed with all 4 of them.

Flanigan is an OL.

I'm seeing a lot of fluctuation on Segun's weight. One of the sites yesterday listed him at 300, and then I've seen him listed as low as 270. Either way, I think he's got the frame to hold 300+ and could play NT/1-tech.

Segun was verified on his OV at 6-2 300, per On3

Yeah figured he was already 290+ based off the pictures. Holds 300 well.

FWIW - During our 2024 run, Howard Cross was 285 and Rylie was 295. In the event we don’t land Parks, both Alexander and Folorunsho will play heavier than them.

Not doubting but is there a link to that? He looks 6' flat next to Freeman. Ok, maybe I am doubting.

On3 broke their profiles slightly, there's usually a vitals section that displays Rivals verified heights/weights (usually at camps) Tyler James mentioned that they updated his profile with verified measurements.

Not exact number since 247 broke their calculator but Simien, Parks, Segun, and Igwebuike gets the class to around a 308-312 composite score - ahead of where A&M is currently. Tits out for the boys

I think I recreated the 247 class calculator using their public formula and manually inputting the players' composite scores.

My formula has the current class composite score at 285.89 (close enough to their stated 285.88 - probably just a rounding error).

If Igwebuike, Simien, and Parks commit, it would bring the projected class composite score to 299.96. Not in the 308-312 range, but still the highest class ever (last year's was 299.28.

And with fewer commits.

This also with Monds + Vaughn's criminally low rankings. What a class.

Could they break 300 if Monds and Vaughn are bumped up (assuming everyone else stays put)?

 

[domer13]

Could they break 100 if Monds and Vaughn are bumped up (assuming everyone else stays put)?

If Monds and Vaughn are both bumped to 93.00, the score would be 300.90
If both to 95.00, the score would be 303.01
If both to 97.00, the score would be 305.79
If both to 98.00, the score would be 307.46

Again, this is assuming I have their formula down correctly. It did predict the 41.89 score with Tagliaferri's commitment correctly, so I feel pretty good about it.

You could do the same thing for the 2026 class with Jarrard, who should be a top 100 player at minimum imo

You could absolutely be correct and I appreciate it. My estimation was based off the calculated 247 number being slightly greater than A&M’s current 247 number. On the composite, A&M was at 306.

Done. Changed Jarrard to:
93.00 --> 300.05
95.00 --> 301.19
97.00 --> 302.93
98.00 --> 303.84

Whisenton will also get a bump but maybe not substantial. He's 181 and probably ends near the 100 mark.

I would think Segun Alexander would be on the list to make a big jump, he's currently outside the top 500 according to 247 and just inside it in the composite.

Whisenton is a top 75 talent on by board. Legit Jadarian Price level talent, with better top end speed. If he can learn the patience Price had as a zone runner and be as committed as Price was to strength and conditioning, he's going to be a load.

No question from me. I'm trying to be conservative by calling him a top 100 player. He looks electric + the o-linemen ND is recruiting in successive classes, he's going to be a massive headache for future opponents.

Yo where you at Parks?

We rolling to the Natty get in on this

Yep, pretty much a slightly thicker and faster version of Price as a commit. He could easily be 205 once he hits campus and a tad bigger than Price when he left ND.

It's crazy because Price wasn't even rated that highly by anyone.

I think the only service that had Price ranked in the top 200 overall was 247. On3 didn't even have him ranked. Same service had Nick Singleton rated the highest RB and the 16th rated player overall. Price went in the 1st round, while Singleton went in the 5th.

Yeah, the services whiffed hard on that one.

if Monds does what we all expect him to do this year, he could get a huge bump

Yet when people watch the film, they magically see the same thing and call the people who liked Price better, "homers."
