Maybe this should go in the "Class Ranking" thread, but this class is a great example of why the whole ranking thing is a little overrated (not saying it is meaningless, but overrated). While the class has some great players and huge "gets," two players that I think could potentially have big impacts down the road add almost nothing to our rankings (Hill, assuming he sticks which I think he will, and Mokwuah). Meanwhile, other schools that are taking 48 players, some of which are just pure filler, are ranked higher than us. We've also had higher rated classes in the past that were loaded with highly ranked skill guys that never really materialized, or classes with kids that didn't really fit the bill. This class is neither; it has players at core positions, it has solid projectable guys and big upside guys, and most importantly it has guys that I feel are the right fit for the school and the program. I'm getting increasingly excited about this group. Give me one or two more cherries on top of this sundae and I will be dancing in the streets.
