I would argue that we are landing these types of players.
Bryan Thompson was a high 4 star recruit last year. Top 25 National WR. Will have a big role next year. Still a couple of 4 star wideouts in play that we can possibly land as well.
Boyd (top 5 in Texas) and Hampton were high 3 or 4 star gets depending on the ranking service. The last few years we’ve beaten Oklahoma, Alabama, Oregon, USC, UCLA, etc. for kids who are already here. We’ve done the same thing this year as well. Tuttle will bring in more before he’s done I can assure you. If the offense plays as well as we think it will next year that will start happening next Fall.
Olave was never coming here…He considered Utah because of Tuttle but was always going to OSU or staying home at UCLA.
Winning helps…I agree that we probably get a kid or two we might have missed on this year but it wouldn’t be crazy significant. No debating that a title would give us a boost but our avg star rating will end up in the upper 20’s or low 30’s. We don’t have room for a big class so we don’t get the high total but as I’ve mentioned before…Covey, Boyd and Tufua are a few additions to this year’s roster who weren’t available last year. 3 starters – Soph and 2RS Frosh. Add some mission/RS kids to what’s still left to come and it’s a class that rivals last year’s ranking.
