We need to keep winning the South and have a yearly improvement in our recruit ratings. Our average rating in this class is 87 and Oklahoma’s is 90 / OSU is 91. BYU’s average player rating is 82. When we first joined the PAC 12 or average player rating was closer to 82. So the recruiting talent differential for us now is closer to Oklahoma and Ohio State than it is to BYU.
One of the issues is that we only have 20 scholarships allotments in this class because we have five return missionaries that won’t count. I think 247 needs to rcallibrate how they do class rankings and account for the missionaries in the year they return and sign to play versus the year they leave. Outside of that, it’s a numbers game. Using the 247 class calculator, if we were to sign the final three recruits we are going after we could likely end in the top 25. Or average star rank continues to get higher each year. Right now we are in the top 25 from average star ranking. Usually they say that on field success translates into recruiting success the following season. My understanding is we are already starting to line up some good prospects for 2021.
