Title: Seven random thoughts
Post by: Kaos on February 01, 2017, 03:53:04 PM
Using Rivals numbers because I'm too lazy to look around.

1) When Ole Miss is under scrutiny (see: Afraid to cheat), they become what they are.  Class ranked 41st.  Well below even Kentucky.

2) When Georgia feels empowered (see: Kirby thinks he can Saban-cheat) the Bulldogs build a strong class. The NCAA won't be far behind.  And as always, the Dogs will squander the talent they have.

3) New hire in Texas didn't energize the Lowhorns.  No five-star recruits. Ranked 31st. A couple of spots below Mississippi State. Yuck. 

4) Alabama buys the best class on earth. Again. Every class is the best class in the history of recruiting and has been for years now.  Every year.  25 total four and five star recruits.  Nobody else is close.  The total number of five star recruits signed by Alabama and Ohio State equal the combined total of five star recruits from the remaining schools in the Top Ten.  That's ridiculous.

5) Ten of the top 25 ranked classes are SEC schools.

6) Auburn ranks sixth in the SEC, fourth in the West according to Rivals.  With 21 recruits, AU has the second lowest number of signees in the Top 15.  This seems to be a trend and one that puzzles me.  Why always smaller classes? 

7) The surprise of the day to me is LSU.  Orgeron is an unknown commodity -- well, he's known for being the worst coach in SEC history, but I digress -- and the situation there seems to be unstable.  Yet he kept most of the recruits home, with the exception of the Charger-induced Saban plucks, and finished with a stronger class than I expected.  He won't be able to manage the program, but whoever follows him will have a nicely stocked cabinet.

I've gotten to where 247 is about the only one I look at because of the composite.  We finished 9th on 247 with 23 commits, but I just read where Tashawn Manning signed again. Not sure if he counts as the 24th but he never enrolled at AU last year because of the Big C.  (Damn good to see anyone kick cancer's ass)  That also puts us 4th in the SEC.

Agreed on Ole Miss.  Mess with the bull....

6 Five Star and 18 Four Star for Bama according to 247.  There is no way on the face of God's green earth you can do that 7-8 straight years.  It simply is not possible.  After Yahoo Sports nailed them and we heard crickets chirp and watched tumbleweeds roll out of Indianapolis, I was stunned. After what a D1 coach told me he was told straight from the mouf of a Bama coach, it finally sunk in that the playing field is more tilted than a Saban family photo. It just is and there's not a gawt damn thing anyone can or will do about it.

A. LSU still one of the easiest places to recruit. No power inside school to deal with, if a kid wants to stay at home, he is going to LSU.  2. Orgeron could always recruit, plus he speaks their language down there.  Doesn't surprise me at all the class he pulled in, nor the classes he will continue to get.  Like you said being the HC long term is a different matter.

If LSU ever finds a Cam or a Deshaun Watson they will be scary good. Other than that they are always talented.

<From 2 years ago>

Tyrik Rollison has attended four schools in the past six years.

In that time, he’s dealt with the flu, a broken wrist, a broken ankle and faced a one-game suspension due to academics. He’s also had four daughters, who he has looked to for motivation throughout the last two years of his tumultuous college career.

My uncle was born in America, but he was one of the lucky ones. He managed to escape in a balloon during the Jimmy Carter presidency.

Who do you favor in the Virginia Slims tournament?

In women's tennis, I always root against the heterosexual.

Well, Mr. Rivers, it seems that you have become- How do you say indispensable?

Indispensable.
