My comment was not literal, but thanks for Recruiting Dynamics 101.

In case you didn't know MC, Galilee is a poster on volquest that is about as solid as they come.

I'm familiar with him. He has connections with high school programs and he usually shoots straight. I hadn't seen where he opined that UT was leading though. I really don't hear too much about JW3 recruitment to tell you the truth.

But since there has been rankings, iirc 10 is the highest rated class we've ever had.
UT was #9 on Rivals in 2010, #7 in 2008, and #6 in 2006.

Well I wouldn't use rivals for basketball, but if going by rivals then yea, #6 would be the highest.

I forgot about that 2010 class being so high, scout has that class at 9 also, so yea somewhere in that range.

I'm guessing we've never had a top 5 class though, Zo's the man to do it!!!

I obviously was a bit off on Crawford, apparently Tennessee along with Florida kind of cooled on him and pulled out of the recruitment. He was CCM's for the taking, if CCM wanted him he could've easily gotten him I feel, Crawford just wanted to feel wanted after the injury and nobody did that besides Memphis.

This either means 1. CCM feels very good about some other guys or 2. CCM missed on a golden opportunity. I'm hoping it's the first one.

Absolutely.

Like I posted in another thread, Crawford wasn't even on a lot of people's list for signees this class, but it is one off the board, much like Rimmer committing to UF.

The rumor was the staff has been eyeing a hubbs, jw3 and Nichols based class, those 3 are still available, so I wont start worry much unless one of them committ elsewhere.

Out of the guys were in on the most right now hubbs and king will probably make the first committment, obviously things can change though.

Hubbs is definitely a possible one and done, and the same for King. I don't think Nichols or jw3 are one and dones, but you never know.

I'd like to know where some of those late 90s classes rank. I don't know if any of the sites go that far back.
