Since the Team Talent Composite debuted for the 2015 season, 9 of 10 national champions have resided in the top 10, and 8 of 10 were top six.

I guess we'll just have to over-achieve.

We need about three top 5 or top 7 recruiting classes to seriously compete for a national title. The ninth spot in the SEC is way too low.

so you're telling me there's a chance

Actually, it is nice to see that Heupel has brought us from 16 to 9 in 4 seasons. I would like to see us closer to 6-7 in the coming years.

Crazy 9th in the SEC and 16th overall. SEC is just brutal.

We have the same number if 5 stars as South freaking Carolina . This just shows YET again how the people who say stars don’t matter look utterly foolish.

But how do we realistically get into the top 5? We know teams like Bama, UGA, TX and OSU are gonna be in the top 4 every year. So that leaves one spot. How do we out recruit USC? LSU? Oregon?

I just don’t see us getting into the top 5 anytime soon.

I'm not surprised in the least. If we can't bring in better talent, we just won't be able to compete for championships with those above us. It's really simple.

We haven’t had a top 5 class since Butch was here so i don’t think we will ever out recruit those teams you mentioned. Hopefully the 26 class can get inside the top ten that’s probaly the best we can hope for.

What's interesting to me is that I looked at their list a couple of days ago (they hadn't finalized the 2025 data, but they had cleaned up the roster removing Nico, Squirrel, the seniors etc) and counted 6 five star players and 41 four star players. In the final version, the 47 are broken down as 4 five star players and 43 four star players. Same number of blue chip players, just slightly different. I think Hobbs and Campbell were the two that were five stars at that time.

We seem to take too many 3*'s early. I know that the staff sees something in these guys, but if you want to be 3rd or 4th in this ranking, you have to play the numbers game. It's simple math. If you want to improve, you need to sign a higher percentage of 4* and 5*'s, and reduce the percentage of 3*'s you take based on the total number of players signed.
