Didn't exist in the Fulmer era - but yes we definitely would have.247 Blue chip ratios just came out for 2025
We are ranked 17th which is our first time making the top 18 in JH tenure. Last time we made it was maybe Fulmer era?
School BCR Alabama 89% Ohio State 89% Georgia 84% Texas A&M 82% Oregon 78% Texas 78% LSU 73% Notre Dame 73% Oklahoma 70% Penn State 68% Miami 64% Florida 64% Auburn 64% Michigan 57% USC 57% Clemson 55% Tennessee 54% Florida State 54%
Obviously we need to get better but its good to see us make this list again.
Auburn has always been an outlaw and could compete before the market got so expensive. It is tougher for them to match the market now, that is true for Alabubba as well. The days of giving a top recruit a Charger to seal the deal are over. The bag chasers are going to deeper pockets. The way to compete for less endowed schools is selling relationship and program.Auburn's problem is that they are in the same state as Alabama and that state has limited resources. Same problem South Carolina finds themselves in with Clemson. A lot of these companies investing in college football now aren't alumni of these schools. They see business opportunities. Auburn has the Yellawood guy but where is the money for Hugh's 2026 recruiting class? They aren't even top 50! That wallet must have closed up. I don't believe the diversions that only Auburn is playing by the rules and everyone else's NIL deals will get nulled. Reeks of excuses for not having the $ to compete.
You're right about Alabama. People see how well they are recruiting right now and that's a bit of fool's gold. High School players are cheaper.Auburn has always been an outlaw and could compete before the market got so expensive.

Still can’t get too excited about this due to the final arbiter of talent , the NFL DRAFT.247 Blue chip ratios just came out for 2025
