'26 Recruiting Rankings Tracker (37th/13th)

[BigOrangeTrain]

Updated after losing Tyson Bacon. Nothing to worry about from my perspective, we are just going slower at this point in the cycle. I think we've been distracted a bit lately lol.

We will finish somewhere near our average. 10-15th. Just like we always do.

We need a good GM

We're getting our asses handed to us on trail

We don’t pay or tamper like other other programs do. We don’t have the ace recruiters like some others do. It is what it is. We just have to hope our staff can coach what we get up enough to win big. Because we aren’t gonna be recruiting in the top 5 in the nation anytime soon.

Our staff is getting bodied this offseason

It matters in the fact that class rankings look good. The only ranking that really matters is how many stay at one school for 4 years.

Even that isn't a great measure, since some kids turn out to be duds, and it would be better if they hit the road after 1/2 years...

For the record, we are a couple of middling recruits away from the top 10 at any point here. I would lend more credence to the On3 Rankings than the 247 during this part of the cycle, I'd say up until late summer, when a lot of recruits are getting in the boat before their seasons start.

We have to do better at acquiring and retaining talent. Which means we need to step out of our comfort zone and upgrade our staff in certain positions.

Which coaches and who specifically do you want to hire to replace them?

This is a tracker where we can go back and see historically where we are and where we've been for recruiting rankings, per the 247 Composite. I am also tracking On3 live rankings at the bottom. I update pretty regularly.

If recruits have made a significant jump in their average rating since they committed, I've updated their score in green.

247 hates us

 

[mrmax86]

247 hates us

Gabriel Osenda disagrees

Also, theirs seems to be half volume-weighted and half quality-related.

On3 seems to be more quailty-related.

I'd trust On3 more for a prediction of future results, but I'd trust 247 more for current-state.

It just seems that our recruiting is a lot slower this year than the previous years, especially coming off a 10 win season that resulted in a cfp berth

Last year this time we had 10 recruits and 175 points. So not too far off honestly.

Bacon and Anderson. Not being negative, just facts. Maybe we can get them to flip.

More of a bacon and eggs guy myself. Throw in some toast and coffee and you’ve got a pretty dang perfect simple breakfast
