Tennessee currently has 1790 Rivals points, which is where the ranking comes from. They've gotten those points on 20 commits, which means you have an average of 89.5 Rivals points/player.

We can sign a max of 27. I definitely don't think it'll happen, but this is revealing:

If the Vols could maintain their current 89.5 points/player average, sign those additional seven players, we'd end up with 2417 points. That would be good for #8 according to Rivals.

I'm fully aware that other teams could boost their ranking with a similar feat, but this is a point that needs to be stated before half of VN drives over a cliff. It's not that we've done badly; it's that we haven't signed 50 players. That's for 2014.

Yeah. We did get some quality players, and we filled a lot of needs. We're not going to be wanting at WR for a few years that's for sure.

Precisely. These ranking system value them equally.

And they should be valued fairly equally over time across multiple recruiting classes. Your gonna have a high chance at hitting on talent with numbers but numbers in a single recruiting class isn't as important. Specifically if your talking about 5 guys.

5 guys a year over 4 years will kill you.

I also noticed that our AVG Rating per player is higher than Vandy, who is 1 spot ahead of us.

I try not to put too much stock into "rankings", as we all know that 2009 class was ranked high, but never produced for us. As long as the players we sign this year stay in school, stay out of trouble and actually produce for us, then it will be a solid class.

Finally, someone with some sense. And as I posted elsewhere, Jabo is ranked 3* only because he didn't play much his Sr. year because of injury. He'd be a true 4*. Woody actually has no points ranking by Rivals because he doesn't have enough playing time, so he gets their minimum 2* rank; BUT he is a BEAST natural athlete and IMHO has 4* skills AT LEAST.
Add those two under the radar players in skill, speed, "jumping out of the gym" athleticism to the eight bonafide 4*'s already signed and and 50% of this signing class have 4* skills, (I agree not 4* ranking).
Add a couple more like that even after today and CBJ done not bad for a short recruiting season and a 1st year staff. Just IMO.

GO VOLS!!!

Rivals only gives points for the top-20 signees.

haha. Thanks for the help.

Looking at the circumstances... I'll take it. Bell and Lawson would have made the difference in a solid class and a good one. On to 2014. Oh and GTFO!

This is the kindve blind excitement that kills me. Woody Quinn is a 2* for a reason. I hope he does great, but you're acting like we should expect great things from him.
