Have you seen who we are recruiting (mostly 4 and 5 star players)? This is not the football staff we are talking about here. We get Mudiay, Turner, and Buford we are top 20 for sure. I believe ARob, Lattin (or E. Robinson), and Buford would give us a top class as well. If attrition happens we might be top 15 again.

By the way, we are in a major dogfight with South Carolina for Buford.


I follow who SMU is recruiting. If SMU has three spots to fill, I stand by my vote. I would LOVE to be wrong...

Mudiay is certainly a development, but I still say no since it will now be a 2 player class. Only way they get there is if they land a top 100 big man.

I put it at 50/50...+Robinson puts them around 15, +Lattin puts them right on the edge (IMO). Who knows who else comes into play.

What would Myles Turner do for them? Now he is saying SMU is back in the picture and may take an official visit.

Good point. It's nearly impossible to predict what's going to happen following Mudiay's decision.

Not really. We have 3 scholarships. Arkansas and Florida just had 2. Arizona, Duke, Michigan, and North Carolina had 3.

We are already in the top 25 with just 1 recruit signed. So with 3 I believe we are in the top 20.

Man, you just won't give up! ;-)

It's early guys. A lot of kids to still sign, which will move the rankings. If SMU signs two more good players, top 25 likely. If not, very likely just outside.
