From Rivals:

#1 RB class
#4 DB class
#5 TE class
#19 OL class
#25 QB class

I love the talent we just added at the RB and DB positions. Nice work coaches. Next year, lets get a top 5 DT, and DE class!

someone please explain why USC is #16 in DT when they have 1 guy committed and other schools have a 4 star plus others?

Those numbers are a little misleading. They counted Huff as an RB and Lowe as a DB rather than WRs, so we didn't even have a score at WR.

UCLA also has a few top running backs coming in, but they weren't on the list because one of them was classified as an athlete. Still, I couldn't be happier with Williams and Seastrunk.

Can someone explain how we are so highly ranked with a grand total of 2 OL's committing? A prep and a somewhat (until we offered) under the radar JC. What, do they count TE's in both categories?

My thought: Rowland is Superman and the people who rank these positions know it.

There's 3 OL: Rowland, Grasu, and Clanton. Also, Clanton is not an under the radar JC; he's a four-star on Rivals so he's pretty good.

^^^^forgot our future center^^^^ Won't happen again.

The Clanton verbal was a bit of a shocker when we got him. He shot through the roof (star and award-wise) after we got him. I believe he is legit as it gets. However when we got him he did not have much in the way of offers if I remember correctly.

I think so.

he has 3 to play 2, read somewhere they might try to redshirt him because the entire oline is returning but he will be hard to keep of the field and will push somebody for reps.

It says we're a distant second in RB classes...

Think that's because Vainuku is the #1 FB and they didn't put him in under RB originally.

Gotcha

Vainuku might have been a good option as a developmental DT... 6'1/251/4.6? At one time he expressed interest in Oregon.

He's a cousin of a certain former monster LB from USC.

how are we a distant second now? We have the exact same stats as USC star-wise...

Is Dillon Baxter that much better than Lache?
