2027 Recruiting Thread

Ok?

I was being sarcastic but it wasn't directed at you. It was in regards to having our committed recruits poached. It would be nice to be the poacher every now and then.

Gotcha. I thought I missed something.

We covered this a few pages back - but with the current state of NIL, is the crystal ball or RPM worth anything anymore on these sites? At least from a user and/or fan perpsective? What a bunch of BS. These people are about as unreliable as the local weather man these days. They all literally said some of these recruitments are in the bag a week ago - and now they're in the bag to another school. This site says Wiltfong has 92% accuracy with his RPMs...LOL. What a joke, just do away with these things.

I think these big cash grab deals throw off their original projections like a Taylor essentially "flipping" to Nebraska or at least we all think this now. I think they are in the know with that and change the Crystal Ball. Dohn just did this for Taylor so they know what is up. Are you upset because they had him going to PSU earlier and changed?

The RPMs still tell us where a kid WANTS to go, just not necessarily where a kid WILL go.

Taylor wants to go to Nebraska. He gets the most money there.

Taylor has always wanted to go to PSU. If PSU, NU and Colorado all offered the same NIL package, he would choose PSU. No doubt in my mind.

Maybe, but I will tell you the sentiment that most teams fans are saying from the teams that have been really powerful and that is. Our recruiting is really down.

OSU % of 3 star recruits in the class

2021 9%
2022 5%
2023 5%
2024 14%
2025 19%
2026 38%
2027 31%

Based on this. IS our recruiting closer to OSU now or 5 years ago. We want to beat them we need to recruit closer to them. We've been saying it for years. Is that happening?

Do you guys know that Dean was a lower rated recruit in PSUs class than he is with UGa? He is their 4th highest rated recruit and a lot of that has to do with UGa's current class being made of about 2/3rd 3 stars. The mighty are falling back to the pack.

Here is the real problem. While OSU is coming back to us a notch or two, we have fallen half a notch to the lower half of the B10. Meaning its going to get more competitive with every other team in the conference on game day. Also this is HS recruiting and has nothing to do with the portal. Its only half the picture. IF it was just about HS recruiting, Indiana wouldn't even be in the discussion.

We have fallen to the lower half of the B10 in HS recruiting? Where do you come up with that? I see OSU, Oregon, USC, Michigan, maybe UCLA this year with the Chesney bump, Washington maybe all ahead of us. That is six at most. What am I missing?
