I plugged in the 2023 Perfect Class V1.0 to see how it would stack up in team rankings:
**The names/numbers are in black if the recruit has verbally committed and the names/numbers are in red if the recruit has not verbally committed.
2430 points would be good enough for #8 in the nation in 2022, and #9 in the nation in 2021 (#4 and #5 in the SEC, respectively).
Missouri's 2022 class earned them 2024 points in the team rankings and the 2021 class earned them 1692. So, this perfect class in both ranking and points would again set the record for best class in school history for the 3rd year in a row. One thing that stuck out to me is that there are 9 guys on this list in the Rivals250 and 8 of them are in the top 160. The closer and closer you get to the top 100, the more likely you're talking about a guy that'll get drafted in a couple years. Comparatively, Missouri signed 6 Rivals250 guys in 2022 and just 1 Rivals250 guy in 2021.
Obviously we only have 1 of those guys actually committed in Brett Norfleet, but still: if you can hit on half of those guys you're bringing some really, really good talent into the program.
I won't hit on average star or average rating because a few of the guys on the list don't have a rating in Rivals yet so that makes it tough to get an accurate understanding, but they are both really good as it stands.
A long way to go with all these guys and when you're competing for players of this caliber, you're going to have to fight off the blue bloods. I'm personally just excited that we're actually in the mix for a lot of these guys because they'll likely not land all of them, but the more you're in the mix for, the more you're likely to get some of them. This gets me pumped for this summer to see what pieces Drinkwitz and Co. can add!
