Right now we're #35 in the rivals recruiting rankings. But, we only have 16 commits. Pretty much everybody ahead of us has more commits than us. If we added four 5.5 three stars to get to 20 commits (the number that rivals counts) we'd get to #25. If we filled out our class with four more 5.7s, which has been about around our average for the class, we'd be ranked #20.
But this year the portal is going to count towards the rankings. If you look around, there are a ton of very highly ranked dudes in the portal right now. Last year Drink did an excellent job of recruiting the portal, other than at the quarterback position.
If we can pull in 5 or 6 really good recruits from the portal, I think this class could maybe make its way into the top 20 for the third year in a row.
