Check out this good piece on recruiting by CNNSI.com’s Stewart Mandel.
In it, he takes a look at the No. 1 classes from the years 1999-2003 and then tells us which team’s class should be ranked No. 1 in retrospect.
Signing-day rankings are entirely theoretical, based on the assumption that all those “five-star” prospects will turn into college All-Americas — and all those two-star guys the other schools signed will barely be able to put on their pads properly. Revisiting a class years later, however, often reveals that some of those five-stars never even became starters. Some flunked out, suffered too many injuries or transferred.
Something to think about as signing day approaches.
