Whatever.

Ha! Beat you to the post

ROTFL

The sips at Rivals must be sleeping on the job.

I think we are either 4 or 5 on 247 composite. Still have a talented class and we will add a couple more soon.

so your saying the sky isn't falling? whew i was worried.

clearly a very quality class with the potential to add more quantity. add in portal additions and it may not be as bad as people think. elko seems to be doing a lot of good things and salvaging this class and bringing in quality portal players is a must.

#4 or #5 on the average star rating per player. Which is pretty good.

We are currently #19 on recruits and #14 in the portal on 247 though.

It's going to fluctuate a lot but we will be making a few solid additions that movwe us up

Do you not believe there's a better chance that Elko loses his highest rated players (Bussey, McKinley, Evans, etc.) than there is of adding more talent to our average star rating? If you believe any of the smoke, it seems there's way more probability to fall than rise.

Don't really care, goofy. Jimbo's first class was awful in terms of producing starters (Bobby Brown was only major starter from the class, with Leon becoming quality DB in later years), yet we went 9-1 in year 3 with a slightly-above average QB and mediocre head coach…thanks to Elko's defense, and that was before the portal existed.

Jimbo's first class: https://247sports.com/college/texas-am/Season/2018-Football/Commits/

And Jimbo's first full class (2019 class) produced about 6 or 7 starters for the coming years. I bet Elko is better at evaluating talent than that.
