I don't think we will sign #1 class as our average has fallen and no longer in the top spot. We are #2 in 247 composite and #3 in their own averages. So, several that are in on high rated players as 5*s and many others in the top 100 have less commits so we will likely be passed up by some of them.
I'm not sure what you're looking at as we are in a large lead for #1 in 247 composite, On3, and 247 rankings.
And we are in tight races for 5 more top 100 players. No one is catching us in 2027.
I clearly stated that I was looking at the average. It was clear...............here you go

But, you mentioned something else that I was wondering about. Who are the tight races for 5 more top 100 you are talking about?
I am curious as to who you think we really will land that are in the top 100? But, this is all just discussing recruiting rankings and I will tell you that really doesn't hold as much water for me as Elko and his staff getting the guys that fit what they want to do and are able to develop them for future NFL draft picks. I think Elko and his guys are all over it and that's what is important.
Still, from a ranking discussion standpoint, I am still curious about the 5 top 100 and who of those you really feel we will get
Lastly, as for the top spot, do really think schools already high in the composite rankings averages like ttceh who currently holds #1 and only have 13 commits. We are #2 with 21 and then USCw right behind us with only 13 commits, Miami at #4 again barely behind us but also have 2 less commits, Ohio St right there in striking distance at #5 with only 14 commits, ND sitting at #7 with a chance to pass us by getting just one more commit with Kaden Henderson (as they seem to be with the momentum heading into his decision date 7/1), whorns are sitting at #8 with only 14 commits and look good to get at least a couple of 5* guys (Meredith, Camara)
My main point is, smart money would say the field as there are so many teams with many less committed and could possibly catch us so to think #1, is probably not the odds on favorite bet
BTW, who gives a s**t if we end up #1 or not? I don't. I know we will have a strong class and the fit the players hit for us is what makes Elko so much better than the other coaches and what I really care about.
