The current group of recruits has moved us to #21 in Rivals rankings. Need one more to maybe get us into the Top 20.

Cool.

Please remember that we were in the 40s a couple weeks ago .
Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh Here comes the ban hammer.
Funny
How everyone rips on rivals then uses there rating system to get excited about our players rank and our class rank.
Oh how I hate ohio state...
Considering....
.....the uncertain state of affairs just a few short weeks ago, #21 isn't a bad recovery from near catastrophe.

Because everyone knows...
There's a huge difference between the 21st ranked class and the 20th ranked class.
I actually prefer the number 21
for obvious reasons.
Because that's how old you
Because that's how old you were when you first hugged a girl?
ZING!
Just kidding.
I know you're referring to Barry Sanders.
Am I missing something?
Could've sworn Barry was 20.

Holy crap, #20 S Carolina!!
Holy crap, #20 S Carolina!! 33 signed???

For some reason, I thought
For some reason, I thought Steve Spurrier wouldn't be an oversigner. Apparently not.
Only 20 signed
I was going to say that's great considering we only signed 20, but then I see Florida @ 13 with 18 signed.
This class should leave us
This class should leave us with around 3 scholarships banked for next year? Not sure but that is my guess after what I have been hearing around here the last few weeks.
No banked. Just means we have
No banked. Just means we have 85 if Williams and Watson return. Grady and Kovacs also keep theirs. Our 2012 class sits at 15 to start. Will probably stretch to 20 through attrition.
If you look at the avg. star
If you look at the avg. star rating in both Rivals (#20) and Scout (#18).
So, considering only signing 20 keeps our overall score down, looking to average stars per recruit is a better measure of talent per recruit rather than overall class.
Class of '97: 4 Years -- 4 Four-loss seasons
FWIW
A quick glance places us 20th in terms of average star rating.
Edit - Sorry for the redundant post.
defensive ranking?
I would love to see where our class ranks defensively. We had a highly ranked offense last year, with few positions of need and little focus in this class. I am certain our defensive class ranks closer to top 10 which is huge considering our needs on D.

I hate USC
That is all.
Due to me being super lazy
Due to me being super lazy and not looking myself, anyone know what the class rankings are on the other services...ESPN, Scout, etc.?

We are, in fact, #20 if you
We are, in fact, #20 if you go by average star ranking, and #3 in the Big Ten (#4 if you want to count ND) by that measure.
Uhhh ... nd is not in the B1G, so they don't count
for anything ! nd gave the B1G the "finger" ... it is high time we left them out of anything related to this board (except when we play them). They need to join the Big East, with their BB team. They might have a chance to finish in the top 3 in the Big East. They would fail miserably in the B1G.
Go Blue !
No place on earth I'd rather be on a football Saturday than Michigan Stadium !
Bulletin board material for the Class of 2011
According to the ESPNU coverage, Michigan's class is rated as 8th best in the B1G !
That's right behind every team except Minnesota, Purdue and Indiana. Hopefully Brady posts this for this incoming class. They need a chip on their shoulder to make fools of the ESPN rankings. In fact the entire team needs to have "chip" to prove something to the entire college football world. Arghhh ... I am so ready, its time to make a statement in the B1G.
Go Blue !

ESPNU kind of lost me when
ESPNU kind of lost me when they ranked this team behind such illustrious programs such as NW and Illinois.

Good to see Clemson ranked so
Good to see Clemson ranked so high, since it will make it that much sweeter when they go 8-5 every year. That school recruits so well for being so immensely mediocre.
