OT: Florida State and Bama haul in monster classes today...adding 9 4/5-star kids (total)

Submitted by WichitanWolverine on

It looks like FSU added 5 Rivals 4-star kids today, launching them to the top of the Rivals rankings. Bama wasn't far behind, bringing in 2 4-stars and 2 5-stars. They currently sit at #2.

But they didn't get the biggest fish in the pond! Go Blue!

Tirico lives in Ann Arbor. 

The decision to move, and stay, in the area is an interesting one, given the fact that his job offers him an opportunity to live just about anywhere in the United States. But, for the Tirico family, Ann Arbor (and Detroit, as well) is home. And they wouldn't have it any other way. "It's the best thing that's happened to us outside of becoming parents," Tirico says about living in Ann Arbor. "It's a great place to live, a great place to raise kids and a sensational community with diversity, culture and entertainment. "I get to travel all over the country, but I can't think of another place we'd rather call home and raise a family."

It's bizarre (in a good way) that the most notable ESPN/ABC sportscaster is the person showing Harbaugh a video that the #1 recruit is commiting to Michigan.

But I don't even care right now.

[Edit - I meant that from an "I'm focused on Michigan and really happy about our class" perspective.  I am not trying to give crap to the OP.]

Alabama and Saban are on pace to finish with the "recruiting title" for the 6th year in a row.

I believe they jumped from #7 to #1 after commitments from 5* ILB Ben Davis, 5* OLB Lyndell Wilson, and 4* Terrell Hall.

Yeah pretty amazed we added 2 top 100 kids incl #1 and fell 3 spots in 247 composite Ole Miss and their three 5* is just hilarious at this point. Thought we'd finish 4th but now maybe 5 or 6. Good enough to compete with the top flight. Hamilton and Elliott w Asiasi prob get us 4th but some big hauls in that top 3.

Look at his posting history. He talks about how bad our dl and ol class is then we get the number 1 player in football on the dl and we're not getting enough top recruits. Either a troll or overly pessimistic fan.

TCU,  MSU and BAYLOR laugh at rankings.  Being a great evaluator is all that matters in the end.

You know this is the biggest day for cash changing hands in the south.  Mad respect for Rashan and the others in our class who chose to do it the right way!
