Class Rankings - How I see our recruits

Currently we have 7 4 stars per 24.7 (Stars.gif) and 10 3 stars. Doog that I am, I like the class better than that, and I have a number of 3 stars ahead of some of the 4 stars. Here's how I have the class as it sits now (24/7 ranking in our class in parentheses).
DNC 5 Star - High floor, Superstar ceiling
1. Yankoff (2)
DNC 4 Star - Medium floor, superstar ceiling or high floor, high ceiling
2. Spiker (1) - Only thing that gives me pause is the lack of top end speed. If that develops, as I expect, he'll be unstoppable.
3. Osborne (5) - These two are pretty interchangeable. But Osborne is white so he slides in here.
4. Taimani (4) - Outside of Yankoff, probably the most important recruit in the class based on our current roster.
5. Hampton (15) - Most underrated kid in the class. Can. Not. Lose. Him. His ranking is a fucking joke.
6. QB Sirmon (3) - Superstar ceiling, but his floor is much lower than Yankoff's. Could be a top 5 draft pick or a guy who starts fewer than 5 D1 games. Most chinteresting recruit in the class. Huge variance. Bush's skills as a QB coach might have a lot to say about how he does.
7. Mele (9) - Nobody talks about him anymore but man, what a big get.
8. Curne (12) - Huff going into Arizona and Texas to get these two bodes very well for the future.
9. Lowe (6) - Hardest kid to read in the class for me. If they really use him as a RB primarily I'd move him up to around 7. If he's primarily in the slot I'd move him down to a 3 star.
10. Culp (11) - Probably would have been a consensus four star if he'd have been labeled a TE first rather than starting as a WR.
DNC high 3 Star - medium floor, very good ceiling or low floor, high ceiling
11. Bynum (7) - Really close to a 4 for me. Really like this kid. Probably never a star though, but a very solid starter one day.
12. ZTP (14) - About like I feel with Bynum
13. Other Sirmon (9) - Probably underrated since he's been committed so long. Had he waited until last month to commit I bet some places would have 4 stars on him. Really good get.
14. Tafisi (10) - Exciting to get multiple quality defenders from Utah.
15. Ale (16) - Could suck. Could be awesome. Along with Jake, biggest wild cards in the class. Can Huff develop him? If so, BRB, YO
DNC medium 3 Star - meh
16. Newton - Tried to talk myself into this kid. Failed. Really hope Lowe plays RB.
17. Liu - Still haven't forced myself to watch his film so maybe I'm too low on him. The possibility of him never excited me other than fucking with @89ute.
Where key targets would fall if they were the 18th commit in order of how much I like them:
Togiai - DNC 5 star, #2 in the class behind Yankoff
Tremblay - DNC 4, #5 behind Taimani (I like him better than Taimani but two years of eligibility is huge)
Kaho - DNC 4, #5 behind Taimani
Gordon - DNC 4, #6 ahead of Sirmon
Irvin - DNC 4, #6 ahead of Sirmon
Love to see everyone else's lists.

I think Zion could, either, never see the field or be a total monster.

I think Lowe will be a top three pick in this
class. Another Gaskin if they're smart and play
him at RB. Hated the Newton pickup. -
Good list. I wouldn't change a thing mostly because you know this shit better than me and I am hoping to butter you up so we can do naked twister this weekend.

We'll be lucky to win 3 games in 2020

Great list. I really like Hampton but I'd have him a little lower, maybe 8th. I'd also have Liu and Dick over Ale. Ale is one of the few things I agree with BallzDeep on, I don't see how he ever turns into a useful player. He's a low 3 for me.

Chinteresting. Maybe I'm just drinking the "he's huge and he just started playing football" kool aid too much, but my impression was that he had plenty of upside just a lot of risk he never reaches it. You don't think he has the upside or just think it's highly unlikely he develops?Neighbor2972 said:Great list. I really like Hampton but I'd have him a little lower, maybe 8th.

BTW, DDY has Hampton as one of 5 DDY 3's in the class, so he's come all the way around on him. I think he's a baller. -
He's huge and a decent athlete so he has upside. I just haven't seen enough flashes from him to think that he will ever put it all together. I'd much rather have Beresford or some other guys Huff was looking at.dnc said:
