Add Joe Henderson...#41 overall and #3 Weakside DEnd and let's call it a day!

It's something to see how the powerhouse football teams competing for Juco's. I hope nobody is griping about getting Juco's when we have had good luck out of them and schools like Bama, Oklahoma, UT etc all go after the same guys.

He needs to be higher.

I predict that Ross will end up much higher than that.

We will end up 25-35 on rivals when signing day is over. We have 3 four stars and it usually takes 5 or 6 to make the top 25. Remember we have 20 commitments and most others have 5-8 less. Only the top 20 recruits count. We have two recruits that combined only give us 45 points(a 5.2 and 5.3) so we'll add more points only as new commits exceed what we now have.

Has there been any suggestion Ross might play anywhere other than WR or flex TE for us? Even much discussion of the latter?

 

[CatDaddy4daWin]

I believe we'll end up top 25/top 20 as a few of our guys will get that 4th star. Probably end up with 6 or 7 4 star guys. And if we go over 20 those 5.2/5.3 guys will get dropped

 

[DaBossIsBack]

A few guys are going to get bumped. Especially guys like Snell and Rose.

Can add Daniel, Gilliam and Robinson too.

Definitely. This class will be top 20/25 once it's over.

Cross ain't gonna stay a 2 star, that is for damn sure

I've been pleasantly surprised at just how good Stoops has been at having vision for the future when he's recruiting..it takes vision to implement those JUCO guys..if you think back Rich Brooks was always good at plugging in JUCO guys at positions of need

I was reading an article me the other day about Alexis Johnson who committed to Tenn. I think it was Rivals or scout where it said that they reviewed some additional tape of him and upgraded him to a 4th star.
So it's not unheard of for a recruit to be bumped up another star if the rankings service "find the time" to review tape.

Always thought star rating were flawed. Noticed over years many players rating go up after they commit to Bama, LSU, OSU, and Southern Cal.

Agreed/

I also agree that many of the UK commits mentioned should be bumped up-------but please don't hold your breath until it happens, we need all our fans.

Also pretty ridiculous that Rivals seems to think the only way you can evaluate talent is to see it at one of their own camps.
