As of today we are ranked top 4 in the 4 main recruiting services. I expect us to finish top 2 after NSD. We all knew this was coming when Urban took the job. He is a top notch recruiter and all he needs is a trip to the national title next year to be able to cherry pick every recruit he wants. Where do you guys think we finish after NSD?
ESPN: 4th
Rivals: 3rd
247: 2nd
Scout: 3rd
I see us getting to the top spot on 247. Top 2 in all the others. Honestly, I cannot fathom a year outside the top 5 during Myer's tenure at OSU. I know that may just be my blatent Homerism shining through, but I'm just being honest.
“Right now, Michigan is not at the pinnacle of college football, and that’s all Urban Meyer cares about...He’s been there and knows what it takes to get there.”
If there's ever a year where we do end up outside the top 5, it would be next year, just because of the scholly limits and the fact that it will probably be a smaller class. That said, I still think a top 5 class is likely next year given the talent we're going after and how much they all seem to like tOsu,
Hard to say. Sure, we have a few players we're still in on but all of the other teams above or around us are in the running for some big time recruits still as well. I don't have a great feeling about Vonn Bell which wouldn't bode well for us jumping up any further. I think where we are now is about where we'll be unless we get Bell and another NSD surprise or something unforeseen.
Bell is the biggest chip that it seems like we're still in on. My guess is 2nd on Scout and 247, 3rd is as high as we'll go on ESPN and Rivals (in both cases I feel Bama and Florida will finish higher than us if Bama gets Laremy Tunsil, even if we grab Bell). I'm not very knowledgable about statistics/ranking movement though, so I'm sure someone could give us a better idea regarding how getting individual players might change our rankings.
Gibson is a 4 star and I think we flip Smith who is also a 4 star. I think Worley is 3 on some and maybe 4 on some. I think we could move up if we land those guys. Bell would be icing on the cake. I'm not sure what to think about him tho. I think the notion of seeing the offensive side of the ball might intrigue him.
To be in the top 5 of rivals without 1, 5 star recruit is impressive
Just picked up Chris Worley. Committed today.
Do the above rankings reflect Worley's commitment today or does it usually take a couple days for the services to update their rankings after a commitment?
Probably before, but the rankings didn't move if that's the case.
I got those rankings before Worley committed.
THX!
