they're still 4 stars though. most are expected to move up in the rankings at their induvisual position. They havent rated the 4 stars out of the 250 yet.
I read Boyd and Jackson are locks for 4 stardom
I read Wood, Badger, and Lombard all have very good chances.
Tommy Rees is expected to atleast be moved up to 5.7 3 stars, some people speculating 4 star.
It depends what the Rivals guys see in Danny Smith. I hope they see what scout sees.
He is an OG in college....
With Lombard locked up next season that gives us 14 linemen adding Lombard, and you guys forgetting Freeman who I would not be surprised if he starts a few games by his senior year. We will atleast add 2 more linemen giving us enough for more than a 3 deep.
I am in no way shape or form saying Joe Montana is not worthy of the list, but Quinn is just the better QB and would have won 2 NC's if he had the defense we had now. Joe's TD to INT ratio is 1:1. While he did lead great comebacks, they were spured by great defense and runningbacks.
I dont see why some of you do not like this class. when the rankings are all said and done for our current commits, it will look like this when the evaluations, rerankings, games, whatever are played.
Chris Martin-5 Star
Christian Lombard-Depends what position they rate him at...either way 4 Star
Daniel Smith-Depends what board you look at. personally I think 3 star
Blake Leuders-4 Star
Alex Welch 4 star
Chris Badger 4 star(kid is one of the hardest hitters I have seen this year)
Andrew Hendrix 4 star
Bennett Jackson 4 star(rivals guys already said he would be in the next rankings as they think he is the 2nd best player in NJ)
Alex Welch- 4 star
Lo Wood-3 star, undersized a little
Just Utupo 3 star- playing DT in HS, projects as a DE in college
Tommy Rees- 3 star- honestly not too sure about the offer
I am going to be realistic here. It comes down to the Oline and Dline, and from what I am hearing Hart and Verducci are doing great. Last year with an Oline and Dline we would have won every game but USC and maybe BC.
7-5- that is not conservative, that is hoping Charlie Weis fails.
8-4- that is pessimistic
9-3- conservative pick
10-2 realistic
11-1 optomistic pick
12-0- a little more than optomistic, but getting past USC would get us that.
I myself am going with 11-1 losing to Stanford in the final game of the season
woah there. nothing is even close to official. a guys friends friends who knows a guy on the lax team says this. Dont believe anything until it becomes official gents.
Pollard's going nowhere but here, and thats a fact as of 12 PM est today. just talked to him on AIM and he was worried about weis leaving, but now that weis is in the clear he is 100% ND
he said that. his top 6 is Notre Dame, Penn State, Boston College, Virginia, Florida and Rutgers.
and in order, I would put Notre Dame, Virginia, PSU, BC, Florida, Rutgers
Either way, We are the team to beat here for LaLota. I will be pretty surprised if he chooses PSU. PSU is more of the 3rd team in a 2 horse race right now between ND and Virginia
This is gonna be a great class, top 10. We close out with Nixon(4*), LaLota(4*) Banks(will be 4*), Motta 4*, Shaq Evans 5* Jelani Jenkins 5* and couple more surprises
I hope(and pray) that we get Jelani. Maybe Jenkins will equal this years Omar. We really didnt know much about him and thought he was a UM lock and then he visited and committed in the following days. Except he wont decomitt. LOL
