That's 14 commits in the Top 247 (compared to 13 in the Rivals Top 250). The only major issues I have are with the rankings of Schruath and Ford. Both are Top 100 guys on Rivals, and I think that's where they belong. Schrauth was one of the best OL at the All American Game, and Ford did really well there too. I agree more with 247's rankings of Wagner and Gobaira (both are Top 100 guys on Rivals). Wagner has a ton of potential, but will need 2 years of some serious weight training to get there. Gobaira did really well at the All American Game, but I just don't think he's there yet in terms of size and strength. 247 also has Raridon and Price a bit higher than Rivals, and I tend to agree with 247. I think Price is really underrated by the national guys - he should be closer to the Top 100. Great senior year.

 

 

Really pretty happy with this class overall. The weak spots are QB and WR in my opinion (WR only due to the numbers). However, I think the LB core is super solid, all 4 could be starters in a few years. Eli Raridon is going to be a stud TE in my opinion.

Benjamin Morrison and Holden Staes are top 247 players

 

I think that is a mistake

I would agree with that. Just look at their offer lists:

Morrison: Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Oregon, Washington (all good offers for a CB)

Staes: Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, USC (offers from the 3 elite teams in the sport)

Not sure how active these guys were in the camp circuit over the summer. Unfortunately, sometimes players who don't participate in those events are basically punished and fall below guys who do participate.

I really hope you guys are right about Morrison because news about Mickey is he is FAST. That would be a pretty sweet duo at CB. The best in a few years if not longer.
