No Doubt.Wait wasn't that a band.We are going to have one hell of a team for next decade.And like you said, a Nasty football team.

USC always comes on strong with their 5*s and I would assume Florida has to make some noise.

And, for the first time in recent memory:

medvnd That rating has got to shock the socks off many a media guy

if ND can finish recruiting with the prospects we all think ND can land, then it would be hard to budge ND out of the #1 class.

The way I see it, our average star rating should only go up. From here on out, it seems to me that ND is only looking at 4 star guys.

I agree Russ. All but a handful of the five-star recruits (on Rivals, that is) have already committed, and the remaining ones are scattered around the country. I don't see any one school, with the possible exception of USC, landing enough five-stars to surpass our class, that could very well have 19 or 20 four- and five-star players. Guys like Crist and (if we land him) Baldwin may very well rise to five-star status as well.

 

I'll be the first to say that the star and ranking system is flawed and almost meaningless, but the kids still pay attention to it--see Dan McCarthy's statements about recruit rankings at his commitment yesterday. Momentum is our greatest ally right now.

We could also see some of our 3-stars easily move up to 4. Hafis Williams (if I remember right) was second-team All-America previously. Posluszny is coming off an injury.

 

So we may get a bump from those guys too

i agree. i also could see omar hunter moving up to 4-stars. after watching his video its hard to understand why he isn't a 4-star player already. i could see johnson, floyd, baldwin and filer all moving up to 5-star status as well in the end.

I don't know what Danger is talking about. He is a 4 star.

i take that back, i just looked to be sure and omar hunter is a 4-star player. oops.
