The way rivals tally’s a class is to rate the 20 highest rated kids. Since they are currently at 20, they can only add to their total. Though it’s unlikely other schools could pass the Ducks class ranking by adding high ranking kids who let them get lower ranked prospects out of their top 20 who factor in. STOMP
The year always plays out, and recruiting always has a massive impact on how it plays out. Just like coaching, scheduling, travel, etc..
Btw, the whole class rating thing at rivals at least. Georgia would pass Oregon if they sign the remaining 5* DT as could tOSU if they flip the 5* OT they’re working on but UO passes them both again if they reel in the TE Olesh. Regardless recruiting rankings are just opinions and I’m pretty jacked about the class wherever things end up STOMP
By "matters", what do you mean? Are you saying there is no correlation between recruiting and on field success? Are you saying on field success has to happen for future recruits to be good? I'm not following.
Sometimes it boils down to culture shock. Huge difference between Alabama and Eugene. Especially when you’re not getting any reps
Especially this sort of contribution here today. If you don't enjoy recruiting, fine, but this is a big day for those who do STOMP
