Redstormsports.com reports we have #8 recruiting class...huh? Where?

I can't find any site that ranked us the #8 recruiting class this year, much less the top 25. I would love to be proved wrong.

Clark in the Dark Francis had us ranked 8.  He places value on number of players.

Hoopscoop is premium.

But remember, some sites don't count transfers.  Some don't count JCs.  Others don't count either.

If they were coming straight out of high school, Branch and Sanchez (plus Bourgalt) combined with Obekpa and Sampson would easily be a top 10 class by virtually every recruiting site - with an additional  bump for those that also give credit for unranked bodies like Balamou and Jones..

You are assuming he'll be cleared.  Not a sure thing at this point I don't believe.
