Based on scholarship numbers, what number of recruits are we targeting for this class ?
The stat that we would need 8-3* commits and 8-2* commits to break the top 100 seems off to me. Feels like that would put us in the top 60 or so.
I count 13 scholarship Seniors on this years roster. Assuming a certainl amount of attrition, I expect a class in the area of 20.
The 2 star rating is pretty much a joke IMHO. All it means is that one or more recruiting services have decided to give the recruit a rating, which could be anywhere from 2 to 5 stars, and they got the lowest possible rating (no such thing as a 1 star). Theoretically, the chances of an unrated player being really good would actually be greater than a 2 star. In the past, we signed some players who were unrated, but that was as an FCS program. I noticed that ALL of Coastal´s signees this year (their first in FBS) had either 2 or 3 stars. I don´t know if that is something the rating services do for all FBS programs, or possibly Moglia or Willie Korn worked out a deal to get all of their committments rated. Either way, it means nothing on the football field.
