Just looked at Scout.com's top 300. The Cougars recruiting class has no rivals (no pun intended) among non AQ schools. Here's to hoping it translates on the field. http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73...pid=88&yr=2010

Those rankings are utterly worthless, especially right now. This has been discussed. Babs, junkie, BO, HL, everyone agrees. For one thing, they're to a large extent based on numbers of commitments, and BYU has twice as many as many teams. BYU has not only maxed out, it has committed a half dozen more than is even legal because the excess are mission bound. A team like Boise is so low right now because there's a pecking order of prospects, e.g., a prospect wants to go to Nebraska, who has its eye on a higher rated one at the same position who is waiting to hear from Florida. As the highest rated prospects commit the uncommitted ones have to take the best available school. Sometimes good ones drop down to Boise's level, so it's being patient. The same thing is happening to Utah.
BYU is unusual in that its commits have known for a long time that they want to go to BYU because they are LDS or just dweebs.
EDIT: Ultimately, everyone has rughly the same number of signees, so the final rankings hold some water. But in my opinion once you get outside the top 15 you're pretty much guessing. Who had the better class? No. 32 or no. 44? WHO KNOWS???!!Last edited by SeattleUte; 01-19-2010, 05:32 PM.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

Here's the take away. Beyond a relatively few special prospects the great center of the bell curve is virtually fungible. But coaches/programs aren't! Anyone who rejects Boise for Fresno or Idaho is stupid.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
