USC Overtakes Bama

[RaidaDave]

For the #1 Recruiting class with Iman Marshall still to be determined.

Yeah, Rivals has us #1, but I think ESPN and 247 still have 'Bama #1. If Inman Marshall sign with USC, it will be interesting to see if that changes anything with ESPN or 247.

 

[Bandwagonbo2]

Depends on how the rankings are done and the way the players are evaluated. 247 doesnt see it that way as of yet.

If Iman Marshall goes USC, they should be #1

 

[Mistaken4193]

Bama is still #1 on 247(which is the recruiting site I use).

What happened to the SEC maximum per year of 25?

 

[Mistaken4193]

Alabama Crimson Tide has No. 1 recruiting class in the country

 

[RaidaDave]

LOL. Not too much consistency between the recruiting services.

Auburn had 8 enroll early and count against last years class they can actually sign 29 this year including those. Tennessee is the one I wonder about they had 31 sign last year and 29 this year which tells me they aren't getting these kids in school.

Tuberville was the king of this sign a ton of kids get a high ranking but many of the highest ranked players never saw the field.

Tennessee had 5-6 from last years class leave, but admit I don't understand the back counting, forward counting, blue shirt, grey shirt stuff.

ESPN,247, and Scout have Bama #1. Rivals has USC #1. Either way Im happy with Bamas class, we filled a lot of needs.

Same here. Both teams have signed great classes. Plus, it seems that all of the services have us so close that it's almost a 1a/1b situation anyway.

It's amazing that USC has been able to do so well in recruiting considering all the scholarships they lost due to Reggie Bush. It does help that High School Football is huge in California though.

Tennessee is now plaid shirting.

I was reading an article in this mornings paper that said that in an odd way, the sanctions almost helped USC in recruiting. The author said that the quality of recruits never changed, just the number we could get. He said that it was almost like getting a scholarship from USC almost became more prestigious. He quoted Greg Biggins who is a recruiting analyst from Fox who said:

It almost seemed like a period where an offer from USC was a bigger deal than before. Like recruits were saying "There are only 15 and they gave one to me? I must be really good.

I'm pretty sure that the realistic possibility of immediate playing time probably had something to do with it as well.

Playing right away helps. No question about it. It's going to be an interesting battle at QB for the next few years at USC. It also helps that there's so much talent close to home.

Unless someone just jumps off the chart, there won't be a qb battle this coming season. Kessler will be the qb.

However, he's a senior, so the qb battle in 2016 will be every interesting. I could see it coming down to a situation like when we had Matt Leinart and Matt Cassel. Both were excellent qb's, they were neck and neck all through training camp and Pete Carroll finally just "went with his gut" and chose Leinart.

Yeah, Rivals has us #1, but I think ESPN and 247 still have 'Bama #1. If Inman Marshall sign with USC, it will be interesting to see if that changes anything with ESPN or 247.

thought it was interesting alabama's 247 score kept rising without getting any other comittments. think they even lost a recruit.

We got 4* Daylon Charlot today. That's why our score rose a little bit.
