We are the highest we have been since the Butch back to back no. 5 clasess of 2014-2015. Of course, this may not hold up.

But

We have fewer selections than most, definitely fewer than the two teams ahead of us and our average star rating of 3.84 is second only to Uga and OSU (currently 1-2). 

This is in stark contrast to past years, in which we would have more selections and a lower star rating and so could anticipate dropping.

Disclaimer...I know ratings are not  everything and can often be wrong, but they are not completely wrong, there is definitely a statistical correlation between recruiting ratings and succes.

Thus we need to do as well as we can, and this is looking to be our best class since 2015, and it seems pretty likely to be better. 

Top 5 in the country is where we need to be to compete with bammer and uga, and it looks like we will get there.   

More important...WAY more important...we finally have an HC who knows what to do with that talent.

The quality and depth seems so much better in these classes.

And like you said, having confidence that the coaching staff isn’t a bunch of boobs makes a huge difference.
