No I’m comparing development trumping recruiting ratings! How many 4 star seniors did that 3 star group blow away?

When did Bryson Jackson leave? As of an article on January 14, 2020, said taunted him for this season and I have not seen anything saying he left.

Great points regarding the transfers from last year. I guess we’ll see…again. Any who, that upcoming event is supposed to be a practice watch party. So we’ll get to actually see. ha!

All I care about is field results. Rankings mean nothing as we watched the 2015 Coogs kill FSU in Peach Bowl a few years back. Proper coaching can make up for lackadaisical rankings.

Difference between 65 and 81 is probably not very significant considering the actual ability to determine the difference between a low 3 and a high 3 is probably really, really hard.

The difference between 36(2016) and 81 is probably significant.

OL may not be the sexiest position (unless you have a thing for big men :wink:) and it may take a few years for them to develop, but as we’ve learned the last few years, if you don’t have an Offensive Line, you don’t have an Offense.

… Unless you’re a genius like me. Only I have the eye that can determine who’s an 88.946 and who’s an 88.624. It’s actually very simple if you know what you’re doing. Plain as day.

Two posters upthread disagree. So which is it?

Jucos (if they commit in time) will count. Normal transfers do not.

UH needs to take 7-10 from the transfer portal every year. This is a market we have and will continue to perform well. We are a perfect spot for Houston area kids wanting a second chance.

And the difference between a .8531 WR and a .8332 OG

Correct. Good observation. Transfers only count against the 85-man scholarship limit (amount of scholarship players allowed to be on the team at one time).

If things come together well, we could see many of the UH 2020 Class FB recruits (defense) help to carry us to an AAC championship, including the following guys:

Eyabi Anoma - DL - 6’5" - 250# (Ala)
Sedric Williams - DL - 6’1" - 302# (Juco)
Dot Chidozi - DL - 5’11" - 293# (HS)

Malik Robinson - LB - 6’0" - 220# (Juco)
D’Anthony Jones - LB - 6’2" - 255# (Juco)

Gervarrius Owens - S - 6’0" - 200# (Juco)
Kelvin Clemmons - CB - 6’1" - 195# (Minn)
Hassan Hypolite - S - 5’11" - 205# (Colo)
Jayce Rogers - CB - 5’8" - 165# (Juco)
Marcus Jones - CB - 5’8" - 175# (Troy)
Javoni Stewart - S - 5’8" - 175# (WVa)

So, I would have to say that I am not too worried about our 2020 recruiting class star rating/ranking.

All the criticism of these rankings aside, FIU out recruiting UCF is very surprising.

37

At pretty much any level outside the top 10/15 it is wildly full of speculation. Too many different people evaluating too many different kids without a specific standard to differentiate between very slight differences.

I generally leave it to the coaches to bring in kids they think fit the team (hopefully) and not get caught up in stars unless that kid also fits in with the team.

O and D lines are the heart and soul of a quality program.

I’d be very interested in this kid coming here to compete with Tune.

What’s the highest ranked G5 recruiting class of all-time? Was it us when we were #36 in 2016?
