Just some perspective on how big that Oliver signing was last year, going through the 247 composite rankings the highest ranked G5 recruit (unless there is a surprise coming) is an OT for Memphis who is #211, then the next highest is an athlete for Boise St at #319. Oliver was #6 last year.
Another highly touted recruit spurns Lyinā Tom Herman.
Yep, Hermanās having to spin this class since he came in saying he was putting together the best group of recruiters the state had ever seen.

We have 3 to give is my understanding. We had 22 scholarships available for the year.
Overall:
We are the 66th best signing class.
We are rated the 4th best signing class in AAC with 19 signed.
We are the 2nd best in the AAC in regards to rating per recruit 82.66.
Compared to other new coaching staffs in the conference:
USF signed 16 with 12 3* and an average rating 82.18
Cincy signed 23 with 1 4* and 17 3* and an average rating 81.68
UConn signed 18 with 10 3* and an average rating 79.96
Temple signed 17 with 5 3* and an average rating 79.09
The only reason I care at all about stars is the hype and attention it brings to the program. Iām far more interested in having kids here who want to compete and win. Like weāve said repeatedly on here in other threads, some of our most impressive and successful players were 3 stars and under. Iām just hoping this coaching staff can coach these boys up and bring home another conference championship. I want to be traveling to another NY6 game again next December/January!
