If we go to 19 and average 70 pts per recruit (about our average per kid now), that gets us to 1544 Rivals points. That doesn’t count any extra juice from landing high 4*s. That would be 26 rank now, but some teams aren’t done recruiting. Looks like a top 30 class.
1544 would put us at #40 in last year's final rankings.
Looking at the previous few years' final rankings, that would put us between 34th and 40th.
Clemson only has 12 commits at the moment and ranks #30. Surprised me when I saw that, especially coming off a national championship. Guessing they are taking a small class this year. They currently have a 3.67 star average, which is tied for 7th.
Last three class sizes: 21, 21, 20, with several players from those classes either not making it, or washing out. I know Frost doesn’t want to go to Reachville on this class, but I would think we could easily sign 22.
