we are #104

out of 130 in recruiting

this shocks me

i never expected us to win but i certainly thought we would do much better in recruting

This is by overall recruits added up, so largely quantity over quality. Also it only counts high school players.

But out of those high school players our average commits grade over 8 players is 83.19, Marshall has the 48th ranked recruiting class but their average recruit ranking is lower than ours. They just have 27 of them.

We also have the following transfers that don't count towards that ranking:
Jhalyn Shular - Juco linebacker that chose us over Texas Tech

James Ash - DT thats an 83.82

Michel Dukes - RB/WR thats an 85.73

Nick Bags - DT thats an 82.63

Clyde Pinder - DT thats an 89.59

If those guys grades counted towards our recruiting class we'd have a recruiting class ranked in the low 70's right now. Which isn't great, but for a small class is respectable and by avg grade would be much higher. Also we aren't done yet..

Do we know how many we expect/able to sign?

You don't buy what?

So based on the previous statement to your initial post, it was said that Marshall has a 48 ranked class, HOWEVER, the average recruit grade is lower than USF's average recruit grade. So is it quantity over quality thing with you?

Yes, or a Rutgers thing.
