15 Worst BCS Recruiting Classes

[Who'sYourData?]

How on earth can you evaluate a recruiting class in August?

Whatever that guy is smoking, it's got to be the good stuff.

Well, I can see where someone who is knowledgable, which this guy clearly isn't, could evaluate the Top 5 or so recruiting classes at this time, because THOSE schools have many more verbals consisting of the top HS prospects.

All, he is doing is looking at stars on a recruiting site, which for most of the schools at this point is meaningless. Quite a few of those two star guys will move up, because they are relatively unknown at the moment. He doesn't seem to have independent knowledge of his own on any of those players.

in Holtz I trust - and there is no mention of the academics of these recruits, but CSH has definitely made improvement here and this makes them more likely to be 'coached up'.

I don't think it's as bad as they make it sound, but it still isn't nice to see...

I hope you realize that is BLEACHER REPORT. Anybody can write for them, so I wouldn't pay them any attention.

According to Rivals, of the 9 USF verbals 5 are 3-stars and the other 4 have not even been evaluated.

I know that Scout has us with fewer 3-stars, but many of the 2-stars they have for us are rated by their Florida site as being in the top 100 in the state. So, that doesn't make any sense. 

What, you think that Florida has a great abundance of high school football talent? Where would you get such an idea?  ;D

It doesn't matter what we were ranked in recruiting last year, we didn't have as many scholarships to give out as most of the schools ahead of us.  Schools get points for each player that signs so if we only have 25 schollys and another school has 30 they may end up with more points but less quality.

I'm 100% with you on this, even if your hypethetical numbers are off. Recruiting rankings are highly arbitrary, and in fact, the reason why we had that #25 class in 09 was because of shear volume and a couple of highly rated jewels (JPP, Victor Marc, Bradley Battles and Ricardo Dixon).

Bleacher Report should be on the "Do Not Read" list for very college football fan.  I have yet to see a good "article" on there, and even the ones that were half good are counteracted by the truly miserable other schlock on there.

The only thing more important than an August ranking of recruiting classes, is the August ranking of new conscession items offered this fall. The new pizza toppings have yet to prove themselves and let's not forget that the curly fries could have some academic issues.

We can poke fund at this goofy assessment this early, and it is a bit ridiculous to do at this point because no one knows who's waiting on commitments from whom, and we all know USF is a notorious late signer especially wen it comes to many of our marquee names.  But there is some reason for nervousness with this class.  Remember the average FL top 100 there is about 55% of the kids have already committed, and there are another 20% that USF isn't even in on.  So USF is really on the hot seat right now to start grabbing some elite guys.

Remember we're not in a conference for the weak any longer.  Pitt has 4 Top 250 players verballed already, RU two, WVU 1, and UL is pickin up steam, and Cinci has one top 250.

USF has lost out on a number of top targets recently so we're going to need to work extra hard if we want to continue the streak of signing at least 1 four star player every year since 2003.
