That tells me they don't really care. They are in business to make money and the money is in Power 5 conference team coverage, so I get it. The sooner we all grasp that fact the better off we'll be. I'm not saying it's completely worthless or not worth discussing but the difference between the top & bottom classes in the G5 are not that substantial. L.C. has laid out previously that some of our best players are often unranked or lowly ranked and many of our higher ranked players come in and do nothing. I used to follow this closely and get bent out of shape over low ranked classes but it's simply not accurate enough to get worked up about. If it makes anyone feel better if you add Middlebrook & Rhodes (Kittrell not in the service that I see so wouldn't count towards points or averages) our average rating per player is 81.15 which is just behind Miami at 81.24 for 4th best in the conference. Still last in total points but again that's purely due to small class size. If you want to look at the truly "worst" class in FBS look into New Mexico. 1 signee. ONE. The other fact I thought was interesting is the G5 has a total of 4 star recruits and they both are heading to UC. Last thought for now...it seems a lot of our guys will be early enrollees this year. That's great and I believe changes the math on class size some. Perhaps we're expecting more departures.

I’m not sure that it’s 247 sports that keeps up with all signing as much as each schools PR department. A bunch of Buffalo, BGSU and Central M guys came up in groups yesterday. Most were unrated. I’m guessing that media releases sent to 247 sports got them on the lists.

According to Phil Steele's 2015 college football MAC ratings Western Michigan was 1st and 78th overall, Toledo 2nd and 80th overall, the Bobcats were 5th and 96th overall and Buffalo was 11th and 126th overall. That same year Florida State was rated best in the ACC and 3rd overall. South Florida led the AAC in recruiting and was 53rd overall, USC was 1st in the PAC-12 and 2nd overall, with UCLA 2nd in the PAC-12 and 14th overall. Appy State was rated 94th overall and sixth best in the Sun Belt. Iowa was rated dead last in the Big ten and 64th overall. Looking at the results today, these rating systems are a crapshoot at best.

Well Sac State just got 4 listed, Liberty 5 and Marshall 11 I think. So some schools are coming in groups.

Wasn't that 2015 Western Michigan class the class of LeVante Bellamy who led the charge defeating Ohio this season? Top MAC classes often contain a skill player that makes a difference.

Joe Burrow was rated 3-stars by Rival and just had the best year of any player in 1A and likely will be taken first in the NFL draft. I don't think AJ had any stars when he walked on at Ohio and became one of the best in the MAC. I don't even look at the class rankings. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive. Back to Top L.C.

The class is still small relative to the other schools though, so they still rank 11th out of 12 in the MAC. They're also still missing Cleotis Anglin. New signee Dorsey is the second highest rated member of the class.
