2019 Recruiting Class - Surely the best ever :D

[adoraz]

Can't find the list I made for the previous 6 years

Maybe here?

Nova picks up Saddiq Bey. 4 stars on 247.

So, according to 247...

2018:
1 five star
12 four stars

2017:
0 five stars
12 four stars

2016:
1 five star
13 four stars

2015:
2 five stars
11 four stars

2014:
1 five star
19 four stars

2013:
0 five star
11 four stars

2019: (in progress)
0 five stars
5 four stars

Honestly, the 2014 number seems a bit inflated to me and I'm not sure if that's accurate. It seems they classified a couple 3 stars like Sean O'Mara (#158 overall) as a 4 star on this page (which is the number I used):

So maybe a glitch, but regardless 2014 still looks like the best class.

I absolutely think you can argue the 2018 class is the second best. It has the most Top 50 recruits of any BE class (yes, even beating the 2014 class- 6 vs 4). Those players just barely fell outside the 5 star range.

The only class with more 4/5 star recruits (aside from 2014) was the 2016 (1 additional 4 star recruit). That class, however, only had 2 top 50 players (vs 6 for 2018).

So assuming this is the end of the class and there's no further decommits or commits, I'd say this class is second best overall in our history. Pretty good.

Thanks! Updated:

It seems like Ewing's been stockpiling center projects. And Willard and McDermott isn't shying away from it either. The conference is going to look a lot bigger next season.

Incredibly impressive recruiting job by X. Who needs Mack?

[scoscox]

Love Tandy. Really excited for him. Looks like a bucket getter and should be a really tough defender. Saw Nova getting a little momentum for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. Looks like a very nova type player from his highlights. Any idea from Nova people how good your chances are?

[gtmoBlue]

And I am looking forward to snagging JRE off the transfer list in a year or 2. If he goes Nova, that won't happen.

Any idea from Nova people how good your chances are?

I just know that the last 2 crystal balls went to Nova.

If he does commit to Nova, we're looking at possibly 12 players in the rotation
