[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 774377, member: 198"] I don't want to wade into all the mud being slung. I think you guys aren't understanding what I was trying to point out. THIS year is different than most normal years (at least historically). For a myriad of reasons (CoViD19, free transfer year, free play year, etc.), younger kids are transferring. I don't know how prevalent it is across the board, but GT has added at least 4 transfers this year that will have immediate eligibility next year and will have 4 years of eligibility left. That means these guys are equivalent to our incoming freshman class in terms of eligibility but will already have 1-2 years in college programs. This will help tremendously with the biggest transition from HS to college, the speed of the game. These are kids that aren't transferring because they've hit a dead-end at their current school, they're either true freshmen or RS freshmen. Our coaches have chosen to bring in these seven transfers (4 freshmen) because they believe they'll help our program. They brought them in over getting 4 additional HS players. So, we only have 16-17 HS players that are counted towards our recruiting ranking, which is based on a minimum of 20 recruits. So, we are 3-4 players shy of the minimum, which negatively affects our rating. These other schools that also have transfers have a ranking based on 20 recruits, so it's not really apples to apples. These are the extenuating circumstances that are valid when discussing recruiting class rank THIS year. I'm very happy with the 16-17 HS students we picked up and the 4 transfers with 4 years of eligibility for a freshman class of 20-21 students. I believe this class is better than the 45th rank position. That was the point I was making. Anything else is dumb. [/QUOTE]
