[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 769615, member: 2299"] Except you haven't. The biggest argument isn't that the class size is small so the ranking isn't accurate, or that fit is more important, or the coaches know better. It's that a quarter of our class is not being accounted for by the ranking services because they are transfers rather than traditional recruits. And while sometimes that distinction matters, for several of our recruits it doesn't because they are coming in immediately eligible with 4 years left. The arguments in years prior revolved around either reranking recruits or adding fictional recruits we didn't land through either direct addition of "we could have added another player ranked x if we wanted to" or taking our average star rating and extrapolating it out. That isn't the case with this class. We can use the ranking the services themselves have provided with the system the services themselves have provided and can calculate how many point we would have if the transfers were counted using their highschool rankings in the system the services themselves used. And if we do this just for the transfers that transfers who are going to be freshmen next year still, so excluding Cochran and White, the points we would have in the 247 would put us 21st in the country and 4th in conference. Now you might have some issue with that argument but the argument itself is fundamentally different than the ones that have been used in the past. [/QUOTE]
