we're tied with little brother just one day from NSD.

not even close to tied in any of the metrics that actually matter. Our average is way higher. like, they average a 2 * and we average a 3*.

Also, blame Bert if you mad.

well, we are 56th and ASU is 83rd, so this whole thread is BS af.

Pretty wild stuff that 247, Rivals, and ESPN recruiting rankings differ. Who woulda thought?

We all knew this was coming, can't sign enough dudes this year to give us a chance since they grade off of a 25 scale.  If you took the average star rating of each of our commits so far and threw out the total number metric, we'd be right about where we always are in the 25 to 35 range.

Even with the very few we are taking this year the numbers are still going to have to "work themselve's out".  Just a bi-product of the $hit sammich that Coach B left behind where we have too many guys on schollie and still somehow lack depth in areas.

It's hilarious this thread exists. Seriously. The Hogs' lowest rated guy is better than anybody ASU even signed. Well, the one kid from Scooba Tech Last Chance U who is a high 3* out of JUCO is, but he's the only one. And they signed 21 kids to our 15 lmao. What a joke.

Arkansas' recruiting class is ranked 81st nationally b/c they're getting charged with 10 zeros (a zero for every non-committed player under 20). If they had 10 more commits mirroring the 10 they have, they'd be tied for 20th nationally right now. Just explaining the formula #wps

9:24 AM - 21 Dec 2017


AState has 21 commitments. We have 15 so we're being charged with 5 zeros. We were never going to sign 20 in this class. This is why our ranking is so low on Rivals.

Seeing as how there are several recruiting services, I knew it would be quicker to ask instead of going from service to service (longer than 10 seconds) to see which one matched the little snippet you used.

Of course it's true that having a limited number of slots hurts the rankings.  You can't wrapped around that.

However, it's also true that having a limited number of slots available is a very real drawback in your rebuilding effort.  If you don't have a very good roster (and Arkansas doesn't have a very good roster) you need a lot of players to come in and try to turn things around.  We don't have much room for that this year.

Arkansas does have a good roster. We have ~27 4*s, 1 5*, and almost all the rest are 3*s. We just had craptastic coaches.

Well, we had the #22 ranked roster going into the 2017 season according to 247 composite, so, either the rankings are garbage, the coaching was garbage, or some combination of both.

It was the key to the plan...THIS literally was the whole mastermind behind his long term plan and the narrative was having the deepest, upper classmen laden, and most talented roster in modern history of our program. I'm not buying it...but we shall see.

If we win 10 plus games this season because of so much obvious talent, Bielema will have to get most of the credit on the recruiting front.

Thanks for the F Shack.

Arkansas doesn't have a very good roster? But wait I thought (well actually I don't "think"- I just read it on Hogville and then I regurgitated it as truth) that we have great talent and the only thing that was standing between us and a national championship was the lousy coach we had. Now that we have a "real" coach there is no stopping the Arkansas express. I'm expecting a lot of Ws next year.

SooieGeneris

What some don't seem to get: Very few signing classes have a major impact in the first year, not even at 'Bama. One could argue that the Tide's most recent class had an impact since it was a true freshman who played the 2nd half in the NC game and led the comeback.

The impact of this class, for better or worse, will be felt down the line. That's on Bert mainly. Whatever we do on the field in 2018 will be due to the players who were already on campus. Bert whined about lack of depth and being "paper thin" at some spots at the same time we have limited slots available on the roster. Who did that lunkhead think was to blame for that?

It is what it is. This staff has done what they could in a limited amount of time. Hopefully there is enough quality in the class, there are definitely several players who are high quality, probably just not enough of them.

In the meantime, the staff will have to ramp up for 2019 and beyond to try to overcome the shortcomings of the roster. I will have to research how many slots will be available for the 2019 class. I don't think there are that many seniors, so some will have to be created. The best rating we can hope for this year is likely in the 40s FWIW.

Yes. Maybe not a national championship but definitely much more than we got

Rivals grades off of your top 20 recruits and for every spot less then twenty that is not filled is included in your average as a zero.

That's a big hiT.

The other services have a similar metric I believe.

Its posts like this that harden the hearts of Hog fans.  ASU has had a nice run in the Texas 5A football, aka The Sun Belt, but until they are tkaing away recruits from real division 1 programs theyre and afterthought in one of the smallest states.  In fact, right now, when ASU is having its best run ever in D1 and Arkansas is having one of its worst, Arkansas is still miles and miles ahead of little step cousin.  Go away Indians

I guess this is what message boards are for, but I alwayd get a kick out of fans making posts like yours when they clearly are clueless. 21 commits v 15 commits. We are penalized for having only 15 commits at the moment. It does not mean our class is not good.

I do too! It's great.

Exit Pursued by a Boar

With the early signing date and the late hiring of Coach Morris, having a small class may be the best thing that could have happened.  Our average is right about where it always is, we're filling holes for the most part, and we're setting up for next year.  If our roster, which ranked around 22 last year, actually responds to the new staff, it will be an experienced, fairly high ranked group playing against one of the weakest schedules we've had in years.  Will that translate into 8 wins (my ceiling)?  I don't know, but I doubt a larger class would get us to 8. Meanwhile, next year and the year after, when the staff has more time to evaluate and build relationships, we'll have more spots.

Here's the deal, we knew in September or before that this class was not going to be highly ranked, because we were signing 15 or so players. Here is a fact, our class on November 15th with 3 fewer players ranks higher than we do currently, and my opinion we would end up with Ferrell and Bishop plus a few others like a Fulwider, and one or 2 not on our radar.

True but their class will end up one of the best ,if not the best in their conference, and that is added to what is considered the best roster of talent in the SBC. I mean that is what counts, how you compare to your peers, and your peers are the teams in your conference.

As long as the jumpsuit has his initials on it, he'd probably do it. Elvis died on the crapper, Bert's seat cushion just smells like death by the way Patterson and the other coaches reacted..

You can when you take into account the formula uses for counting non-committed players under 20 as 0's. No way are the two recruiting classes the same. Sorry. It's not spin, but fact. When you don't have that many slots, the low ranking is going to happen.

Well if they did they would most likely lose, but their talent is getting better every year, and they have enough talent to put together a solid 2-deep.

According to 247 composite ratings they do have the best class in the SBC, https://247sports.com/Season/2018-Football/CompositeTeamRankings?Conference=SBC and the best roster of talent in the SBC https://247sports.com/Season/2017-Football/CollegeTeamTalentComposite?Conference=SBC.

That just means they have the talent to compete for an SBC Championship.
