2018 Signing Class - by the numbers

[redleg]

Arkansas' 2018 recruiting class is not very big (only 16 signees), and it's not highly rated by any stretch of the imagination. But there are some very good players that Chad Morris and crew signed in their first class, and some of them are certainly underrated.
Looking at the three available recruiting services (hawgs illustrated is tied to wholehogsports now, and is a pay site), and using the best ranking for each recruit gleaned from these sites, here is the Razorbacks 2018 signing class (that most of you already know), and who they chose the Hogs over:

If we had an overall average recruit rating of 3.35, where would that put us nationally? Just based on avg rating.
