re: 2018 Arkansas Football and Basketball Recruiting Thread *C Ibby Ali Commits*

Robert ‘Tractor’ Traylor of Michigan?

Moody to Bama

Does anyone remember a worse recruiting class? On paper that is.

By ranking, no. But the average player rating is better than 2013, 2014, and 2017. That's as far back as I looked.

Foucha to Arkansas

Low numbers (need depth), low composite score on 247 (although we've had lower scores in recent years), and low OL numbers.

Obviously this is just the beginning and a class can't be judged until year 4, but we'll see.

Can't offer scholarships that don't exist.

I think he's referring to the average composite score of the players, not the overall ranking.

These coaches can’t do anything about the numbers that we’re predetermined to their arrival. With who we’ve signed today we are already over the 85 max cap for fall camp so more will have to be leaving after spring practice.

Rankings are very subjective not only based on quality but many sites stop updating rankings before the guys we get committed or sign with us. If the player has less than three red dots under ranking that means a service hasn’t evaluated or given ranking.

OL was never going to get flipped over night unless we had someone like Pittman with a bunch of scholarships. Jones flipping to ND was obviously the big loss but not much you can do about that with the season we had and his interest elsewhere.
