I don't know what it was "ranked" (by whatever services were doing that at the time) but I think it was our highest rated class ever at the time.



The Hearst and Hastings recruiting class pre-dated the days when recruiting was its own media industry, but the Hearst/Hastings class and the 1998 class were the two biggest deal recruiting classes we had in the 90s.

Back when I was being recruited, there was this dude who had like a 10 ish page mailer with some updates and the top 10 players from each position and called them Blue Chips. It was a big deal to make the Blue Chip list. I made it at like 8. I might still have it somewhere.
People actually got their recruiting news weekly in a mailer and paid for it.
I have no idea how that dude knew who was really good or not in that era. Pretty sure he never saw me play.
