I think it's unlikely we get any of the 5*s(unless Rod Taylor gets bumped up a few more points, who we are still not considered favorites for)
However, I think we STOCKPILE 4*s in this class -- to finish with a much better overall class(by average rankings), although it will be even smaller overall than this year. Going to end up being 10-15 4* highschoolers in MS, in which we already are considered imminent favorites for more than half of them(MANY fall in MSU strongholds this year after the opposite was true last year). We could easily end up with 10 or more 4*s next year...
If we take 20 next year(which is a stretch considering we only lose 11 and will likely be on a 2 scholarship reduction against the 85 number), it will be an top 15-20 class IMO...

Well one thing the last few years has taught me is to NEVER consider us an imminent favorite on a top shelf MS recruit until the final month of recruiting AFTER OM has had a chance to make their "real final offers". No bigger MSU strongholds than Philadelphia and Houston and we lost Johnson and nearly lost Jones both when OM got serious about heppin' at the end of the recruiting process. Now this is only an issure for a Top 5 type guy from MS but never again will I consider anyone like that a true commit to us until we get to January before signing and see what interesting things happen. The Reb recruiting "network" was bad enough under Nutt but it appears it has raised even another level with Freeze. I'm sure one of the reasons for which he was brought in.
