Here’s a straight up comparison from numbers from 247.

2011 – 7th nationally, 3rd SEC, 90.02 avg., 2 5-stars, 10 4-stars, 13 3-stars. In state – 5 of Top 10, 9 of Top 20.

2016 (as of right now) -- 3rd nationally (although Rivals, Scout, and ESPN each has Dawgs 2nd, 247 composite is 3rd somehow), 2nd SEC, 93.72 avg., 2 5-stars, 17 4-stars, 3 3-stars. In state – 5 of Top 10, 13 of Top 20.

It's not really close.

RE: in-state recruits –

Take another look at the Top 20 (again, as of right now). Bama with 1, no Auburn, no Tennessee, no Florida, no FSU, no Clemson (they do have 3 4-star GA recruits).

On only 6 occasions has a state school pulled in 10 or more of the state’s Top 20 where they were all ranked as 4-star+ recruits.

On two occasions, the school had 10: USC in 2003 and Texas in 2004. On two occasions the school had 11: Ohio State in 2002 and Texas in 2007.

Before today, the most impressive Top 20 in-state haul by any school: Les Miles and last year’s LSU class with 13 4-star + recruits.

Now, in his 2nd year (and 1st full one), Kirby has equaled that haul with 13 of the Top 20, with the opportunity to get more.

If he adds 1 more in-state Top 20 recruit, he will have done something that hasn’t been done before.
