Lucas Simmons commits at 1 today. 6’ 7” 300# OT.Good guys, halfass u, tinerc, condoms. Would be nice to see another boost to maintain steady momentum.
I’ve heard it’s unlikely that we get him, but I sure hope we do.
To date, I am much relieved and happy for the July surge in recruiting. Our focus on Florida kids, raising the average rating and the evaluations of the 3* guys all look good to me.
At present, we are about on pace with Mullen’s bump year (9th overall, 90.56 ranking) and his average player rating of 90.58 over the 4 classes. That is NOT adjusted for the post-signing day defections or his success with the portal. Nor do those numbers reflect the implosion of 2021 which really dug the hole BN is to refill and rebuild.
We’ll see how things go from here. I continue to think he’s doing everything right and with high integrity. I expect he will see good to great results from it. If we get our share, we’ll see the average player ranking rise along with our team ranking overall. But it’s the average player ranking plus position rankings that are of most interest to me.
