If it weren't for silent recruits we'd have no recruits at all.
But seriously folks, I just popped over to Rivals and one of our 4*s got knocked down to 3*. Don't know who. Irregardless we be sitting at 9 4*s and 9 3*s. I'm a firm believer that anything less than 2/3rds blue chippers is a bummer so by my count we need the next 9 to be 4* or better.

I'm not a member so I can't access the article, but Jalon Jones gave a recent interview where he said that Mullen as secured a few silent commits. This doesn't surprise me, but I don't understand the strategy. What is the benefit of having a recruit keeping his commitment silent?

Isaiah Stokes was a "silent signee" for UF a couple of years back.

Gators land Stokes, ranked No. 60 in ESPN 100

Jeff Goodman said:
... He told ESPN he signed with the Gators during the early signing period, but he had hoped to keep it quiet until he returned home for Christmas break so he could make an announcement in front of his family.

My brother did that, and I was there," Isaiah Stokes said. "So I wanted to do it in front of my 9-year-old sister, Kaitlin."

So people may even have their own family reasons to make the announcement when they want. Sadly for Stokes somehow his signing leaked out.

This class has a long way to go. Not elite by any stretch of the imagination.

Not only do the next nine need to be 4* or above, but there needs to be a couple kids pushed out of this class as well.

Rivals updated their Rivals 250 this week (I think this is the last update).

Pretty sickening to see how many Alabama (#1) has on this list. Other rankings: A&M (#2), LSU (#3), UGA (#6), Arkansas (#11), UT (#13), Auburn (#14), Ole Miss (#17), Miss State (#20). FSU #16....and Scott Frost sitting at #15.

We're currently ranked #21 on Rivals. If we move up to #10 to #12, we likely finish - at best - 5th in the SEC.

Team rankings:
2019 Team Rankings

We only have 3 commits on the list and likely end up w/ 5, possibly 6. Which means we likely finish around #12.

Only 29 5-stars. LSU has 3, Alabama 1, UGA 1, Auburn 2, A&M 2, South Carolina 1, FSU 1, Clemson 2

Of note:

Chris Steele is #13 overall
Elam up to #110
Hopper down to #129
Black up to #155
Wright down to #172

Quashon Fuller #246

*No Zipperer, Summerall, Harvey, Tarquin....or any OL for that matter.
*Kimbrough is now a 4-star on Rivals

This may end up being the best class Bama has ever had.

Remember when we had multiple kids in the Top 20?

Remember when 80% of our kids were in the top 10 of their position... And there were usually a dozen in the top 5 of their position?
