I'm sorry about that. But read the posts. Everyone in the country says this like 60th ranked class and at the bottom of the Big 14. Seems accurate IMO, but I'm sorry if I offended you.
Can you explain why you think it is accurate? Because our recruiting classes have consistently been ranked 50th-70th every year under Kill yet we've gotten bigger, faster, stronger, and more talented just about every year. The 2002 class was rated 73rd by Rivals. That class had guys like Williams, Murray, and Boddy-Calhoun, all of which will probably play in the NFL.
Team rankings are pretty hard to figure out outside of the top 20 or so. Rankings don't take into account positions of need or if the kid actually makes it onto campus for example.
You have every right to think this year's class isn't very good. But based on the results of the past few years, I don't think it is delusional for other to think this is a good class and a step in the right direction. This is the biggest and fastest class we've had in a long time. That really isn't debatable.
