2020 Recruiting rankings

Also "amazing and unprecedented" for USC. Wow.
Not a single player in the top 350 nationally. That's a mind blowing statistic.

6 OL, 3 DL, 1 WR, and a kicker? That's USC's class? What the heck? Help me understand what is going on there.
Clay Helton is dreadful.
Kind of like what Bohn did by keeping a lame duck Ricardo Patton. Who wants to sign up to play for a coach when you are pretty sure he is getting fired next year. Too much uncertainty with USC and Helton

the anti-Rick class
There is only 1 ball.
Eva Braun? Izzat you?
EVERYONE in the world expected Helton to get fired so they didn’t want to commit there. I’m sure the negative recruiting was of epic proportions.

Be fair they have another WR as a hard commit. They have unsurprisingly still landed some highly rated kids through all the chaos. USC recruits itself even when you’re doing everything you can to bury your football team.
Edited for clarity since nobody could catch the sarcasm.

Two 4* players (one outside the top 300) is really poor recruiting for USC. That is not really "recruiting itself" at all.
Especially with such a small class. If USC visits and says they only have 11 spots available and they want you — that should result in a class of 11 blue chips with any level of competency from its coaching staff.

I’m not debating their class is beyond underwhelming for USC, it’s insane how bad it is for them. But, they still have an .87 average which is higher then CU and that’s with a lame duck head coach, campus scrutiny and a new AD. If CU was only taking 11 guys i wouldn’t turn down that class.
A smaller class should have a very good to great average. Any decent recruiter can make a really small class a positive.

Lane Kiffin used that argument during sanctions and crushed it. I can't believe people are actually trying to defend Helton on this

Me either. Who said that?
I'll defend him. I think Helton is doing an excellent job. Keep it up, Clay. You got this!
ESPN has updated CU to #33 Nationally and #6 in the PAC-12 (just in front of UCLA).

This is honestly shocking. Not only do I not think we lost a single high profile recruit we were in on, we gained ones that we weren't expected to get. Easily the best class in a while.

I was just thinking that, and posted on another thread. I don’t think the Buffs “lost one” in the early period and in this period? Plus, Gonzalez flipped from Purdue! To think that this could only be the beginning of the Mel Tucker era is exciting! Come on 2020 season!!!
And not to beat a dead horse, but Alfano isn’t included in that ranking. We significantly upgraded the roster.
Yep. If we could include him my calculation puts us in the Top 10.
How the F does Cal have 26 signed recruits?
The comments are great!
My guess is that they were under 25 last year and able to count back 1 or more early enrollees. Could also be greyshirt signees since I think those get calculated with the current class rank.
