Minn has 25 verbals right now...
(6) 4-Stars
(11) 3-Stars
(8) 2-Stars
They average 2.92 stars and have 1136 points. They are ranked #21 which is good for 4th in the Big-10 - RIGHT NOW. Of their 4-Stars... 2-3 of them are JUCOs and one of them is a QB that we stopped recruiting because of grade and injury issues. They've got another 2 JUCO's in there as well. In about 3 weeks, watch their classrank drop significantly as people start committing to other schools.
Basically put, if that was OUR class - you guys would be whining about the high number of JUCOs and that it wasn't a very good class.
Now, if you look at our class, we're currently ranked #43 with an average star ranking of 2.75 and 539 points but we only have 16 commitments.
(1) 4-Star
(10) 3-Star
(5) 2-Star
There are a bunch of high ranked guys still left on the board and if we get some of them and fill the class with at least Div-1 guys (not the scrubs that JLS sometimes picked up at the end to fill-holes after Plan C guys were gone), we'll be ahead of Minnesota - maybe even top-30 and 4th in Big-10.
