It's never fair to analyze a class -- good or bad, football or basketball -- until you have the hindsight to do so, which is why I've never understood why a typical
MSU, Iowa, Wisconsin, etc. fan shouts from the rooftops when Rivals deems their Class a Top 15-20 or why they're ready to slit their throats if it's in the 30-40 range.
Frankly, there isn't much difference between a No. 20 and a No. 35 class, especially when you take the coaches and the kind of development/guidance they'll receive once they get on campus into consideration. That has been
's bread and butter -- he has the track record of a practice and game-day developer, vs. a living room legend. His classes will never blow you away numbers-wise, but I think we'll be more than pleased with the results when all is said and done. Keep the long-term in mind if the short-term has you down on Feb. 6.
