When looking at our class I decided to compare this class to past years. I used the commitment list from ESPN because it differentiates the ratings a little bit more (67-100) than what Rivals does (5.3-6.1?). I will post the rankings of some of the highest rated players in order using the 2013-17 classes. Hope you enjoy!

These are all of the players that were rated 79 or higher. Here is a class breakdown of the top 17 players:
2017- 5 of top 17

Our 2017 class looks to be the best class with some very talented players. Hopefully they all show up to campus and stay out of trouble.
