This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

USC moved into #8 (w/21 recruits) - ND back to #9 (w/27)?? by Hickster

Oklahoma is at #10 for team recruiting rankings with only 16 recruits. Oklahoma should pass ND and have plenty of recruiting room for their 2022 class. Of the top 14 teams, there are only 2 teams without a 5-Star recruit (#6 Oregon & #9 ND).

The 2022 class for each school will on average have fewer recruits, since that class will have to get back to the 85 total scholarship limit, after the 2021 Covid-19 exception. Therefore, the Top 20 teams should have a higher percentage of 4-Stars since the elite schools may not have as many scholarships available (unless they do some draconian roster management). ND should have a lot fewer scholarships in 2022 due to having 27 recruits in 2021 (tied with VT for the largest recruiting class of any team in the top 100 classes), so they will be missing out on the extra 4-Stars that should be available.
