Take a look at their current commits. The bottom half of their class is not good and the top half is nothing special. They'll definitely close with a handful of big targets cause they're SC, but fans are going to be scared in a few days when they only 11-13 LOI's in. Tufono is their 3rd highest rated commit currently. This class sucks. If they land 80% of the top rated recruits they're after they'll still only finish around 10th based on class calculator.
I always look at the bottom of a class. This class is so amazing to me because there are no head scratchers. For our “worst” recruits to be Miki Ah Yu and Alphonzo Tuputala is so incredibly good and shows how much better we’ve gotten even compared to last years awesome class.
That being said, I would take Ah Yu and Tuputala any day of the week over Tufono. That means USC’s third highest recruit would be UDUB’s “worst” recruit. Think about that.
Horn is probably our worst recruit, not just rating wise and not just because he’s a kicker but because he doesn’t appear to be a good kicker and kicker is one position I definitely do not “trust the coaches.”
Recruiting kickers is all about luck. Look at Boswell for the Steelers. One of the better kickers the last couple years, this year he's about to be cut. Let's also not forget Aguayo. He wins the Groza award, and finishes his career as one of the best college kickers in history. He then gets drafted in the 2nd Round[/b] and after the worst pct. of any kicker that year, he gets waived and hasn't kicked a meaningful field goal sense.
These guys are such head cases, that you really can't predict how they'll turn out.
Yes luck plays a big part because no one knows how these kids will react to missing a kick and losing a game. Starting with a kicker who is under 50% on field goals in HS is asking for an awful lot of luck though.
Bright side...missing won’t faze him
