The reality is that UW is at a point where we can pretty much expect Top 10-15 classes
I think the big question is can we ramp up to the Top 5 range starting with the 2021 class
I don’t think we can. If we could, shouldn’t it happen this year? USC a mess, UCLA 3 wins, Flowe friends with Davises, Ringo from here at our best-developed position, Bijan at a HS we have tradition with and no strong incumbent, Botelho “in the bag” with our strong Poly movement, etc.
All misses.
Next year we have three in state five stars versus one this year. One of them is already committed, one is rumored to be a silent commit, and the other is Egbuka who I’m way more confident in at this point than I was Smalls at the same point.
Then you have Troy Franklin, Kingsley, Keith Brown and Molokai for our in state elite talents who we are the current front runners for (we won’t get them all but won’t whiff on them all either)
Then you add Latu, Prentice, Simon, whichever other in state wr we decide we want with Egbuka (Lonyatta, maybe), and Ethan Calvert and you’re at or over ten blue chip commits without Lake taking anybody, and Huff and Milloe at only one commit each. And we haven’t even mentioned Korey Foreman who is throwing up dubs with Myles Murao.
Tl; dr: We should get two five stars at the very least, anything below three would be a huge disappointment and five wouldn’t be a shock. And we have the inside track in a number of high four stars.
We are getting a top 5 class next year, even is SC hires Urbs.
GATSSYN.
