Quick Recruiting Update

Despite that we are all still reeling from the loss on Saturday, I was looking at RaiderPower.com and noticed that Tech has moved up to #11 in the country for the 2011 recruiting class according to Scout.

I know we still have a long way to go until signing day, but does anyone have any idea if we've ever been this high at any point in the year? I would guess not, but I don't have any basis for saying that. Maybe someone who has followed recruiting longer than me can help me out.

This bump in the ratings seemed to mainly be due to the addition of DL Jon Lewis, but also more importantly that DL James Castleman has been bumped up to 4 stars (even though Rivals still hasn't bothered to rank him at all!). That makes six 4 star recruits now. The ratings should also go up a little more after the juco DB Justin Rogers and postgrad DB Jeremy Reynolds get ranked.

When was the last time Tech's recruiting class ranking was higher than the offense ranking? Hmmm.

Just a minor bright spot for Red Raider Nation while we have to endure another 11 days until the next game.

Thanks for the good news!

Now can we get back to complaining about this year’s offense?

Very nice

This will be our best class ever if we are able to escape this season with a decent record. Need to beat some in state schools for sure.

This is just plain weird !!!

(even though Rivals still hasn’t bothered to rank him at all!).

I cannot imagine that it is even possible to have that much disparity in the services’ perspectives…even though I hold little value for what they do.

Note

Michael Brewer and Deandre Washington could easily be bumped up to 4 stars, depending on their senior seasons in highschool. We are also at the top of the list for Branden Jackson, a high3/low 4 star DE out of Pennsylvania. Imagine having a legitimate Top-10 recruiting class? With a Top 10 class, who cares what style we play? Classes like that will win games (unless you’re clemson and notre dame)
