Eh gotta expect an off year. UCONN was 3rd in 2015 and 4th in 2014.

Seems like a very good class to me based on needs - we get a very highly rated PG the year after Moriah graduates and we fill in depth at guard and forward. And all this after getting a three player class of very talented players. Of course it would be nice to have a center coming in, but it wasn't essential with Butler hopefully becoming a solid center for the next three years and some nice height in the 2015 class.
Compare this on paper to the Faris class and the Chong class in previous 'post-blockbuster' classes and it looks great.

Agree, the 2016 class is a lot better than some of our prior "off year" classes.

Maryland really loaded up! That is quite a class that they have accumulated. Even if Baylor lands Aaliya Wilson Maryland will still be at number 1.

absolutely agree - the "downside" of having a powerful class, much less two, is that it has an inhibiting effect on the next year (or two). There's only one basketball, five starters, and, usually, only about 8 players that get significant minutes. If you're a high school junior, and see kids a year or two ahead of you with buttloads of talent and reputation, "plan B" starts to look reeeaaalll good.

It's a tenuous comparison, but, when coaching high school softball, we had a powerful sophomore class that resulted in talented freshmen dropping softball entirely the next year, and go out for tennis or track. The "rising sophomores" knew that playing time was gonna be hard to come by for the next two years, and, understandably, they really wanted to participate in a meaningful way in something... so, they switched sports.

Plus, I think Geno could be looking to play a little different brand of ball from what I can see. Looks like he might be going to a more wide open style of shooters at every position. Having a 6'3 post , who can run , is in vogue. There are not many mobile 6'5 posts out there these days. Having an interchangeable lineup with players that can play multiple positions is really in vogue lately it seems.

JMHO.

Maybe UConn is 15th because they couldn't get girls at different heights, although their listed heights were the same

Gamecocks not in the top 20 . . .

Only vandy is represented in the omnipotent,all-powerful less-e-c conference.Where are the recruiting gurus at Tin-ow-see?

Unlike UCONN, our class is not finished. We currently have 2 players.. 1 5-star and 1 4-star player committed. We still have 4 more chances to get in the top 25 (McCoy, Harris, Caretti and Wright). 3 out of the 4 players are 5 star caliber.

Check back in February. Our classes typically round out around then.

Add in transfers and it looks different for next year for SC.

Yes it does. The transfers are going to make a major difference.

 

[VFLfan]

We gots no one

 

[SCGamecock]

We gots no one

Y'all are gearing up for a monster 2017 class I presume..

 

[Kevin G]

Awful! Just awful! Shut down the program

Thought McCoy was down to OSU and Tenn.

Dan Olsen Q&A on the list:

Speculation. Could be true, maybe not. She still has an official visit planned at SC and she'll be making her decision soon after that visit.. so until McCoy cancels her visit or says that she's down to Tenn and tOSU then there's still a chance for SC..

Who are these "experts" who do the rankings?? Didn't UNCheat have the number 1, best, can't-miss class a couple of years ago? "Bueller...Bueller....Bueller"

I thought South Carolina was out of the recruiting business and was going to rely on transfers from the ACC instead.

The SEC is waiting on the next wave of transfers out of the ACC
