Want some of those recruiting commits that UF is getting right now. 

A possible UF implosion could reopen some of those recruitments.

I have to say that I’m impressed with what they’ve accomplished so far. I think we’ll be there next year if we can win some games this season.

Way too early thoughts on these rankings:

Auburn is in good company and in a good spot.

Florida should be recruiting where they are ranked.  No reason that program shouldn't be top 5 every year.

Oklahoma and Veneables not where Oklahoma usually is. 

LSU's average rating seems to be a little lower than what we traditionally see them at. 

If Stanford can recruit at a decent level then there is no reason Vandy can't as well. 

Not on this list but Texas only has 5 commits and is a decent way down the list. 

Of course I could be wrong about all of this next week.

Regardless, kinda puts a kibosh in the the belief that you need on-field success to jumpstart recruiting. Yes they finished #13 this past year but that's around where we should finish this year, too.

Nick Saban went 6-6 in his first season including 4 straight losses to end the year.  Didn't slow their recruiting down much.

Florida is also the in state school for the 2nd best state to get high school talent. A lot easier to get kids their than most places if your assistants can recruit worth a damn.

Side note: Goergia has easily passed Cali at #3 in terms of high school talent by state.

On3 has Auburn at #15 while 247 and Rivals have us at #34? 

Anyone know the reason for such a large discrepancy?

Seems to Rivals is behind on everything recruiting.

Thanks, E. I assumed it had to be. Does on3 give more weight to average ranking?

I think it has more to do with On3 factoring NIL valuations into their rankings. For example, Texas is 37 on On3, 58 on 247, and 59 on Rivals in total team rankings. For On3 Texas is 19 in average player rating but #12 in average NIL ranking. However they factor that NIL evaluation gives them an extra boost on On3 team rankings. Same with us. We are #10 in player rating average & #11 in NIL average rating and that gives us our boost in On3.

I know but 2 sources hearing the same thing is better than 1.

I think at some point ,NIL evaluations will probably overtake all others as money is the direct impact.

But these are player ratings. Not their nonsense guess on NIL estimates

I agree they are guessing at the NIL amounts.
